I got a "signed" 8x10 "photo" of Bush* and Pickles!
It says at the bottom:
To: **** and ******* **********, Thank you for your early committment and dedication as a Charter Member of the campaign in Virginia. Grassroots leaders like you are the key to building a winning team.

Best Wishes, Laura Bush (signature) George Bush (signature)

:wtf:

What a hoot! I can't help but wonder if one of my rethug family members sent a donation in my name? If I can get my scanner working I'll post it for you captioning pleasure

5. I got the same card too -- yuck
and I can't figure out why I was targeted. At first I thought it was because I'm a physician, but in my hospital, only one other doctor got one. And the two of us are by far the most outspoken liberals here. So the card is hanging appropriately defaced on the fridge.

15. See if it works!
Just say, "I don't know what you think I gave you, but whatever it is, I want it back." Or write "one-termer" in big letters in marker on the picture and send it back.

16. contact the fec

17. Here's the pic
Edited on Fri Feb-27-04 05:29 PM by pintobean
My daughter brought it home from school. It looks like she got some of a cupcake on it. I didn't recognize the persons name, but I removed it.



Edit: That wasn't cupcake, the ink is comming off. It's all over my scanner glass. You'd think, with $150 million, they could afford a decent printing company.

20. I got one for the national campaign - I've displayed it ironically
A stupid little picture of the Criminal In Chief and his "wife" all outdoorsy and folksy.

Stupid weasel pud.

23. We got one too
Addressed to my husband (not to me, thank goodness) along with a totally smarmy letter which I plan to use in the cats' litter box. I don't know what he did with the picture - I want to find it and figure out a way to laminate it to the bottom of the toilet bowl. A great incentive to eat lots and LOTS of fiber! (I do wonder where they got their mailing list - very odd that so many of us have gotten this crap.)

27. Do you think that's true?
Making donations in our names?

Seriously? If you really and truly think there's a factual basis for making that claim, that's some serious shit, far more serious than Gore making a few calls from the White House, that's for sure. I mean, utterly totally significant.

30. yes I do, this is very easily a way to avoid the limits and as you said ,
totally significant. This the second post on this issue, someone earlier this week got a letter from bush thanking them for their donation and they had not sent in a donation, just like this poster they thought it was funny but I think its insidious

28. The GOP just sucks at fact checking...
They must have the same name as some wingnut in their state that did donate.

If they had the same name as a felon, they's be removed from voter rolls.

If they had oil, they be be hunted down over non-existant WMD.

The bloated, self-important a-holes can't be bothered to get things correct, whatever they do is "Right" by definition and besides guhAWHuhDAH's might will take care of it.

29. My dad got one of these too!
And as a registered Democrat of 40 years or so, he was as stunned by it as any of you.

It sounds like there's a real election-funding scam involved here. If I get one of these I'm sending it to the Federal Election Commission.
