It’s a perfect Television/headache storm! It’s a convergence of the mid-term elections, the beginning of the holiday season ads and a huge number of ‘beg letters’ from the charities who bought our name because of the one and a half inch snail darter we saved from the Tellico Dam on the Little Tennessee River in 1973. Let’s not mention robo-calls.
Today that snail darter is dead but not so the virtual tons of mail we receive daily since our name and address has been passed around more than a joint at a Colorado cannabis festival.
Above and beyond the snail mail, I received an email from a very important elected representative which makes the term ‘Spam’ insignificant.
It wasn’t even from my district. Seems they’ve got nothing better to do than solicit me. Pelosi, Reich, Obama, Clinton (both of them) and every weenie from Washington DC wants me personally to save them and the entire Democratic party from a scourge of PAC money being printed in the basement of the Koch brothers headquarters somewhere in a bunker outside of Wichita and passed along to the likes of Louie Gohmert, Ted Cruz and anyone who denounces good government.
Apparently Koch brothers industries don’t know what to do with the money they earn from paper towels, tissues and toilet paper.
This largesse, the email said, will not only help to wrest control of the government from ‘those truthfull politicians’ but purge the word ‘democratic’ from the dictionary. If I would only donate $5, I could save the civilized world from destruction. How about diverting the money you would use for one less dinner with your lobbyist?
They asked for my help. It’s not often that those in high governmental office ask ordinary citizens to help them sort out the maelstrom of what passes for good governance. All it takes is an election.
Just donate an amount, any amount, to someone’s PAC or political campaign. From then on until way after you’ve left this Earth, you’ll never have to complain about not getting mail.
It said; Buzz – We can’t take two more years of Republican obstructionism. What can they do? Can they Gut Obamacare, pass huge new tax cuts for the wealthy, take away woman’s rights, privatize Social Security and Medicare and destroy voting rights for the poor, students, the disenfranchised, elderly, black and newly sanctioned citizens? Yes!
Does it make you want to vote more than anything in the world? Of course it does. Don’t think your vote doesn’t count. Look at what happened in 2000 with just 537 votes. More than a month after the 2000 election, the U.S. Supreme Court stopped a Florida recount, giving Bush the state by 537 votes (and by virtue of Florida, the presidency).
Vote!
