p> RETURN TO RNC br> Re: Larry Thornberry's Listed for Life : /p> p>Like Mr. Thornberry, for the last ten years I have sent the requests by the RNC back to them at their expense. If in a foul mood at the time some of the garbage readily available in the round file is included as well, the idea being if the RNC continues to send me unwanted trash I'll do my best to keep the USPS busy hauling it. As long as they spend to buy votes Republicans continue to waste taxpayer's money like a drunken sailor in a foreign port I'll be damned if I make a contribution. br> -- Jonnie br> Billings, Montana /p> p> Bravo! I have been sending notes back to the RNC's solicitations (alas with no monetary contribution) for years now, and I am still henpecked by their constant mailings that contain no hint of the true Republican messages that were evident during Ronald Reagan's stay in the White House. How incredibly sad; they've obviously ignored my notes for the past 18 years (I often think they have some third party service opening the return envelopes and they toss everything away but the money) and I am now in a quandary as to what should be done next. I suppose they have enough wealthy Rockefeller-type Republicans still contributing and will keep the party afloat, although it will no longer retain the conservative element (i.e., the rest of us who are more average, less wealthy, less influential) it once had. We'll just have to try and wrestle it away again, assuming it doesn't die of its own stupidity, or maybe start another party. It's been done before; isn't that how the Republican Party came into being in the first place? br> -- David P. Bennett br> Chicago, Illinois
