Ken Mehlman's e-mail to me

[TheFarseer]

*disclaimer* I have no idea how they got my e-mail or why they think I supported them. I most certainly did not. I thought some of you might be interested in what they are mailing the chimp fan club members. Sorry it's a bit long mods :(

Last year, when I served as President Bush's re-election campaign manager, you were an essential part of our historic effort. Today, as chairman of the Republican National Committee, I would like to welcome you back to our team with this email.

Our victory in 2004 was historic in many ways. Not only did we help the President win more votes than any other candidate in history, and increase our majorities in the U.S. House and Senate, but we did so through an unprecedented grassroots campaign that depended on the widespread use of email and the Internet.

Through these new technologies, we worked hard to keep you up to date on the progress of the campaign, and the important issues that the President and the Republican Party were addressing. We also used email and the Web to give supporters like you opportunities to get involved, whether by communicating with us to help shape strategy and tactics, by volunteering to help the grassroots effort in your local community, or simply by passing the word along to your friends and neighbors.

Now, at the RNC, we are committed to continuing our groundbreaking use of new technology, and I hope you will join us. In July, we were proud to unveil our completely redesigned Website. We have launched a brand new eCampaign that will, in the coming weeks and months, use email to keep loyal supporters like you fully informed as to how we are working to enact the President's reform agenda and maintain our majorities in the House and Senate and in the states, and what you can do to become more involved in your community.

I hope you find these emails useful. Now more than ever, it is important that Republicans across the country keep fully informed and involved with the important issues that we face as a Party and as a nation. We will fight to ensure confirmation of the President's judicial nominees such as Judge John G. Roberts, who last week answered questions from the Senate Judiciary Committee with humility, humor and thoughtfulness. He showed once again that he is an extremely well-qualified candidate with a sharp legal mind. We will continue to support the war on terror. We will be preparing for important elections in 2005 and 2006. And, we will work to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina rebuild their lives as the reconstruction effort begins in the Gulf Coast.

You are a part of our team. We want you to know what our plans and goals are. We also would like your help in achieving these goals. As we email you, please don't hesitate to email back to let us know what your views are on these important issues. And I hope that you will join us in the party-building activities that we will be informing you about within these regular email updates.

If you would prefer not to receive these emails, I understand. But I hope you will consider remaining a part of the Republican online community. We depend on people like you to keep the Republican Party strong. And with your participation, we will continue our strong record of success and accomplishment.


Sincerely,

Ken Mehlman
Chairman, RNC

1. I get them too...

I actually signed up to receive them, know thy enemy and all. I signed up through the GOP's Latino outreach program where I had the option to choose between manual labor, farm work and other as my occupation. It's fun to be talked to like a retarded stepchild every now and then, it really gives you an idea of how simple their minds really are.

2. That's priceless

I suppose for the "black outreach program" they had pro athlete, chauffeur, and other

3. Oh My Goodness! I got this too and wondered how in the world they ever got

my info. I have donated to many Dem candidates and orgs so I get e-mail from them all the time. Granted, Mehlman's e-mail went into my spam folder because I use spam blocker, but it was addressed to my e-mail account.

I wonder if some company accidentally (or on purpose?) sold them the names of political donors for the wrong party! LMAO!!! That would be too funny. :rofl:

Glad to know I wasn't the only one. I was worried I had made it onto a repuke list. Hope they actually call me!!! That will be a fun phone call!

4. I get them from Katherine Harris

and I always reply the same thing:

the only donation I'd give her is for a broomstick to fly off on
