I just got a call from the RNC (vanity)
RNC | 10/3/2017 | self

Posted on 11/03/2017 9:55:15 AM PDT by Signalman

I just received a call from the RNC in DC asking for a donation. Normally I don't pick up on these calls but this morning, after reading the Breitbart article on Session, I answered the call.

Before the woman could continue her sales pitch, I said, "I'm not sending the Republican Party another dime until Sessions is replaced and the DOJ prosecutes the Clintons".

The woman's started speaking, "Well, you know sir..."

My response. "Click".

Maybe if they get enough responses like this, they'll get the message. What can I say, I'm an optimist.

The RNC mails me a donation request about once a month - but the return address says President Donald J. Trump. You have to read the fine print to find who it’s really from. They go straight into my wood stove.

Do not donate to the RNC.
Donate only to individual conservative candidates.
The RNC has been controlled by the Cheap Labor Express for decades to prevent us from electing anyone who would stop the illegal alien inundation.
It is unclear at this time whether President Trump has wrested control of the party apparatus from the Cheap Labor Express.

I understand any conservative's frustration, but I can assure you that tying political contributions to cases criminal prosecution is not only a losing proposition -- it's ridiculous. And in the case of the DOJ, you're playing right into the hands of the Republican establishment by withholding your contribution based on something that is not part of the Republican Party's responsibilities in Congress.

I got a mail solicitation from the RNC a few months ago and I listed a few clear, simple things that needed to be accomplished before I'd give the party another dime. Everything I listed was tied to acts of Congress that didn't require anything other than Republican votes, and in some cases (the repeal of ObamaCare, for example) the Republican Party had already been collecting donations for years based on their promise to get something done.

Better yet. Tape a brick to the pre-paid return envelope and drop it in the mail box.

Hmmm, how about, “unless you’re Adrienne Barbeau I have no interest in giving anything to any other swamp dwellers”.

They go straight into my wood stove.....There is bar code on the envelope that tells them who you are. I load the envelope up with their own crap and sent it back on their dime. After 4 to 5 returns, I no longer get their crap.

What does Sessions have to do with the RNC?

For the last year or or so when they call me I simply tell them "I am happy to donate directly to Trump's campaign, but I have no plans to donate to the GOP while they are one of his opposition parties".

That shuts them up quicker than any other approach I've tried.

“Add pass repeal of Obama care and tax cuts to your gripes before hanging up!”

That makes sense.

Complaining about Sessions to the RNC doesn’t.

KUDOS to you sir! I haven't given a dime to the RNC in many, many years. We donate individually only to Freedom Caucus-like conservatives.

She is a low-level employee who does not make policy and may not even know what the GOP policy is supposed to be.

I got one too.

Told the poor lady (it was obvious from her tone of voice she hadn’t had much success raising money) that as long as Republicans failed to support Trump’s policies I wasn’t going to give them a dime, and that I would donate directly to a candidate.

She said, yeah I know, with a voice of resignation, thanked me and hung up.
