A funny thing happened in my email last Friday. I received an email from a lady who I didn’t know. I clicked it open and what a surprise. It was from the campaign site of one of the lower tier Democratic candidates for president.
But this wasn’t just any campaign request for money, this was a personal note from the campaign manager to someone on their staff. Apparently the staffer had sent the campaign mgr. a first draft of a letter he intended to send everyone on their email campaign fundraising list. The campaign manager had made some changes in that letter and had attached a personal note to explain her changes. Trouble was that she didn’t just send it to her staffer, she apparently sent it to everyone on their campaign fundraising list.
Here’s a quote from her personal note.
“I know you're concerned about sending another fundraising email, but we're only $40,000 short of hitting our November goal, and that money will help keep us on the air and talking about ending the war in Iraq and the Constitution.”
The wording of that quote might lead some to believe the campaign wants to end the war in Iraq and end the Constitution as well. I am positive that isn’t the intended message and besides, the bush administration is well on their way to doing as much damage as they can to the constitution, aren’t they?
So as not to embarrass the hell out of the campaign or the sender of that email I will not identify her. I did send the entire email back to her with the subject heading. “Did you mean to send this out to everyone?” I don’t think she did.
