Reply #3: Just a bogus excuse to pressure for more $$$/"support" [View All]

[Divernan]

This is an upscale version of another old school fund-raising device. You get an envelope in the mail stamped "Urgent" "Opinion Poll" "Make Your Voice Count". Inside there's a series of no-brainer questions of the "are you in favor of motherhood and the flag" type.

Then there's a paragraph beginning: "If you want Candidate X to make YOUR choices a reality, send $$$$$ now! The need has never been greater! yadda-yadda-yadda".

My questions: How many people on The List? What was the minimum/maximum contribution of each?
So easy to pick out donors who haven't gotten near their legal maximum donation yet, get em on the phone and then hit them up for more. Anyone who calls in obviously still thinks Clinton can pull this out of the fire. We've already read that the Clintons were having trouble getting takers for all those $2,000 a plate fundraisers planned for Manhattan.

And that will be good money after bad. They'd be better off to contribute their cash to Dem candidates from the House or Senate.
