I am currently a member of the Republican Party. I am a member of the Republican Party because quite frankly I hate to not have a voice. What I mean is, when the caucus and primary time comes around I want the opportunity to vote for a candidate that has a chance of winning the election. I may reconsider that membership in light of a mailing, I received yesterday.
I received a request for money from the party, which is normal. The way that the letter was formatted made it look like a government census form. This bothers me quite a bit. The reason it bothers me is; I don't think that we as a party need to "trick" people into donating money or finding out information.
If you want me to donate money, fine then ask me to donate money and I'll decide. If you want to know my opinion, ask me I'm usually not afraid to tell people my opinion (hence the blog). But don't throw the word census into your mailings and expect me to be scared into filling out your questionnaire and send you some money.
We need to be addressing the issues and I know that it sometimes takes money to address these issues and get the right people elected. It does not take deception. That is the ploy of people who scam the elderly and uneducated.
When I get mail that looks "Official" it makes me cringe and I automatically distrust the sender. If you (the Republican Party) want my support in the future, you better be going down the ethical road, not resorting to deception.
