Americans for Prosperity just sent my father a voter registration form in the mail.

According to AFP, my dad is "eligible to vote in the next election" but "not yet registered". They are half right. He isn't registered to vote, but he also isn't eligible. He's been dead for nearly 25 years.

Yet we are led to believe it is liberal Democrats who are recruiting dead voters. Wow, I didn't know Americans for Prosperity -- founded by the Koch brothers -- were a liberal organization.

3. Agreed n/t

4. Considering doing this

though I live in a very rural, conservative area, and my LTTE might not be well-received here.

6. do without mentioning the word Liberal or Democrat

Point out their crookedness without contrasting it to biased opinions about us progressives. Just anything to get people to think a bit.
Little by little, we may get through....a bit.



Thanks for posting.

8. send it to the local paper

The NY Times

And

Jeremy Scahill - The Young Turks etc etc

9. Just mention that the mailer was from Americans for Prosperity

Perhaps wonder - just a little - in the letter whether this is some replacement ACORN group? Should keep the nitwits at bay.

2. You should see them in action in a nursing home! Get the people registered for absentee voters

and the HELP them vote. It was Rs that I saw doing this in the home my mother was in. They would teach a Bible study or have a musical program and get the peoples trust. Then when election comes along they are right there.

5. they prey on the most vulnerable

the elderly, the poor, etc. But when it comes right down to it, they will stab those people in the back. All they care about is the 1%.

7. That is what I saw.
