Dear Mr. Obama…
A resentment shared is a resentment cut in half. Or, so I am told. Therefore, I am going to shit in someone’s Cheerio’s and piss in someone’s Wheaties if this problems persist:
Name: Ruth Bowley
Supporter record: blanket blank blank blank
2013 Membership: Pending
If you want to help us respond quickly and forcefully to Republican attacks on President Obama’s agenda, it is CRITICAL that you renew your membership in the next 24 hours.
Here’s why: National Republicans just had their BEST April fundraising numbers in over a decade. If they top us this month, we are in real trouble. At last count, we need 17,000 more donations by tomorrow’s FEC deadline to keep pace. That means, we need you to step up:
Ruth, donate $3 or more and your gift will be matched!
Thank You for your support-
Democratic Headquarters.
My response is this:
I walked, and I kept track because I make Howie Mendel look normal when it comes to OCD, up and down the mean country back roads of Shot Gun Cities, New Hampshire: 475 miles
I called, approximately, 4,552 1/2 persons. The 1/2 accounts for the small child who would not put Mommy or Daddy on the phone.
I shook hands more often than my overly sanitized body would care to admit.
I kissed the asses of politically bothersome and overly upright Democrats and believe you me…there are snobs on both sides of the aisle.
I am sure that the late nights, the early mornings and the meetings with twenty-something go getters at the local Big Office in the Sky…Concord New Hampshire, doesn’t seem like much. However, if you are a tree hugging, anti social, belligerent liberal such as myself…making nice nice has never been a description passersby would label me with.
The skinny, long and short hair of the whole mess?
I’ve given enough. I realize I am just an email on a list. There is no shinning star next to my name but I will put it as nicely as a lovely centurion put it to me…after I called her in the campaign’s best interest last year for the tenth time.
“Hasn’t that bus left yet? When are those damn money hungry politicians going to be out of our fair state?”
Sincerely,
Ruth, you’ll forget my name come tomorrow, Bowley
p.s.
In actuality I voted for Hillary and I still believe she got screwed but hey, who am I to hold a grudge?
