Ken Blackwell wants to hear from the D.U.
My hometown "home boy" Ken Blackwell is running for Governor

He is asking for donations it would be a shame if he got a bunch of
"empty envelopes." That would tie up a lot of time and help suppress
his candidacy. I would feel awful about it. Now, PLEASE do not pass
this address around the internet to pissed off people. I beg you,
do not do that.

1. You could always include a message
That says, "The check is with the votes. Do yo know where they went?"

7. Here's another suggestion for mailing...
Put the address in both the return address section and the mailing section and then forget to put a stamp on it. That way the envelope has to go back to that address with postage due. :-)

his cheques.

12. That's just childish and immature
Edited on Fri Jan-14-05 07:17 PM by quaoar
And I'll tell you what would be even more childish and immature. If someone were to get one of those boxes used to mail videos and put a brick inside it and mail it without postage.

That would be extremely childish. And very disrespectful.

16. No good...
If it weighs over a pound, it has to be taken to the
post office...so maybe a 15 ounce dog turd instead.

15. So THAT'S why he pulled what he did.
Makes a lot of sense now.

He's hoping Great Father Georgie will come and spread that special magic so that he becomes the governor.

Makes me sick.

17. That is an AWESOME idea...you want donations Ken? you'll get donations!!!
We need to get special DU faux checks made out that people can fill out and mail to them....with Made To The Order Of: Katherine Blackwell, Traitor or whatever you like for the sum of 120,000 or so stolen votes....they would open every envelope that is believed to be a donation.

that would be a tragedy.

21. It would be a shame if we all kept this kicked.
:kick:

Just imagine all those nightowls dreaming up creative things to put in Blackwell's envelopes.

It would be an even bigger shame if someone in Ohio just happened to accidentally give the wrong address to a pizza delivery service, and Blackwell's hungry staff wound up paying for a bunch of pizzas. That happened to the campaign office at a Democratic candidate I once worked for. It's tragic that there are so many dreadful people who would take advantage of poor starving staffers that way.

Hold the veggies, please. No doubt these people are carnivores.

Something evoking underground rodents would be appropriate, I'd say.

26. I love the internet! From February of 2000:!
http://www.enquirer.com/editions/2000/02/24/loc_blackwell_joins_bush.html

COLUMBUS — Until two weeks ago, one of Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell's jobs was to do everything he could to undermine George W. Bush's presidential campaign.

Now Mr. Forbes is out of the race. With less than two weeks before the March 7 primary, Mr. Blackwell is mending fences and joining most of Ohio's Republican establishment by shifting his support to Mr. Bush.

Snip~

While dismissing speculation that he's interested in returning to Washington to join a potential Bush administration, Mr. Blackwell has made no secret that he plans to run for governor in 2006. Backing Mr. Bush could be a chit he could call in later.

11 days - he's fond of that number in a delay.

39. I thought of sending him a penny
There must be some value to me in his run for governor. I estimate that value at 1 cent. Perhaps I will contribute.
