On my way to buy lunch today a guy asked me if I'd like to help get Bush out of office. Naturally, I stopped to see what his deal was. He claimed to work for the DNC. He was wearing a DNC button and had a clip board with a petition form with a DNC logo at the top. I started to sign the petition thinking that I'd be sent more info and probably a donation request in the mail. However, this guy started asking me for money right there on the spot. I told him that I didn't have money to contribute right then and there--which I didn't--but that I'd be glad to mail in a contribution. He ripped off a little piece of paper and wrote and address on it where I could send money. Does this sound kinda fishy to you?
...but I was so annoyed that I threw the address away. This guy stopped me on my lunch break. When I heard the words "...kick Bush out of office" I decided to stop for this guy only to get this nonsense. I wish I'd kept the address.
when I was in college I had acquaintances who when they needed a few extra bucks would go door to door for some made up charity or such. So, it does happen.
Candidates do, I know that. Don't political parties as well? (It's been a VERY long time since I've donated to the DNC and it'll probably be a very long time til I ever do again.)
