Wow, Laura sounds desperate! So does the whole Republican party! I'm sure when she was composing this letter herself she wanted to throw in the threat of "liberal democrats" more than she did but was talked out of it...

Dear Andrew,

I have an important personal favor to ask.

Last month, President Bush wrote you about the outstanding work the Republican National Committee (RNC) is doing to help our candidates at all levels build strong, effective campaigns.

The President also asked for your support in helping the RNC meet its budget goal of $27.8 million.

The RNC must reach this total to provide all our candidates the research, polling data, volunteer training, target voter lists, and direct financial assistance they need to win.

These campaign services are crucial to help GOP candidates counter the hundreds of millions of dollars left-wing special interests will spend to try to elect a liberal Democrat president and Congress. The Democrats' liberal allies have pledged to amass more than $500 million to defeat Republicans.

In 2000 and 2004, George faced a similar onslaught of attacks by special interest groups. The early resources you provided the RNC were vital to answering them and led to victory. We are committed to making certain the men and women representing our Party in 2008 get the same kind of help.

Republican victories this November begin with GOP grassroots leaders like you, Andrew.

Please help keep our Party moving toward electing Republicans from the courthouse to the White House by making an urgent online contribution of $1,000, $500, $100, $50, or $25 to the RNC today to meet their fundraising target.

Your continued support is indispensable to our Party's success on Election Day and to sustaining George through this final year of his Presidency.

The President will fight to overcome every effort the Democrats make to push his agenda to the backburner. He's already won vital victories on the budget, the fight against terror, and on holding the line on taxes.

He has made it clear that his Administration will continue working to expand the economy, create more jobs, reduce the deficit, remain on the offensive against the enemies of freedom, and advance our country's security.

These tasks will not be easy. The highly partisan liberal Democrats leading the Congress have shown little desire to work with the President on solutions to the challenges facing America.

If Republicans are to keep our conservative agenda moving forward and stop the Democrats' bid for complete control of Washington, then you and I and every GOP grassroots leader must do everything we can to elect a new Republican president and Congress.

I hope our Party can count on you today to make a special 2008 online campaign contribution of $1,000, $500, $100, $50, or $25 to help the Republican National Committee reach its budget goal.

Andrew, George and I are grateful for your special friendship throughout his campaigns and Presidency. As we continue to count on you, our candidates this year are relying on your enthusiastic support as well. Please help the RNC as generously as you can. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Laura Bush

Laura Bush

P.S. Andrew, the Republican National Committee needs your support now to reach its budget goal and stay on track to win this November. Please make a special 2008 online campaign contribution of $1,000, $500, $100, $50, or $25 to the RNC today to ensure our candidates have the campaign tools they need to win. Thank you.

Hey Andrew, I got another email from that guy in Nigeria for the money someone I've never met left for me.

I'm going to Western Union him the "seed" money for it tomorrow along with all my personal information and bank account numbers so he can wire me back my "inheritance".

When I get the money from him, I'll send you some of it and you can donate it to them.

Sound OK?

"The highly partisan liberal Democrats leading the Congress have shown little desire to work with the President on solutions to the challenges facing America."

That's the best line of all. I wonder if they truly believe this?

But at least she and "George" are "grateful for your special friendship throughout his campaigns and Presidency" . If only she knew the truth! WPE!

Andrew

I would mail back your receipt, to whoever, in their postage paid envelope.

...or a phone book. You know, a list of people you think might be interested!

Well, it was an email thing so I don't have an envelope...

Andrew

Missed that part.

I used to get donation requests with SASE's in them. Never did much with them, but would have a great time with them now, for sure!

Well, a good scan would work too. I think I'll do just that with my Obama donation this coming month.

Maybe CC, local Republicans too.

Laura Bush is a murderer!

Does anyone here watch "Weeds"? I just borrowed Season 1 from the library, and about wet my pants when one of the charachters talks about how he used to buy pot from Laura Bush in college.

That is THE best show, on so many levels. I highly recommend it.

(Sorry for the mini-threadjack)

>>Laura Bush is a murderer!

any proof of your statement?

Methinks you don't know to what Trixter is referring. She may not be a "murderer" but she has indeed killed someone. No one disputes that. Go look it up.

Andrew

Wow, I thought that was common knowledge...I guess not. I've posted links to this here many times.

She ran a stop sign and killed someone.

That may not be murder, but it is at least negligible homicide.

She likely would be prosecuted today.

So Broadway.....

Still need proof???
