9. With all the money we'd raise from the bake sale

3. Cool... Why can't I ever get RNC mailings?

I've been itching to send them back a brick. I did convince my father to send them back their stuff after he received a second mailing from them. He wrote on it "I used to be a Republican, but I would never vote for Bush."

6. a repuke lady called our my husband (who's registered green)

inviting us to a fundraising dinner with the president .

The only thing I can think of is that we just started
our own business . :shrug:

I told her that we weren't interested as we were not
voting for bush .

8. I can't figure out why Hubby's name was on it

he isn't listed on the business, and hasn't been registered repub in years

especially strange as his job was outsourced after 16 years with a hi tech company.

7. ROFL

I wish I could recive one just so I could do something similar. Unfortunately I'm not on any of their lists, except for their blacklist, maybe.

10. My dad also got something from Bush the first ...

just a few weeks ago ... it was something for support. My dad is NOT a repug, but lives in MT, which is repug country and just happens to be the state Racicot (sp?) was governor of for quite a bit. Coincidence???? I think not.

13. Being a registered voter makes you open game

also i think the gop likes screwing with people. You should see the stuff i get from the loon running against Barbara Boxer.

11. Here's a weird thing...

Stories like this always remind me of it, so I thought I'd share.

I once got an invitation to a Republican fundraiser in our county. Reagan's name was all over it, implying that the event would benefit him. Two of my friends got the same thing. We were all very confused by it because we were 14.

These weren't addressed to "Occupant" or "Mr. Biv," implying head of the household. They were addressed to me, and my friends, personally, first and last name, and none of us had names similar to our parents. In one case, the girl who received the invite actually had a different first and last name than her parents since her mother had taken her step-father's last name while she hadn't. And, all our parents were ardent Democrats anyway.

Obviously there was a mistake somewhere, but it was a rather odd one. How did we get on this list? I still don't know.

My grandmother advised me to write them a letter telling them what I thought of the Republican party, which I did. This turned out to be a fond memory of my teenage years as it became a group competition to write the best complaint letter we could.

12. think they are just flailing wildly trying to drum up support??

But I just got a thought, hubby is on the mailing lists of 3 different race tracks that have NASCAR

maybe that's the connection?

[VOX]

15. Great story!!!

thanks -- :toast:

[Lisa]

14. was this one of those infamous "hotdog" dinners?

Or the type where you can't even eat the rubber chicken because the caterers nixed the cutlery at the last minute, due to * being so sensitive about the clattering noises when he's giving a speech?

Good response, AZDem!

[Don_G]

16. I Would Have

Put the Kerry sticker on a piece of 1/8" steel plate and mailed it in. I'm sure repairs on their automatic letter-openers will cost a little change.

17. Go! Wear a "Worst President Ever" t-shirt.

Time how long it takes for them to ask you to leave.

But who has $2500 for a chicken dinner with no utensils anyway?

[NMDemDist2]

18. arghhhhhh I would suffocate in the fetid air there I just know it eom
