Dear Friend Are you a Republican?

The letter, it turns out, is just a misleading pitch for a contribution to the RNC -- one of the "irregularities" cited in the letter is that "I cannot find a record of you taking a single action in support of the Republican Party -- not locally, not nationally!" A contribution, the letter suggests, would help set the record straight.

The letter is signed by Bill Steiner, the director of the RNC's Office of Strategic Information, a title Steiner assumed at the end of July. His responsibilities "include managing the RNC’s national voter file and Voter Vault, the committee’s highly touted micro-targeting operation," Roll Call reported last month. And indeed, the voter "audit" requests detailed information about the voter's voting history and current opinions on the 2008 presidential race.

It's unclear how many similar letters (tens of thousands? millions?) have been sent by the RNC. The RNC did not respond to our requests for comment.

3. Did it come with a post paid return envelope?

If so, I would take advantage of it and stuff it full of lots of heavy things and return it to them at their expense.

Naturally I would leave anything with my name and address off.


Better yet fill a box with heavy items and attach the envelope, then just drop it in the mail.

4. Nice try...

Attaching postage-paid envelopes to boxes doesn't fly -- the post office just throws them out.

9. I have taken boxes to the counter with

Postage Paid Envelopes attached and nothing was said to me, so I would just go ahead and do it anyway.
