A major blow to our Senate Majority from Moscow Mitch

Dear Fellow Conservative,

I’m sorry to reach out with such awful news, but I knew that you’d want to hear this latest update.

Chuck Schumer just had two HUGE VICTORIES in his fight to take back our Majority. Two of his HAND-PICKED liberal candidates just WON their Senate primaries, meaning that a Democratic Senate Majority is more likely than ever.

Fellow Conservative, in order to put a stop to the Democrats’ momentum, I need to ask for your help. I’m activating EMERGENCY 400% MATCHING on all donations made to put a STOP to Schumer and his radical cronies.

Schumer needs to flip just FOUR SEATS to turn the Senate blue, Fellow Conservative. And, now, with these two recent primary wins, he has a real shot of defeating us in November.

As one of the strongest members of our team, Fellow Conservative, both President Trump and I know that you’ll do whatever it takes to prevent that from happening, which is why it’s CRUCIAL that you make a 400% donation to help protect these critical seats.


Wrong, Mitch Baby! I hate to tell you I've never donated a penny to the Repuke Party. but thanks for letting me know you are going through a scary time. Why don't you call Putin...they have money to spare over there!

I'm sure it's not coming out of his own pocket. Probably not from anybody's.

He's the leader of the Republicans in the Senate and has been the majority leader for almost 4 years
Lots of businesses donate to someone like that

I get more spam mail from every member of the trump famdamily than I do from spammers. Thankfully it is all weeded out and never makes it to my primary mailbox. I have a garbage can on the front porch and the stuff that arrives from the thug party goes in it before I even come in the house. I could not figure out how they thought I was a loyal Rethuglicon. I guess they are sending mail to all registered voters, no matter the party.

Like he's been keeping that in his super double-secret money belt for just this contingency, and only revealed it because Schumer scored these "HUGE VOCTORIES" with his "radical cronies".

Mitch, you're as big a lying asshole as your super-secret buddy, Donald Trump. Fuck off and die, Moscow Mitch!

The OP is not upholding turtle's message, but rather exposing it.

I donate $1 or $2 once a year.

This baits them and they keep interested. I figure they spend $100/yr to postal mail me, email me, telephone me.

So this is a good return on investment.

The matching thing is bogus. They're desperately trying to raise tons of cash. But for the RNC? Who knows who's pocket the cash ends up in.

I was in the car today with the local progressive radio station on and I believe it was Thom Hartmann (not positive) who brought up about the recent increase and urgency in these solicitations. He and a guest talked about a theory that if Rump quits the race early or loses, the campaign funds are his to keep. He is so greedy it wouldn’t surprise me.

As far as the matching donations, nothing would surprise me from it being an outright lie and there are no matching funds or there very well could be from these rich right wingers who are desperate to keep him in office doing what they want him to do.
