Obama-for-America wants you to write letters supporting the federal pay freeze (really)

[Bluebear]

via Americablog: From David Dayen, this is OFA's latest appeal, quoted directly:

From Day One, this administration’s top focus has been growing the economy and putting Americans back to work — and that will never change. ...

Yesterday, announced a proposal to freeze pay for non-military federal employees for two years ...

Cutting costs and spending responsibly has been a cornerstone of this administration’s record. And we need your help to get the truth out there.

Will you take a few minutes and write a letter to the editor today to set the record straight?

Pick me — I can do that:

Dear Mr. or Ms. Editor,

I want to set the record straight, just like the president asked me to.

I voted for a progressive Democrat and I got this Republican. Will you please tell people how bad I feel?

Thanks,

Citizen Yes I thought I could

1. Sounds like an appeal to the "Beat me! Hurt me! I love it!" crowd.

2. I support freezing all CEOs pay. The workers, not so much.

I would include all billionaires in the first column, of course.

3. Suck it, OFA.

I am so glad I unsubscribed myself from their list long ago.

4. That would be" Obama for CORPORATE America"

Too bad we were too gutless to elect Dennis Kucinich.

5. What a sad day it is that our govt is begging us to ask federal workers

to take a paycut...like we have any say in it or our opinion will matter one way or the other. :rofl: Thanks for the laugh.

6. You said it. What we think is irrelevant anymore!

7. After that you can all join my OFA "Right to Work" group.

American People, meet the looking glass.

8. This Administration is like something you read in The Onion.

I wonder if they will act shocked when this fails to fix anything.

9. Indeed.
