Look what I just received! I am sooo honored...LOL..

I signed up with them to get their notices and see what they are up to. This is my reward..

Friend,

We’ve been poring over records this week, and your name stood out.

You’ve established one heck of a record of support for conservative causes. So strong, in fact, that we want to offer you a customized certificate to recognize your support.

We ask for a donation of $50 to help us cover the cost of printing and shipping these majestic certificates – they’re customized and printed on heavy parchment, with colorfast ink, and suitable for framing.

These certificates are sure to be a keepsake well after the conclusion of this year’s midterms, a permanent record of your support for the conservative vision and the politicians that strive for it.

We hope you’ll take part.

Thanks,

Senate Republicans

I'll print one up for you on the same crap stock in the same "colorfast ink" (toner) for $5. That includes shipping. For an extra HELL YEAH! I'll even superimpose a bullseye in patriotic red.

Because there WILL be many many more.

Apparently they are used to the less than average IQ sheep in their flock.

my butt so they can kiss the fattest part of it. Do you suppose that would suffice in lieu of the $50?

I sent $5.29 to the RNC. Since then they probably spent 50 buck worth of propaganda. And I always send back the response envelope with other junk mail in it. Just my way of costing them money.

There are worthless tourist replicas of Confederate money all over the place. They must cost maybe $1.95 for 50 replicas of whatever denomination. They need to get envelopes with Confederate "cash" coming their way. Someone there will be bright enough to get the message (although most of them will be running to the nearest bank to find out today's latest exchange rate....).
