Bush RNC extremist fundraisers spreading lies about *'s media treatment
My wife and I both own and operate small businesses. Today she got a call from the * people. She sent me this message describing it:

Dear,

I thought you'd be interested in hearing about a phone message and resulting phone call i received today. The message was from Congressman Tom Reynolds, and he wanted to invite me to be his guest to have dinner with W.

I returned the call, and the phone was answered by the Republican National Committee. They played a taped message by Tom Reynolds, who asked me to be part of an advisory committee of Pa. businesspeople, because W wants so desperately to have business people's valuable input. Then the tape asked me to stay on the line to talk to someone personally to work out the details.

So I stayed on the line. A real human came on the line to ask if I believed that the liberal media was out to get W. I said no. Plowing on, the real human asked if I realized that Tom Brokaw, Dan Rather and Peter Jennings was broadcasting lies about W, and wouldn't I like to contribute $75 to help get this travesty stopped. No word about dinner(not that I would have attended!) or advisory committees. Well, if I wasn't ready to contribute $75, then how about $35? I told him that I wasn't ready to make any commitments. He thanked me for his time and hung up on me!

The whole message that he was spewing was about "liberal media lies" -- and they lied to get me on the phone! Absolutely no honor.

luv, j
