Letter to the DNC

My response to a request for donations from the DNC:

---

Since the House and Senate leadership - along with Senator Obama - have chosen to aid the Bush administration by voting for telecom amnesty (and please don't try to feed me that line about judicial review - I'm not stupid), this life-long Democrat will neither vote for nor support Obama nor any Democrat who is complicit in this disgusting affair. I'll donate to ActBlue and the ACLU instead. At least THEY'RE not corrupt.

And I'll encourage everyone I know to do the same.

I didn't stop being a Democrat. YOU people did. You disgust me.

A Message to Obama

I just sent this to the Obama campaign. I had to sign up and give them my email/contact info in order to send it.

Not only has the Senator lost my vote for supporting telecom amnesty - and let's not pretend here, it's quite obvious what he's doing - but I will lobby as many people as I can to vote for someone who will actually DEFEND the Constitution - probably the Green candidate. I'm a lifelong Democrat, but no Democrat who supports this obscene distortion of the 4th Amendment will ever get a dime from me again. I'll donate to ActBlue instead.

Thanks, Senator. You just took away my hope.

I then marked their "welcome" message in my Gmail inbox as spam. There doesn't seem to be a way to unsubscribe, unfortunately.
