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.

"..but the way the GOP is rigged.."

Now you're starting to sound like me.

Congratulations on the clarity of your thought process.

The Tea Party!

What do we have to do to get the point across to theRNC, march them back across the border ourselves, at gunpoint?

They’ll have to look for the COuntry CLub republicans to get their donations. Schmucks like me will be doing something fun with our money before the taxes tke it all.

I’m saving my money to pay taxes.

I think it would be great if Fred Thompson announced that he was an independent and then blew both parties out of the water next year. Do you think they’d get the message then?

I went to a fund raiser in NJ with Dubya the other night. He was great but the event was sparsely attended. He never even mentioned the immigration issue. Believe me, they got the message.

On a side note, he is a phenomenal speaker at live events. I was shocked at how great he was.

No I won’t give to people like Gingie who keeps condemning the president. They wanted to change the congress so this is what you get.There is no one in the congress left to stand up to the left. Why donate to a party that will not unite on other issues also? We can blame it on immigration but there are a lot of other factors also. But don’t forget the only thing that destroys the party is our own arrogance.

This piece by a retired border patrol officer was posted earlier today on FR and is one of the best things I have read about illegal immigration.

***Parties go through change, and have done so.***

Where is the Whig Party today?

No. Donate to individuals within the party that are against this, like Duncan Hunter.

They have called me in the recent past and I did let them know how I feel. They have not called since. I will send an email now also. :) Thanks!

I faxed and emailed my feelings to both Texas senators. I also sent links to the Rasmussen (sp) Reports poll that found only 26% support amnesty. I know KBH was wishy washy, but she has changed her mind. Sen Cornyn has always been against amnesty.

Explain to me how supporting Republicans will prevent the disaster you mention. President Bush and the Republicans are behind this bill. They could have stopped it in the Senate using the cloture vote as the Dems have often done. They are in favor of this bill...I fail to see how it could get worse under Democrats.

In fact, it feels like we are living under Dem rule right now-hate crime bill, Bush just promised billions of dollars in Aids money to Africa which we all know will merely enrich the despots and do nothing to help the African people, Bush is inviting Gore to the Whitehouse and plans to move forward on global warming, taxes will go up, the immigration bill will destroy this country and of course political correctness in Iraq where our soldiers are prosecuted for fighting back. Give me one reason why I should support anyone in the GOP?

I can tell you hate Hillary. I don’t like her either. However, I fail to see how she could be worse than Bush. Even the healthcare garbage will be absolutely needed after they grant amnesty to 20 million illegals and give our jobs away to H1 workers. America is worth saving. I do not believe the Republican Party can be helpful. I don’t know what the answer is, but supporting GOP candidates year after year while they sell out our country is not the answer.

The Dems want to give our country away. The Repubs want to sell it. Either way, the America I love will be destroyed. Americans deserve better than either of these corrupt, lame, awful parties.

Amen to that. But I called them last year. After the Dubai fiasco. Told them to remove my name from ALL lists.

And if they impeached Jorge tomorrow I would not utter one peep of protest. Perhaps now the rest of the rinos, turncoats, and traitors will get the message.

But I doubt it.
