Grassroots and the GOP?



Dear xxxxxxxxx , txt

You have a powerful new tool to grow our Party from the bottom up. It's a website built around you - with your personal message, your photos, links to your friends online, and the ability to set your personalized grassroots goals. The new MyGOP activist network will revolutionize online politics - and we're launching it with a bang on May 22, with a National House Party Day.

And when it's all over, the most successful house parties in America will receive a special thank you.

Here's how you can be a part of this exciting launch. First - set up your May 22 house party today. When you create your party, you'll also be able to set up your MyGOP site with grassroots goals tied to the party - whether it's grassroots fundraising for a Republican victory in November, recruiting volunteers, or registering new voters.

Get a head start on the competition by organizing your May 22 House Party now.

Make your party a friend - raiser simply by bringing friends and neighbors together. If you recruit at least one new volunteer, voter, or donor through your MyGOP - powered house party, you and your guests will be eligible to participate in a special conference call with Republican leaders on the evening of May 22.

As a special thank you, the hosts of the five MyGOP house parties that raise the most money for the Republican Party through MyGOP from 10 or more friends will receive a special Republican edition iPod Video*. To see what it looks like, click here.

The dollars you raise, the volunteers you recruit, and the voters you register will determine the outcome of this fall's elections - and the direction of our country for years to come. Your action on May 22 will make the difference, because victory comes down to three R's: Raise. Recruit. Register. And through your personal MyGOP site, you have the power to do all three - for everyone in the GOP.com online community to see.

May 22 is your chance to bring friends together, put us on the road to victory, and maybe even earn a very special thank you. Start your party now.

Sincerely,



Ken Mehlman
Chairman, Republican National Committee

Welcome to Hell...


Umm... I added the welcome to hell part.

Do we Democrats have anything like this? If not, why not--or should we?

5. sounds like a pyramid scheme to me...

"If you recruit at least one new volunteer, voter, or donor through your MyGOP - powered house party, you and your guests will be eligible to participate in a special conference call with Republican leaders on the evening of May 22."
"The dollars you raise, the volunteers you recruit, and the voters you register will determine the outcome of this fall's elections..."
