Marco Rubio sent me a letter today! He's worried about losing Florida. Have a look:

PEGGY,

This is difficult for me to write.

I just can’t believe that there is more support for a Trump Impeachment Manager than for a strong Conservative leader.

Even after extending my Mid-Month deadline, we are still not on track to reach our goal. To be honest, we are about 3,000 donations behind our target.

My entire team is calling, texting, emailing and writing as many patriots as possible in an effort to activate 3,000 donors in the next 48 hours, but I’m afraid it won’t be enough.

PEGGY, these goals aren’t arbitrary. These are REAL goals and REAL numbers that we REALLY need to hit in order to have a shot at competing with the Democratic movement in Florida.

I’m pleading with you, even if it is $8…will you donate today? Maybe people think they need to write huge checks in order to make a difference but that’s just not true. I need people who can donate $8, $10, $12.55 or even $17 TODAY in order to reach my goal.

I know you hear from my team and me a lot, but this is critical. We are on the brink of losing Trump’s home state to someone who votes with the Socialist Squad 94% of the time. I hope you understand how deeply concerning that is.

Here is a special link my team put together for you. I hope to see your name on the donor list:

With urgency,
Marco

Told me unless I send money to the DNCC, the R's are going to lose Virginia.
Also got text pleas for money from Kamala and her husband.
Normal fund raising activities conducted by both parties.

on the letter...list the criminality of the GOP, that should do it.

If you think fear and panic work, well there are a lot of factual stories to be told about what the GOP is trying to do to the USA, scare the hell out of people because THEY SHOULD BE SCARED!

$9.48, or $7.50, and especially those donating $562.03! We don't give them a second look!

On a different note, I do look forward to the new children's animated cartoon series, the Socialist Squad.

One wonders if inmates are funneling the envelopes to dopes across the nation to drop a dime on their upcoming elections.
