I got my 2nd fundraising letter from Mc5PLANES and it sounds desperate!1
Edited on Sat Oct-04-08 10:07 AM by UTUSN
Both of them contained an postage paid envelop saying, "By using your own first class stamp to return this envelope, you will be helping us save much needed funds. -- Thank you."

In the first one I sent a nasty note about what a further Shrub disaster a Mc5PLANES victory would be. It was unsigned, but apparently the envelops have an identity code.

So they actually spent more moohlah on this glossy photo with "Do not bend: Photograph enclosed" on the outside. It was bent. There was a return receipt inside, actually offering to send a replacement if it was bent.

I'm sending the postage paid envelop back empty. There is a signature required on the return receipt and I was paranoid that somebody would check off a donation amount.

I've torn up the pic in voodoo pieces and put it in the recycling stack.

As we head into the final, most intense weeks of the 2008 elections, nothing is more important than for us to raise the funds we need to carry out our winning strategy in districts and states all across the country. Your help is urgently needed now to ensure that we can effectively compete with the Obama Democrats' massive fundraising machine as we battle for every single vote.

Right now, RNC Victory 2008 needs an additional $22.5 million to fully pay for our "on-the-ground" Get-Out-The-Vote efforts. ....

That is why I have forwarded the enclosed personalized photo taken at the (Rethug) National Convention a few weeks ago. ....

And with Election Day just 45 days away, I sincerely hope you will answer this letter by forwarding an immediate emergency contribution of $5,000 (etc.) ....

Victory 2008's ability to raise $22.5 million by October 17th will have a huge impact on whether or not we win on November 4th. Today, we are very much counting on your support. ....

2. I thought campaign donations were limited to $2300.00
How can he even ask for $5000?
