Received a RNC Census in the mail today, the awful tone of it!

Some snippets: (Note - I am not a registered Republican)

You are among a select group of Republicans who have been choses

You answers will be used to develop a BLUEPRINT for the Republican Party for the next 10 years

...how CRITICAL it is that we identify and contact EVERY SINGLE POTENTIAL Republican voter in America to get them involved.

...your answers will represent the views and opinions of all Republican voters living in your voting district.

Our margins are razor-thin. The liberal voting bloc of the Democrat Party in the US Senate can still stop almost any legislation that President Bush proposes. Real reform depends on maintaining our Republican majority in the House and Senate, not just now but over the next 10 years.

Democrat Party Chairman Terry McAuliffe has stated he will redouble his efforts this year not only to win complete control of Congress, but to take revenge on President Bush and take total control of our national government.

McAuliffe knows he can count on the support of some unions and every liberal special interest to raise tens of millions of dollars to elect Democrats at all levels of government.

Liberal special interests and some unions will continue to hire hundreds of "professional activists" and put them in place in targeted congressional districts around the country. Working together with the radical environmentalists and ultra liberal groups like People for the American Way and the Feminist Majority, these organizers are putting together a broad coalition of liberal grassroots activists to identify and get out their voters.

It is important that I receive your completed Republican Party Census back in the next 7 days. Based on your answers, the RNS will mail an additional 5.5 million GOP Census Documents to your fellow Republicans in the next 4-6 weeks...

They also beg for donations. This is a 4 page letter with an additional double sided questionnaire. All answers to questions are either Yes, No, Undecided, and the categories of questions are Domestic & International Security; Economic Issues; Education Issues; Social Issues; Defense Issues; Republican Party. Some of the questions are:

Should small businesses be encouraged to grow and hire more workers?

Do you support the use of air strikes against any country that offers safe harbor or aid to individuals or organizations committed to further attacks on America?

Do you agree that teaching our children to read and increasing literacy rates should be a national priority?

Do you support the law, passed by the Republican Congress and signed by President Bush, that bans partial=birth abortions?

Do you think US troops should have to serve under United Nations' commanders?

Should we build President Reagan's SDI defense shield against nuclear missile attack?


SPECIAL QUESTIONS WITH SPECIAL ANSWERS:

Will you join the REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE by making a contribution today? Answer choices Yes, check amount, Yes, but cannot afford it but here is my $11.00 to tabulate the survey, or No, I favor electing liberal Democrats over the next ten years.

There is more, but you get the gist. Also included is a self addressed postage paid envelope. I have so many ideas on sending this back...share yours.

Also, should I forward this along to anyone else??

1. One of my friend's husbands answered this really well.

In closing, he said something like this "You've had Republican control of the House, the Senate (for most of your term), and the Presidency. You have no excuses! If this is what Republican government is like, bring back the Democrats!"

And he's a Republican!

3. They SERIOUSLY ask for 11 bux to tabulate it????

This goes STRAIGHT into the round file at GOP headquarters. This is not a survey, it is a fundraising scam. They don't care what you answer, as long as you pay them something. How thinly veiled? Oy!

5. Survey my ass, its a push poll.

They dont want input. What crap.

6. They mention Reagan along with the missile shield?

I wonder if they mention him along with stem cell research too? :)

7. I got one of these too.

I checked favoring electing liberal Democrats over the next ten years, put a bunch of crap in their pre-paid envelope, and sent it back.
