RNC wants me to wish Numb Nuts a Happy Birthday...

[Contrary1]

by sending money to them.

Dear ______,

Please help the Republican National Committee celebrate a very special birthday on July 6th.
Join Republicans from across the country in wishing President Bush a Happy Birthday by adding your name to the RNC's e-card. As one of our Party's strongest supporters, I know the President will be delighted to receive your warm thoughts and kind words on his birthday.

And if you can, I hope you will take this opportunity to commemorate President Bush's 59th birthday with a gift our entire Party can share. Your secure online gift of $59 or whatever you can afford -- $25, $50 or even $100 -- will help the RNC provide the resources needed to fully enact the President's agenda and keep our Party moving forward.

I look forward to adding your name to the RNC's Birthday e-card to President Bush. And thank you for your continued support of our President, Party and cause.

Best Wishes,
Ken Mehlman
RNC Chairman

P.S. In order for your name to be included on the RNC's birthday e-card to President Bush, I need to hear from you by June 30th . Please click here to sign President Bush's birthday card and make a secure online gift our entire Party can share. Thank you.

I tried to send a heartfelt Happy Birthday to Shrub, without a donation, and this is what I got:

1. we should all send him a birthday card

and sign it with the name of one of the American soldiers that he's killed in Iraq

5. You know, that's really not a bad idea. Is that against the law or

against plain principles? I'm thinking of the families, of course. I wouldn't want to upset them any more than they already are.

[Clark2008]

10. True... true...

But the names of the dead are public record, so there's no law against it.

And, if one didn't "sign" the card, but typed it... then it wouldn't be like anyone was morally perpetrating a fraud.

This is a good idea.

2. I was born July 7th

Scary huh? But for the grace of god go I lol

[JohnnyRingo]

9. And mine's on the 8th....Kinda spoils it for me just a little

I think it's amusing that the RNC is using his birthday as a fundraiser, though. I've never seen that done before.

I'll raise a glass to his ultimate unseating that week though.

[Booster]

11. My birthday is November 22 - really ruins it for me.

[Lowell]

22. Mine's on the 8th too

and the same year. If it fell on the 6th I would seriously consider changing it.

[davidinalameda]

27. I've seen it done with others

I think the DNC did it for Clinton

[jobycom]

3. A bag of pretzels and a case of Bud should make him happy

[orleans]

4. hee hee hee hee hee

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[prodigal_green]

7. oh man

you are SO on the FBI, er, I mean Heimatstadtland Sekuritat's list now.

[jobycom]

8. Hey! I backed off the comment about the bordertown hookers!

Give me some credit!

[iamjoy]

6. Here Is An Idea

Donate the money to your favorite liberal cause in Dubya's name, making sure they will send him an acknowledgment.

I am trying to decide on one that is the most worthy and that he likes the least:

* Human Rights Campaign (GLBT Issues)
* Amnesty International
* A reproductive rights group (Planned Parenthood, NOW, NARAL, etc)
* An environmental organization (Sierra Club, NRDC, etc)
* ACLU
* MoveOn.org
* Democratic National Committee (bit of irony here)

[Booster]

12. But when you donate money in someone else's name to a charity,

who gets the rightoff on taxes? If it's the dimson, he would be pleased as punch we all did this.

[ellenfl]

13. then it needs to be political because

that donation cannot be written off. d*mn, i'll have to find a worthy political concern to donate to. excellent idea.

why do the repugs send this stuff to people who are not registered republicans? my so got a nice 8x10 glossy of shrub and pickles and he's not registered at all!

does this mean the repug flow of money is drying up?

ellen fl

[WildClarySage]

14. My birthday is also on the 6th, proof that the day wasn't a total loss

how about sending a donation to Moveon.org in *'s (and my) honor?

[iamjoy]

20. The Donor Gets The Right Off (I Think)

Is there an accounant or tax advisor in the house?

[ellenfl]

21. when i have donated to political sites on the 'net

they tell me that my donation cannot be written off.

ellen fl

[iamjoy]

23. Because Those Donations Are Not Tax Deductible

But if you give to a tax deductible charity in some one else's name, I believe you still get the write off

[ellenfl]

26. exactly . . . so donate to the dnc in shrub's name. eom

[Nikki Stone 1]

15. Hey, I thought it was the thought that counts!

All this materialistic asking for money. Isn't it enough that we're gonna offer a few prayers on our knees for the guy? I'll bet Jesus wouldn't have asked for cold hard cash.

O8) O8) O8)




:evilgrin:

[graywarrior]

16. I was hatched out of a shell yup yup yup

[bumblebee1]

17. Here's an alternative

If you don't want to wish the moron a happy Birthday on July 6, you can always wish me a happy birthday.

[union_maid]

18. Donate for George!

I think the donations are a great idea. It could be to the DNC or to your favorite congressional candidate for 2006. Either is political. I think I'm going to donate to the DNC and include maybe a little note that says, "Give 'em hell, Howard!" in honor of shrub's birthday. Yep...that's the ticket.

[ebayfool]

19. I like the idea of donating to Dean for the dickweed's b-day!

Is there any way to make sure that the white house gets a notification (thanky) for it?

[Kittycat]

24. He has shammed my birthday..

:cry:

[demo dutch]

25. No gifts please? but a donation to any DNC candidate in honor of W's bday!

[dchill]

28. Happy Birthday, asshole -

Here, have a pretzel.
