1. You mean this thread?
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=203x284769


I know I sent Ken some love letters. I live 2 miles from that address and feel like
I should stop in and say "hi" but I will continue to write him.

:bounce:

20. 63 so far and I think of this as my new hobby.
Botany, since you live nearby, have you seen any "Bush Cheated" signs or stickers in the office vicinity?

4. You don't mean this do you?
From Ohioans for Kerry Yahoo list:

My hometown "home boy" Ken Blackwell is running for Governor

He is asking for donations it would be a shame if he got a bunch of "empty envelopes." That would tie up a lot of time and help suppress his candidacy. I would feel awful about it. Now, PLEASE do not pass this address around the internet to pissed off people. I beg you, do not do that.

Ohioans For Ken Blackwell
ATTN: Ken Blackwell
829 Bethel Rd., Suite 316
Columbus, Ohio 43214


Shame on all those people for kicking the thread!

3. I sent him a dollar.
A Deception Dollar, that is.

Thought he could have it as a souvenier as he leaves public office shortly.

10. Correct, he might get a second round of contributions.
That would be horrible if once a month the campaign staff was inconvenienced with opening a boatload of anonymous donations. You know the documentation trail for that is really a big deal, especially if people were to somehow track how much was sent in a way admissable in Court. It would be just awful for his campaign if the numbers his campaign reported was less than the anonymous contributions that by law are required to be donated to charity. Even if those donations were earmarked for "The Sedition Slush Fund!"

The Humanity, The Humanity. God save us from those that would perform that sort of mischief!

Don't do it people, don't kick this thread, don't send the mail, it's just WRONG.

17. Any Senator who just voted for Gonzales will need a 'legal defense fund'..
....so, how about checks for $ 0.01 and a note indicating that since they've just aided and abetted a war criminal, we wanted to be the first to contribute to ensure they have the best legal defense money can buy :evilgrin:

Peace.

23. My daughter and I copied and cut out
(with fancy zig-zaggy scissors, mind you)

many dozen "Get out of Jail Free" cards and sent them off over the course of several days.

It made us giggle - sort of like TPing someones house, or being unable to not burst into laughter at a bad toupee.

Ahhhhh... those sweet mother/daughter moments.

26. Now, I'm not sayin' I did this -- but I saw myself taking about
25 empty envelopes at a time, addressing them to Bl*ckwell and then writing on the inside of the envelope in bold letters:

CONFESS YOUR SINS!!!

Now, good Catholic girl that I am, of course, I would never do this, but I sure am thinkin' alot about it!

28. I saw my very smart and politically active German
Shepherd addressing and sending one out last month. She had to ask me for a stamp (mooch).

Perhaps the cat will send one this time...
