Before I knew who sent it, I was excited. Now, well, you can imagine. Funny thing, though, they apparently want at least $15.00 for the honor of answering their questions. Seriously, no bullshit!
In the envelope is a four-page letter and an oversized, two-sided questionnaire. I skimmed the letter and read through the questions. Wow! Just wow!
I certainly don't see the sense in sending them any money, but considered answering the questions and sending it in without money except, I'm looking for a job, and this has my name printed on it which coincides with some sort of registration code number, and requires a signature.
I live in deep red, rural, southeast Texas. No way in hell can I let out my little secret to potential employers. Hell, I was afraid to put a Wendy Davis sticker on my car because I feared vandalism. I did, however, proudly display a yard sign from the very first day I was able to.
Here are some excerpts from the letter (all emphasis original but my comments are in italics):
"But winning at the national level in 2016 is going to be much more difficult. That is why it is vital that we begin immediately to expand our state-of-the-art grassroots organizations and collect and update our information on voters in every district."
Are they talking about the Koch-funded grassroots organizations?
"So please, act now to complete your 2015 CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT CENSUS and do your best to get it back to me at RNC headquarters by June 19th."
Could that date have POSSIBLY been a coincidence? I have my doubts!
This next doozy is where I stopped reading (until I wrote this diary). ANGER & BARF BUCKET TRIGGER WARNING as it is most disgusting and gag-worthy!
"I'm making this special appeal for your financial help because it is absolutely critical that we have the funds it will take to fight back against the Democrats and elect a Republican President who can work to reverse the damage that Barack Obama has done to our nation and the world."
Sigh. . . Seriously? President Obama has damaged our nation and the world? Wow!
Now, some sample questions:
"From what media source do you regularly receive your political news? (You can mark more than one)"
Yes, FOX News is a choice. So is CNN/MSNBC, NBC/CBS/ABC, Social Network, Internet Blogs, Radio, and more.
"Do you believe the Republican Party should continue to embrace social issues or are these too divisive when it comes to winning elections?"
"Embrace" LMAO, um, sorry.
"Please register your opinion on the following social issues
Key: 1 = SUPPORT, 2 = OPPOSE, 3 = NO OPINION
_School prayer
__Ban burning of the flag
__Ban human cloning
__Ban all abortions
__Other______
__Faith based initiatives
__Fight against same sex marriage
__Ban Federal funds for birth control
__Ban Federal funds for abortions"
I need a barf bucket and a toothbrush! So much hate. :(
"Are race relations in America today getting better or worse?"
"Should Republicans in Congress stand firm against actions by the Obama White House to bypass Congressional votes and enact new regulations, fees, and other freedom-destroying measures via unilateral Executive Orders?"
"With revelations of "Fast and Furious," IRS abuses, the Benghazi cover-up, and other major scandals in recent years, do you feel Republican lawmakers on Capitol Hill have the right to hold government bureaucrats' feet to the fire and demand more transparency from the Obama administration?"
"Should the federal government open up more federal lands to energy development in order to further foster America's energy independence?"
"Do you feel that actions by the Obama Administration in recent years have seriously eroded America's individual freedoms?"
"Should America take military action if necessary to keep Iran and North Korea from obtaining nuclear weapons?"
"Fundamentally, do you feel the U.S. should play a major leadership role in the world, or do you feel we should concern ourselves only with matters of immediate national interest?"
There is more, much more in the letter bashing Obama and us. I just can't type any more of the drivel.
I seriously need a drink now! :(
