Looking for help with a good response - Heritage Action

I cannot believe that I received a recruitment email from them.

I want to reply that they are doing just fine destroying the American Dream all by themselves (with the aid of Trump, his family, minions and a kowtowed Republican dominated Congress. While I am all in favor of saving the American Dream, Heritage Action is part of the problem. I prefer to be part of the solution.

p.s. That you are even contacting me shows how delusional your organization is.


What do you think?



This is what the email said:

Our federal government has become a smothering beast.

Government has become so big and invasive that it's killing the American dream. Many in government are not listening to you or me. They are ruling over us and "we the people" are suffering.

That is why Heritage Action was created: to hold Congress accountable to conservative solutions that will benefit all Americans.

And that is why I am reaching out to you to join Heritage Action for America for 2018.

When you join Heritage Action, you can take on the government and hold our elected leaders accountable. You can enable our 20,000 Sentinels and over 500,000 activists to apply pressure on Congress to not waver on conservative principles. You can win conservative victories that shrink the size of government and expand freedom for all Americans.

Join Heritage Action today >>

We need you for the rest of 2018, where the liberal Democrats in Congress are determined to undo all the positive, conservative reforms that President Trump and the Republican Congress have done to get government out of the way.

You can stop the liberal Democrats from giving amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants, stalling on confirming the rest of President Trump nominees, and wasting billions of tax dollars.

So, ______, will you join Heritage Action?

If you do, I'll even send you an exclusive and free Heritage Action umbrella.

You can accomplish so much for America and for conservatives when you join Heritage Action today.

Thank you for belief in America.

Thank you,

Pretend that you are a republican. Then blast them.

They could care less what “liberals” have to say.

is really required to run a society of our size, tech and economy.

Centralized gov't, like that of the USSR led to shortages, and corruption. Nothing about smaller gov't prevents that.

Centralized gov't does concentrate power in fewer and fewer, less balances and checks, less people to blow the whistle, easier to cover up.

The American dream is jingoistic fantasy of the right

What the American dream is really about for the right is that less regulation and laws allow the greedy and powerful to grift, scam, exploit, maim, poison, kill others for increased profit.
