I just received an RNC contribution solicitation!
They start with Dear Mr. Bartz,

I don't want to believe you've abandoned the Republican party, but I have to ask...Have you given up?

on and on...

the go on to ask me to renew my membership in the RNC!
So, I took the application, took a "sharpie"marker and wrote across the top:
Impeach Bush. And on the bottom where the dollar amount is noted: Kiss my ass you murdering bastards.

Think they'll get the hint?

1. Pretty lame solicitation to join the Nazi party!
One would think that they would include a signed picture of
DAS FUHRER. You've got to close the sale you know.

:eyes:

3. Actually, the other day, we received a photo of the boy king and
his sanctified other, pickles.

My wife destroyed it before I could finish gagging.

4. I've been suggesting to folks who get these
...to look themselves up on Opensecrets.org to make sure someone isn't donating in their name. :shrug:

6. My fun with Reptilian Mail
Every now and then, I get mail from the Reptilian Party for some sick reason. I tear it to pieces and stuff it into the nice, postage-paid envelope they send. I then stick in a few more pieces of paper to make it heavier.

Remember, they have to pay for the return postage. If it is overweight, they pay more. I know I may only cost them 20 cents or so, but if everyone did it, it would add up.

Just my little way of pissing off the Forces of Darkness.

7. I received one of those...
with a picture of Shrub and wife.

I signed it "George W. Bush" complete with big, backwards letters like an 8 year old would and hung it on the fridge.

9. big backward letters?
From an 8-year old?

I'm pretty sure I didn't write my letters backward when I was 8. 4 maybe.

8. I received the same thing
never got one until I contributed to a political campaign (Dean) - so I think they're getting hold of lists of anybody who's contributed and using a shotgun approach...

10. I always return their reply envelope.
Sometimes it's empty, sometimes it's full. Last one - I stuffed GW's and Laura's picture into the reply. Next time I'm going to take out a sharpie and send a message like you did.

14. Now, I don't recommend this and I wouldn't try it myself but:
If they sent you a postage prepaid return envelope, a friend of mine stuffs them full of offensive (to some people) pictures, tapes the bulging package shut, and sticks it in the mail.

Like I say, don't try this at home. Not recommended. Only costs the recipient a postage fee. I don't think this is a good idea. I wish my friend wouldn't do that anymore. And I'm letting you know this is not a good idea, just in case you were thinking about trying it.
