Here’s what I just sent:
I’m extremely distressed and disappointed to see the trashing of Gov. Sarah Palin, blaming her for the recent election loss. When Sen. McCain announced her as his running mate, I immediately contributed online. This was the first time in my life, and I’m 51, that I’ve contributed to a political campaign. After seeing her speak at the RNC, I contributed again, feeling that she had the conservation values this country needs and the will to take the fight to the Democrats.
However, seeing the petty, vindictive, and wrong-headed information that’s being released by the McCain staff makes me somewhat more comfortable with an Obama Administration. At least we know where they stand. But the public trashing of a very fine woman by our own party is a big disappointment and believe me, people are paying attention and if any candidate is misguided enough to hire these people as staff members for any future campaigns, they’ll see the error of their thinking.
I’d like to determine what I can do to receive a refund for my campaign contributions because those were in response to Gov Palin and those funds do not deserve to remain with the McCain campaign.
