OK, I admit I haven’t seen THIS gimmick before

This latest solicitation from the DCCC (I get several a day), at least shows some originality in coming up with an excuse to get me to fork over:

Brad —

Today is my 25th anniversary in Congress. I want to take a moment to thank you for your support over the years.

We have made tremendous progress because you have stood with me to ensure that we continue moving America forward.

And now, it’s because of friends and supporters like you that the House Majority is within reach with five months left until Election Day.

On this special anniversary, House Democrats are focused on the 25 seats we need to win the Majority.

Please contribute $3 or more right now to ensure House Democrats have important resources to support strong Democratic candidates and Members facing tough challenges for re-election and hold Republicans accountable for their misguided agenda.

President Obama needs a strong Democratic Majority in Congress and your support will bring us closer to returning the gavel to Democrats who will focus on the people’s interests instead of the special interests.

You are the backbone of our party and we will win in November because of your tireless support and determination.

Can you chip in today?

Onward to victory,

Nancy [Pelosi — she just wants me to think that she thinks of me on a first-name basis]

But it still doesn’t work.

    I never get these.

    and I’m an actual Democrat who’s given them money–more than $3 ($3!)

    The processing fees and reporting requirements alone have got to run at least $3 per donation.

    Also, it reminds me of the paperboy in “Better off Dead” who keeps asking for his “Two dollars”

    Silence,

    You and my daughter must know each other. One of her all time favorite movie moments is the “Two dollars” bit from “Better off Dead”.
