Anyone else having this problem? Being harassed by the RNC

[ladywnch]

In the last few months I have begun to receive RNC mailings asking me to renew my membership in the Republican party. I have NEVER been a member of the republican party. I called the RNC headquarters in DC to have my name removed. Two weeks later I received a Republican Party Caucus survey. I was ready to send it back and then I thought this might be one of their tricks to have people removed from voter roles if they didn't respond. Now since the mailing had my maiden name on it I wasn't too worried although it did have a voter registration number listed along with my purported RNC membership number. The number didn't map to my married name registration but I did find it a bit odd that they should have access to that info. I finally threw the Caucus in the trash. I'll be dammed if not two days later I received mail asking if "I had given up on the RNC" and how they noticed I hadn't renewed my membership and how they needed me now more than ever...blah, blah, blah. I called the RNC again today to have my name removed. The first little witch I spoke with hung up on me. The second putz I spoke with told me it would take EIGHT WEEKS TO HAVE IT REMOVED!!!!!!! I asked who did their database administration, MICKEY MOUSE!!!!!!! I can get a magazine subscription in less time! They must have some "heckuvajob, Brownie" crony doing their DB administration because it should take, being generous....very generous, no more than 48 hours to remove a file. I have a hard time believing that if I was JOINING the RNC that it would take them 8 weeks to get me entered in the DB. Proof that the RNC is more like a cult; easy to get into, near impossible to leave!!!!

My next step (since I'm sure I will still receive mail after 8 weeks) will be to start burning the mail and sending the ashes back to them.

1. Contact Gregg Palast AND your local DA

This MIGHT be DOJ territory

2. My guess is, somebody surreptitiously changed your voter registration

to Republican. I'd be on the phone to your registrar of voters YESTERDAY to find out if that is the case, and if it is, contact your District Attorney's office.

3. It could be a ploy to knock your name off the list...

This may be a case of, "Well, just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get me..." but it's better to be safe then sorry. If you could keep the correspondence you get... stick it in a drawer until the General election so if your name is taken off the list... at least you have a starting point and proof that the RNC specifically targeted you. I'd call the day before registration ends for the General election and make sure you're still registered (document the call with names and times) then if everything goes okay... throw it in the trash come November 5th or better yet use it to clean up dog shit or... or shit on it yourself which is about all it's worth.

4. Hang onto that Republican registration!

Ya never know, it may keep you out of the relocation camp if McCain cheats his way into power in November.

5. If their return envelopes are business reply mail/postage paid....

Tape them to a brick wrapped in brown paper.

The post office WILL deliver it and they will be charged the parcel post rate for mailing a 3 pound brick.
