I will make a $50 donation to DU if I can get 50,000 people to call Rite Aid, from Monday to Saturday as mentioned in my signature below. Rite Aid bought Eckerd and Brooks RX and now Rite Aid owns pharmacies in every of the 50 states and yes Rite Aid and Eckerd gave money to the GOP. You can look those names up at opensecrets.org. After you call Rite Aid send me email to info@dmocrats.org with the subject CALLED RITE AID in caps. The subject must read CALLED RITE AID or I don't count it.

If I get 50,000 emails by Sept. 15 I will make a $50 donation to DU.

I'm doing this for the millions of middle class people who despise the ineffective Medicare Part D and the coverage gap and also for millions of people who want single payer universal Health Care.

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY APPEARS WEAK AND VULNERABLE AT THE CASH REGISTERS OF THEIR FRIENDS THAT GIVE THEM MONEY!

1. There aren't 50,000 active DUers.
And if you want that many responses the best way is to set up an automated email or petition thing, because getting busy people to set up two emails from scratch is honestly a bit unlikely. At the very least, offer a suggested text, some canned points to make or something, because people are busy and you really didn't lay out all that well why RiteAid is a bigger part of the problem than their competitors- hell, your message doesn't really say what the problem is, I'm assuming this has to do with the Medicare drug plan?- and needs so many emails, nor what you hope for them to change if they get them.

YMMV, but that's what I see. :shrug:

3. That's not the attitude that encourages me to assist anyone.
So much for constructive criticism. :shrug: Best of luck.

7. Try criticizing one of the bumper stickers.

From someone who claims they don't have a "bumper sticker mindset." Instead of 50 words, 5 usually works better, but the OP knows what they're doing.

4. That's 1/10 of a cent per call, cheapskate.
I'm holding out for a penny a call.

6. Ok, I'll take your word for it. I'll call.
But you should donate the $50 in any event.
