The blast email simply reads, "Happy Holidays from the Rangel Family, Steven, Alma, Charlie, Alicia, Howard and future Congressmen: Joshua, Howard and Charles. Our family extends to you the very best for the coming New Year! Sincerely, Charlie & Alma Rangel."

Then there's a big CONTRIBUTE button to click.

Rangel, as you know, was censured by the House for failing to pay income taxes on rental income from his Dominican villa and for improperly raising cash for a City College center bearing his name.

The 81-year-old Harlem pol may be getting ready to hang it up (at his wife's urging), having joked to our Rich Sisk that at his age, "You don't buy green bananas," so it's not clear if the appeal for donations is to pay back campaign debts or pay off his legal fees.

What is clear, he doesn't want to use his own money; like selling his villa to pay his own debts.

Charlie’s not guilty of anything but being Charlie until the people of Harlem say differently.
