What Scott Walker wrote to my deceased mother-in-law

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/02/01/1060569/-What-Scott-Walker-wrote-to-my-deceased-mother-in-law

The envelope is hard to miss, with its red, white and blue USA stamp and then, in the return address corner, these bold red letters: URGENT RECALL ELECTION. Inside is a letter with "Governor Scott Walker" written in large type on the top left. The letter is addressed to my mother-in-law, who died at age 88 last year from Alzheimer's disease. She was a lifelong Illinois resident who last donated to Republican causes at least 10 years ago, yet somehow she remains in the database for those seeking to fund conservative causes.

"I'm proud of your conservative leadership," Scott Walker tells her. "The President's Chicago Political Machine and vengeful, power-consumed Big Government Union Bosses have put a bull's eye on my back...I urgently need your help to win."

To save the republic from an Obama second term that would "devastate our economy," Walker pleads with my dead mother-in-law to give $50, $250, $2,500 or more.

Condolences.

Alzheimers runs in my family and I am scared. Am trying to eat more Indian food, as science thinks there's a link between Indian spices (esp. turmeric) and low incidence of the disease. Tell your spouse!

I'd go for the highest amount he requested. Don't be stingy.
