| Today in the mail I received a very nice thank you letter for contributing to Jim Himes' campaign and a membership renewal letter from the RNC.
To all those who have fretted and theorized and worried and speculated about the all powerful RNC-based Republican databases that all link with their voter file (The Voter Vault)...fret no more.
How perplexing it was to get my mail today and find the third RNC fundraising solicitation in two months. I have also received two phone calls. I recently got a home phone for the first time in years, so I thought that maybe these solicitations may have something to do with that, but this last letter was especially odd.
It starts off, "I don't want to believe you've abandoned the Republican Party, but I have to ask...Have you given up?"
It goes on to state that I should renew my membership - renew...huh? I have been a registered Democrat since my 18th birthday and never contributed to a Republican anywhere for any office. Over the past two years I contributed to six Democratic party organizations and dozens of Democratic candidates at all levels in four different states - what gives?
Anyway...seems the illustrious Voter Vault has some flaws. So here are some highlights from the letter.
"There is so much at stake. The Democrats are determined to put a liberal like Hillary CLinton or Barack Obama in the White House, expand their narrow majorities in the US House and Senate, and push our country to the Left with their agenda of high taxes, big government and weakened national security."
OK - so they didn't call him Barack Husein Obama, they capitalized "Left" and we are clearly more vulnerable to national security threats since W's been in office.
Also, "Big Labor, radical liberal protest groups and Hollywood elites are planning to spend more than $500 million to defeat Republicans and aid the Democrat power grab."
OK - Big Labor (again withe the capitalization) a.k.a. the lowly workin' folk, radical liberal protest groups - I think that includes us MLNers, and they say "the Democrat power grab." cuz the "ic" at the end is just too...well icky.
And this is odd, "So if you have delayed in renewing your membership because you feel the RNC has let you down, or no longer needs you, please let me know. I want to hear from you. Just include your comments ad suggestions with the enclosed Membership Confirmation and return them with your 2008 membership renewal check."
So in order to let the RNC know if I have been let down, I need to send a membership renewal check? They desperately need a new fundraising letter writer.
