4. Republican joke

You can't be serious. The DNC is still collecting funds - they're not giving away money nor is that legal.

[Sal Minella]

7. "Ensure to forward this message with the very email you received it."

Neither Democrats nor Republicans talk like this.

Not even Sarah Palin or DimSon. This is a scam from friends abroad, imnsho.

Where is the other $10 million going?
