Scott Walker must be desperate.

I just received a fundraising letter from him. Me...lifelong Democrat living in New Hampshire. It began with "Dear Fellow Conservative."

He basically says that if I don't send him $$$ the whole country is going to hell in a handbasket.

envelope has "No postage necessary if mailed in the US" on the stamp side and then the following on the return address side"Your first class stamp saves valuable campaign funds. Thank You!"

Does that make sense?

I'm guessing that they'll pay postage if you send without, but they're asking you to save them the money by putting a stamp on it instead.

So ship it stampless. Let them pay for it!

In fact, I think you can affix the envelope to the top of a box. Then fill the box with bricks. They end up paying a good bit more than first-class-letter. Every little bit hurts!

Taping the envelope to something large or stuffing it with heavy stuff just gets it thrown out by the Post Office - the weight is high.

Putting in a few sheets of blank paper or other junk mail will get it delivered.

The weight doesn't exceed the postage paid.

AMF!

"A" stands for adios. "MF" doesn't stand for my friend.

Oddly enough, I want to say the same thing up here in Maine to paul lepage.

PEACE!

Does anyone think this sounds inappropriate for the party of states' rights?

I don't know what map they're using, but my US map shows WI pretty fucking far away from NH. I suspect this is going out nationwide. Walker really is a creepy little coward, isn't he?

I thought they sure have a lousy system identifying potential donors. The worst was the robo call I got from Dick Morris asking me to fight against Obamacare. There was an option to hold on and speak to an operator to make a contribution so I did so I could have the pleasure of telling the person that Dick Morris was an idiot. They hung on up me immediately.

Aside from getting tossed in jail, a lot of innocent folks in the building would be disrupted and scared. Plain old dirt.
