RNC Fires Phone Solicitors [former donors outraged over amnesty]
The Washington Times ^ | 05/31/2007 | None Listed

Posted on 05/31/2007 2:47:01 PM PDT by de meanr

There has been a sharp decline in contributions from RNC phone solicitations, another fired staffer said, reporting that many former donors flatly refuse to give more money to the national party if Mr. Bush and the Senate Republicans insist on supporting what these angry contributors call "amnesty" for illegal aliens. "Everyone donor in 50 states we reached has been angry, especially in the last month and a half, and for 99 percent of them immigration is the No. 1 issue," said the former employee.

Tell the RNC/GOP that for every illegal alien that they deport we each will give them a dime. Do the math.... will be a lot cheaper than what the Heritage foundation predicts will affect our $$ future collective wallets and purses.

“They seem to forget that corporations can’t vote”

Most are in safe seats and they don’t care. I have believed for quite a while that multi-national corporations are a greater threat to our freedoms than any other. One world rule will come from politicians bought by corporations. We need term limits and elimination of political contributions by anyone but voters in their districts.
Fire away.

99% of GOP voters are pissed off at the RNC, the President and his Immigration Plan, so the Party bosses fire the telephone solicitors? Heaven forbid if these arrogant politicians ever realize that just maybe they underestimated their own party members’ intelligence?

The mail here, asking for money from any Republican cause, and we get many!, goes into the shredder. Quite some time ago I sent back the letter along with the reason why they were not getting any more donations until they started acting like Republicans. At the time I was upset about the promotion of RINO’s running for relelection, and ignoring the conservatives.

I donate to campigns, not parties.

I’ve been getting these calls for several years now, since I’ve contributed some nice change to several candidates of my choosing. Guess I’m on the special list, but I keep telling them that I will never donate wholesale to the party.

I don’t believe the party represents my views anymore; and when I’m in the occasional “tinfoil hat” mood, I think they look to be in collusion with the Dems. An incremental move towards big government/socialist/one world agenda appears to be in progress.

Cut off welfare for illegals.
Massive fines on businesses that hire them, followed by JAIL for repeating offense.

The illegals will self-deport.

Exactly right on the mark and on the money too. With no welfare, no job and potential jailing ; these illegals will self-deport, return home, get screened come here legally with a work visa...Win-win situation for all.

The blind and dumb republicans continue to walk off the cliff. Following Bush blindly over the deep end to total destruction of the Republic and conservative movement. May they all run and jump quickly so someone can fix their mess before we are over run by the hoards they wish to legalize.

It’s not as hard as the compromise crowd thinks.
The laws are already written, we just have enforce them.

” Go to the head of the line. “

The important thing is to kill this bill. It’s irreversible. Also, today bush said:

“I presume we’re not going to build a fence on places where people don’t want it.”

So it looks like he doesn’t intend to secure the border once the bill is passed. He thinks passing this bill will diminish the need to build the fence.

“Fire the messengers, rather than change the program.”

Thats the truth.

I wonder if the RNC will outsource it’s fundraising to Mexico.

I hear there is cheap labor...
