1. Legal or not

I can't imagine people getting this junk and NOT being pissed-off about it. These stupid gimmicks emphasize just how out-of-touch they are - utterly oblivious to the way most people think and act. I bet that even moderate Republicans (or at least those who haven't gone 'round-the-bend batshit loony-toony) aren't too pleased with horseshit like this.

2. Per Michelle Bachmann - do not answer them

Always amazed that when you think the GOOPERS have reached a childish low they have another one in them.

3. The funny thing is they sent one to the 8th Congressional District Chair for the Democratic Party of

Georgia!

It's on his wife's blog (also any GA people - check out Amy's blog, it is a great source for GA info!):

What? Dem Invited to "Lead Republicans in Georgia"
My husband, who is the 8th Congressional District Chair for the Democratic Party of Georgia, has been getting some interesting mail. This mailer from the RNC came just yesterday and is made to look like an official census document. Pretty deceptive, if you ask me. But, the funny part of this is the pitch-the Republican Party would like Daryl to "lead Republicans in the 8th Congressional District." What a hoot! I wonder where the RNC is getting their lists these days, but do appreciate them wasting their donor's money this way. Here's the mailer:

4. I get all kinds of marketing shit that looks like gov't docs or other official correspondence.

I've never understood why marketers think it's a good idea to piss people off.
