I received an email from Steve Scalise today

Friend, we're heading into an all-or-nothing showdown between President Trump and the Radical Left. The Democrats have scheduled a veto override on The Wall.

It's time for Conservatives to take a stand. Help me and President Trump save The Wall!

I have just extended a 5x-match for any contribution you make before midnight because you can give us the edge we need to build The Wall.

Our border situation is deteriorating by the moment and our agents protecting the border are being overwhelmed...

President Trump has done everything in his powers to get us this far -- but the Radical Left is relentless and our situation is desperate. That's why we're turning to you for help.

The future of The Wall is in your hands.

It's time for you to make a decision.


He lost me at 'friend'.

What this email shows me is these wingers are quite worried, especially with a 5:1 match with contributions for the day. I want this veto override even more now.

I don't know how his people got a hold of my email address but I immediately unsubscribed. I kept the email long enough to post this tripe but it has been deep 6ed to be with the 'Save 85% on ink and toner'. Sorry Stevie. You wasted enough of my bandwidth.

Wasn't he the R who was shot at the baseball game with the Democrats?

The shooting didn't change his mind about gun control.

The average person with the same wounds might not have survived

Basically he's just using scare tactics to get money for his reelection.
