No Really, Car Magnets

April 30th, 2008

Okay, now he’s just starting to feel like a stalker.  I got another email from Barack this morning.  It’s the same intro where he flatters me with all of the bullshit about how important I am, and how he can’t do this without me, but now he’s trying to buy my affection on the cheap. 

Brett –

Next week, we have the opportunity to close out this race and secure the nomination for Barack — but there’s another deadline coming up even sooner.

Financial reports for April will be filed this Wednesday at midnight. The media pundits and Washington insiders will be watching the results and judging the strength of our campaign by the money we raise.

But what’s most impressive about our movement is that our funding has come from grassroots supporters like you. We’ve never accepted donations from Washington lobbyists or special interest PACs. Instead, more than 1,500,000 ordinary people have stepped up to own a piece of this campaign.

To meet this deadline and celebrate our grassroots donors, we’ve created a special gift.

Make a donation of $15 or more before midnight on Wednesday, April 30th, and receive a limited edition Vote for Change car magnet:

The crucial North Carolina and Indiana primaries will require unprecedented resources. But we also need to start preparing for the general election.

We’re building a powerful grassroots movement in all 50 states — organizing communities, registering voters, and bringing new voices into the political process.

We have accomplished so much, but we need your support today — to finish this contest, and to get ready to take on Senator McCain.

Yesterday, he was trying to give me t-shirts with his name on them and a DVD of him giving some speech, but today it’s car magnets.  Is that what our friendship comes down to?  “Hey Brett, give me a few bucks, I gotta go win North Carolina.  Oh, and here, have a car magnet buddy.”  Yeah, how’d that $50 for the contest in Pennsylvania work out?  He keeps begging me for money, meanwhile he doesn’t show up for his job, he sends his wife out to drum up money for him, and he jet-sets around the country partying with people he don’t even know and wants me to fund it.  This is getting really old, I mean I’m willing to help out a friend here and there, but this constant demand for money is really damaging my trust.
