FEC deadline is tonight - who have you heard from

[upchuck]

The Federal Election Commission's second quarter deadline is midnight tonight. Many politicians are soliciting funds so they can one-up their opponents in the fundraising wars.

So, who has solicited you for cash?

I've heard from Organizing for America who wrote,

"So here I am, on the Sunday morning of the biggest deadline we've faced as a young organization, and I'm asking you, earnestly and directly: Please chip in $5 or more to build OFA today."

And I've heard twice from Linda Graham (I live in South Carolina) who begged,

... in 72 hours, my opponents, out-of-state special interest groups, and the media will be watching to see the numbers we report.

upchuck, I am constantly under attack for being an outspoken conservative. Two groups have already spent over $200,000 running TV and radio ads against me in the past few weeks.

There are very serious issues facing our country right now. I spend every day fighting on behalf of South Carolinians to fix those problems with conservative solutions.

Join our team and help guarantee our campaign has the resources it needs.

Thank you for your unwavering support.

FWIW, it is my understanding that Linda has around $5 million to spend on reelection.

Who has been begging you?

A few weeks back I got a robo call from Rand Paul concerning Right-to-Work.

Wouldn’t matter if they did. I’m not giving them a red cent.

If I want to pay for getting f***ed, I’ll go find a hooker.

Gee, I got that same email from Jeanne Shaheen of NH. Same exact wording. DNC perhaps? This is why we lose elections. We’re not on the ball like Dems.

If I want to pay for getting f***ed, I’ll go find a hooker.

I agree, at least the worst a hooker can do to you is murder you, rob you or give you a disease you can't get rid of but our politicians have succeeded, by small baby steps (progressivism), to tie us up in the financial chains of a new kind of slavery that all of our following generations are going to be born into.

[UCANSEE2]

I agree, except that politicians murder you, rob you, and will give you diseases that you can’t get rid of, in addition to financial slavery.
