I got a fundraising email, ostensibly from Al Gore, trying to hit me up for money. This was my response.
Dear DSCC:
While I agree that electing a Democratic majority in the Senate is an absolute necessity if we want to reverse the destruction wrought by the Bush Administration, I have no intention of donating to organizations such as yours. I make political donations only to specific individuals with proven records of speaking out against the crimes of this administration. Too many Democrats are willing to claim political affiliation with the so-called "opposition party" while providing no opposition whatsoever. I will not donate blindly to an organization that may end up contributing my hard-earned dollars to someone like Senator Joe Lieberman, who is a Democrat in name only. My political donations are reserved for those Democrats who behave like Democrats, by speaking out and voting against the lunacy perpetrated by this administration. Thus far, this number is depressingly small, but, as ever, I hope it will grow.
If this response has not reached the appropriate individual(s), I would greatly appreciate it if you would forward it to the proper office. Please do not contact me again seeking a donation.
My reply was probably just a waste of bandwidth, but I'm in a bad mood, and I'm tired of these guys always with their hand out and little or nothing to show for it, as far as fixing our country.
