I, for one, was insulted

I think I can see why the Republicans are in trouble. I was insulted by the piece I got in the mail yesterday. Very official looking envelope.

2009 OBAMA AGENDA SURVEY
REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE

Ohio 12th Congressional District ..... Dooley Household
QUESTIONNAIRE ENCLOSED FOR and then my full name, Joseph Bradford Dooley, and address ..... DO NOT DESTROY

I was impressed:

Your immediate action is required.
"As Chairman of the RNC I am sending out this questionnaire to gauge where you and other grassroots stand," etc., "I need to hear back from you right away".

DO NOT DESTROY

A BIG LONG ID Number ... and ..... it is "REGISTERED in my name and affixed with a tracking code to ensure that it is accounted for in the tabulated results."

And then, 15 stupid questions.

But then, the bottom 1/2 of the back page ..... Contribution Reply ....
Credit card number ...... amount to donate ..... Occupation ..... Employer ...... Email address .... Telephone number ................. very official.

Question 1
Do you agree with Barrack Obama's budget plan that will lead to a $23 trillion deficit over the next ten years? YES NO NO OPINION

Should English be the official language of the United States?

If the RNC thought I was going to fall for their tactics to get me to donate, they were wrong.

AND if I mailed it back, I had to pay the postage. I got one similar to it, recently, only they wanted me to buy "Maintenance Insurance" for my car.

If that is the mentality of the RNC in Washington, the party REALLY does have a problem, and the RNC has an even greater problem if they get many of them back.

AO9PQ003A 584779875 is my ID number.

I used my old Captain Midnight Decoder Badge to translate the ID number.

It translated to: DON'T READ SEND MONEY

And they wonder why they lost the election and the party isn't stronger.
