I just recieved my 2013 Republican Platform survey form in the mail. In full disclosure I was a republican for 30 years but Bush Sr cured me. According to the cover letter I was chosen to represent my district . The survey states OFFICIAL REPUBLICAN PARTY DOCUMENT- DO NOT DESTROY. I would never do such a thing, But it doesn`t say do not disseminate.
The questions are leading and very biased such as,

[x ] Yes [ ] No
Investigating Obama Administration blunders such as the funding of Solyndra, the "Fast and Furious" guns to Mexico debacle and the killing of our Ambassador in Libya

This is a sampling of the 33 questions asked of me by the Party ,the rest is fundraising stuff and 3 lines for comments. I had to write really small to get the most in, but since I`m not sending any money they probably will not read it.
This is supposed to be mailed back within 7 days.Not yet sure if I will send it.
