Democrat presidential candidates and the Reid/Pelosi-run-Congress have promised to repeal the Bush tax cuts, retreat from teh War on Terror and increase the size of government through their one-size-fits-all health care plan.
Plan your counter-agruments (AKA, the truth) accordingly. OBTW - I decided to support the USPS by stuffing the entire contents of my latest Val-Pack mailing into their postage paid return envelope (2 1/4 oz).
************ Original Post *********************
It's hard to tell what going on at the Republican National Committee (RNC) on December 5, 2007. While Robert M. "Mike" Duncan (RNC Chairman) was hoping to create a profitable fundraising campaign, it appears that he missed the mark and has provided dedicated Democrats and Progressives with a good laugh.
Holiday parties around the country are likely producing the same experience as a recent gathering of mostly Democrats in Larimer County. We went around the room comparing who did, and did not, get Mike Duncan's plea for donations.
Be it amazing, perplexing or even pathetic, a large number of us had that letter at home, or had even brought it to the party as a conversation piece. There was an abundance of humor and criticism available after many eyes picked through this correspondence.
Item 1 – The letter was printed on two pieces of high quality letterhead paper (but not at taxpayer expense). This is despite the footnote on page one to “(Over, please)” and see a blank sheet of paper.
Item 2 – Send Money! There are at least eight(8) appearances of “send money,” “your contribution” or some other variation. The suggested dolling-out ranges from $250 to $25.
Item 3 – One big happy… There are at least 11 appearances of “our GOP,” “membership” or a variant in just those two pages. What an effort to a mailing list that appears to be thoroughly peppered with dedicated Democrats.
Item 4 – Thanks for the heads-up. But, perhaps most valuable is the early indication of GOP 2008 strategy. Some of the comments are indicators of smear campaigns, both new and old.
I’ve scanned this letter into Adobe PDF. So, just write to me by ProgressNow Action email and I’ll reply with an attached copy.
