Yesterday, I received an email from my sister in Minnesota detailing how she "donated" to the McCain campaign. I thought it made a lot of sense to do this type of donation and therefore wanted to share it with all of you. Keep in mind that if you decide to donate, it requires a little time and effort but I think you will agree with me that it could have the right type of effect on the Republican who opens the "donation" envelope.
The email from my sister...
About three weeks ago, I got a solicitation from the Republican Party, asking for money for McCain! (It was addressed to my email address name and not my real name, so it must have been from some Internet spammer that culled my email address.) Anyway, the solicitation went on and on about how much money Obama was raising, and that they needed my help to keep him from winning in November. They enclosed two stamped, self-addressed envelopes so that I could "send $100 now, and then another $100 in September"!!! I was going to throw the whole thing away, but then decided I'd make them spend the postage-due money. So I wrote the attached note, and mailed it in both envelopes.
Enjoy!
And this was her donation to their cause in the form of a Letter.
To whom it may concern:
I have never voted Republican in my entire life, and never will. Do NOT sully my mailbox and my home with a solicitation for money. The only correspondence I would ever accept from the Republican Party is an apology to the American people for the systematic ruining of America. These last eight years were unconscionable:
• The thousands of Americans killed in Iraq, sent there by a lying President for the purpose of enriching private contractors, make this Administration liable for treason. Impeachment is too good for Bush & Co.
• This Republican Administration has put the entire nation’s tax burden on middle-class Americans, and let the sleazy-rich buddies who bought Bush the presidency net even more billions in tax breaks. As a result, this country is further in debt than any time in our history. And your solution? More tax breaks for the wealthy!
• The scandals of several Republican Congressmen and Administration appointees prove that your claims of "family values" are lies. Are you proud of your religious right-wingers who preach against homosexuality and pocket money from the collection plate to "rid the world of this abomination", then get caught engaging in homosexual acts?
• You call yourselves "pro-life", yet ignore the poor and sick who die because they can’t afford food, let alone health care. Your chauvinism and arrogance is so huge that you actually believe that no woman can choose to manage her own body and reproductive system. If obeying your tyranny means unhealthy and unwanted births, why that’s our problem! Your hypocrisy is criminal.
Sending soldiers to death, financially ruining the average American (now and for generations to come), and spreading hypocrisy and lies: that describes the Republican Party. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

I think the McCain campaign needs to hear this type of "Straight Talk" every day so they finally will get it why their Party is going to be voted out of office in huge numbers in every part of this country.
