yours is in the mail...

it is a plea from the "hillary clinton victory fund" for your donation to support her in the general. received one today. it includes a very long letter from hillary and asks you to use your own stamp to save them the cost of the postage paid envelope.

it was beyond bold and insulting. really, really made me angry. how did they get my address and what gall to send them out before super tuesday?

i ripped it up into pieces - and stuffed it back into the reply envelope with a note demanding they remove me from their donor list. demanded to know whether they got my info from their breach of the dnc sanders supporters lists.

i am so glad bernie is going all the way with his campaign. go bernie!!!

but no emails - I figure they got my address from AARP and they think I'm too old to have a computer. At the bottom of the form where they ask for my opinion - I give it to them.

THe part about the stamp - the usual "help them save needed funds" - I laugh at that. Give HER a stamp? I wouldn't give her the time of day. She should ask Blankfein.

I put a pocket full of pennies in the envelope, and sent the prepaid envelope out without any stamp.
Let the Queen's people pay for it!
