Trump Agenda Survey?

July 03, 2017, 03:47 PM

Allegedly from the RNC. Signed by Ronna McDaniel, Chairwoman.

Anybody else get one in the mail? Seems legit, but I'm skeptical of ANY political mail.

Reading through it, I come the the punchline: Send us money. Even if you don't want to contribute to the RNC they want you to send $15 to "cover processing".

I'm thinking phuquem, but I'm willing to listen to arguments for sending it in.

If it doesn't ask for too much personal information and has a postage-paid envelope, it couldn't hurt to fill it out and send it back, I suppose. But I usually shit-can political mailings without even opening them.

I get 1-3 e-mails every day from Team Trump, the Donald himself, Gingrich, Pence, somebody, wanting to make sure I knew I was a big shot, would I sign up to have dinner with the President on the 28th, could he count on me, etc.

It's all part of the deal he is the master of.

Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

If anything in life is certain, it is that any correspondence from any politician, political committee, or political advocacy group is solely about fundraising. They can dress it up however they want but they only reason they are contacting you is to get money from you.

And the necessary corollary: any response to a fund-raising letter or e-mail by any political group or politician will result in your contacts being sold to another political group. I keep telling my wife that, and she still reads the stuff.

The last few I received didn't have postage paid reply envelopes. They are tossed in the trash now.

I think someone, other than myself, has been sending them back with personal messages.

Could I be so lucky that they aren't going to send me any more?

That's what I thought. Filed accordingly.

When I get a letter from the RNC asking for money I reply that I will contribute when McCain is no longer in office!

Last one I got, I wrote on it that I wouldn't donate anything until they got behind Trump. Haven't heard anything since.
