A call for help from Sen. Dole
Gee, do you think a $ .01 donation would help?

Subject: Recovering from our Post-election debt

Help us Retire our Debt!

You have already done so much these past two years to help us protect our Republican Senate Majority - Thank you!

But right now, the NRSC is being buried under an avalanche of post-campaign debt... We need to address this problem at once in order to wipe-out our debt and make sure we have the funds to start 2007 with the maximum strength possible.

Please make an online donation right now to help the NRSC retire our 2006 campaign debt and set the stage for a GOP comeback over the next two years.

Dear Republican Friend,

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generous support of our efforts to elect Republicans to the United States Senate this year.

I just wish I could say I'm writing today to celebrate a Republican victory -- but as you know, we were beaten by the Democrats in a very difficult election year for Republicans nationwide.

But even though we were unable to retain our Senate Majority, I believe we can still walk away from this election with our heads held high...

...Despite the odds against us, we fought hard in all our U.S. Senate races and still managed to keep the Senate extremely close!

And given how close so many races were, I even authorized the NRSC to go into debt so we could put more money into important Election Day messages.

As a result, the NRSC is now in debt after we spent every last cent on last-minute advertising and other efforts.

That's why I'm reaching out to the NRSC's most loyal and generous supporters like you today.

If you are in a position to do so, please make an immediate online contribution to the NRSC in the amount of $25, $50, $75, $100, $250, or more to help us wipe-out our remaining debt and make sure we have the funds to start 2007 with the maximum financial strength possible.

Click here to donate to the NRSC's debt reduction campaign!: <https://www.gopsenators.com/contribute/contribute.aspx?category_meta_id=5101e>

I know you have already done so much this year. And I truly wish that I did not have to ask you for another contribution...

But if we let this debt linger, it will cripple our efforts to recruit great candidates for the next election and begin our drive to win the one additional seat we need to regain the Senate Majority.

So please, don't let me down -- Help the NRSC recover from our election debt at once.

Remember, the sooner we can pay off the debt from the last election and begin to focus on the next campaign, the greater our chances are of regaining the majority in the next election.

So please help me make sure the next NRSC Chairman can hit the ground running in 2007 with no debt.

Simply follow this link: <https://www.gopsenators.com/contribute/contribute.aspx?category_meta_id=5101e> to help fund our debt retirement efforts with an immediate, secure online donation today!

No matter how much you can contribute, I want you to know that I deeply appreciate all that you have done for our Party, our Senate candidates, and me during the past year.

As my term as NRSC Chair comes to an end, I look back and cherish the great friendships I have made with loyal Republicans all across this country. I am truly thankful to have friends like you who are committed to our cause, our ideals and principles.

With my warmest best wishes,

Senator Elizabeth Dole
Chair, National Republican Senatorial Committee

1. Ask "Macaca" Allen and "Kramer" to co-host a pay-per-view fundraiser.

2. LOL, just donated the penny suggested. Asshat is one of my Senators
how I wish she had been up for re-elect.

Here's my note that I'd love to go with it:

So, Ms Fiscal Conservative - you borrowed money and don't know how to pay it back? Sounds pretty familiar, huh? Here's a penny to help you out. Please understand that I'm only doing this because it's the Christmas season (and the official War on Christmas hasn't started yet!) and I always try to do something to help the impoverished and downtrodden (like Jesus said when he wasn't banning all the homo's to hell). But also please consider, for really crappy service in a restaurant, I give three pennies - your party isn't even up to that standard.

on male prostitutes already? Gannon - again?!

Screwing the public is what the corporatists do best.

6. How about a "We are the World" concert
at Rummy's tourture digs? Could really consolidate GOP "qualities" and agendas.

7. Now if we all donated about $5.00
and got onto the mailing lists (which as we know are passed around and around for fund raising purposes), would it not eventually cost the RNC folks just lots and lots of money to continously mail us fund raising literature? It would be something of a subsidy to the post office as well.

Just a thought......
