Did he serve time for rape in Massachusetts? Also he is politically motivated.
In 1996, the Boston Herald reported that a man named Leeland Eisenberg who was serving a 10- to 20-year sentence for aggravated rape in a Concord, Mass., prison received a thick voter questionnaire on domestic issues from Robert Dole's presidential campaign.

Eisenberg completed the survey and sent it to the Herald.

To a question about “vital campaign issues,” Eisenberg responded, “Require politicians to be legally responsible for their campaign pledges and prosecute those promises, which result in perjury, fraud, deceit and deception to national trust.”

1. I think his political motivation was obvious
I'm not sure I can decipher much about his motivation from that one survey answer though - how do you prosecute a promise?

2. I just find it sort of comical that Bob Dole's campaign sent
him a survey in prison and he filled it out and then sent it to the Herald.

Would love to see the rest of the answers though, you?

3. Yeah, especially the write in ones!
I wonder if that was the most controversial answer he wrote in though?
