Operation Wake-Up Call

[AllegroRondo]

This is an idea thats been running through my head for a few weeks, I'd like some DU input.

I work with some hard core Bush supporters, who have been in party mode since the election with no sign of stopping. Some are younger (under 30), some have kids who are of draft age. I've been considering sending a letter to their home address on (faked) letterhead from a non-existant Republican-sounding office. Something like this:

Dear Bush supporter,

Thank you for your continuing support of our President and the war on terror. As you know, during the election campaign, President Bush promised that this war would continue to be fought with an all volunteer military. He is confident that we can fight this war without re-instating the draft.

But high-level military commanders have made it clear that at least 50,000 additional troops will be needed in the coming year. The missions to bring free elections to Iraq and Afghanistan have called for more personnell than initially believed.

You can help President Bush keep his promise, AND support our nation in the continuing war on terror. By enlisting in the Armed Forces of the United States, you will show the world that we do not back down from foreign threats.

Enclosed is an Enlistment document. Just fill out this form and bring it to any local Miliary Recruiting center to enlist in the branch of your choice. With your support, the personnell shortfall can be overcome without any need for a draft.

Thank you,

[KitchenWitch]

You totally rock!

I love it. Can you download those enlistment forms or do you actually have to go to the recruiter's office?

1. I think this is an excellent idea

and i am going to hold onto this letter. maybe email it to me idiot cousin. he has 2 sons around 20yrs old and is constantly talking up the war.

why not just spam the crap out of repugs with this letter?

[AllegroRondo]

3. I'd rather avoid spam

and make it look official by mailing with a return address of some Repub sounding office.

10. I guess

I would like to see it get out to as many bushCo voters as possible

2. OUTSTANDING IDEA!

Do it!

4. I like it..

It'd be interesting to hear about their reactions.

My nephew is 18 and his parents are just waiting for the REAL thing to arrive in the mail.

5. Go for it!

Take a page from their own dirty tricks book and send a million of 'em. Actually, just send them to the people you know and see if you hear anything about them a few days later. Should be interesting.

Keep us posted.

6. I don't like it....

I don't think we should adopt the methods of the repubs.

I'd hate to see this kind of thing get reported somewhere.

18. I agree. Leave the manipulation and deception

and devious methods to the dark side.

[rucky]

8. post it as a PDF...

and I will personally run copies and send it to every Repug I know.

otherwise, can I cut & paste? this rocks.

9. Feel free to cut and paste

its not copyrighted. and I don't have the software to make Adobe files.

11. FANTASTIC!!!

Those people don't "get it" until its on their doorstep anyway, why not put it there??? F--king brilliant.

[Us vs Them]

12. Just be careful, yeah?

Take extra precaution. It wouldn't look good to get caught impersonating military personnel. Just our luck they'd send YOU over there as punishment.

Karma is a bitch.

[genieroze]

13. It's fraud, funny as heck, but still fraud. eom

[AllegroRondo]

14. Fraud? I don't think so.

I never claim to be in the military. I just claim to represent a concerned group of citizens who asks people to volunteer to join. Which is actually true.

[genieroze]

15. Oh okay, I thought you were talking about an official header.

Go for it.

[genieroze]
