Riddle Me This: Mail From The RNC
May 20th, 2008 by joe
CONTEST: This is a test for our regular visitors and bloggers. The first three most accurate answerers get a log in at NOVA TownHall - AMNESTY - for a time period of no less than one week and they get announced far and wide.
All victors get their first round of adult beverages at the next NVTH consortium covered by me.
Please examine the graphic below (click on it for a larger image).
Questions:
- Identify each numbered element.
- Explain how each element is to be used.
- Explain why.
The contest ends at midnight of May 21, 2008. Thanks, and I look forward to good times with all of you.
UPDATE: Talk about being on the same wavelength: Blog Fu had it figured out within minutes of my posting it. Nice work, Greg, and I look forward to delivering your prizes sometime soon.
The only correction I will make is once assembled, the package must be delivered to the post office counter because of the rule limiting the size that can be placed in a mail box. It’s no biggee, as explained in this post. The postal clerks are perfectly willing to take the package and it will be delivered C.O.D, no questions asked. (The reason for switching to Spanish-language yellow pages is because I think they will provide a better potential growth area to assist Juan Hernandez in his outreach efforts).
UPDATE II: Oh, and I imagine the last thing Greg needs is another place to blog but if he wants to take advantage of Amnesty Week he can always be our guest.

1. Assemble large quantities of spanish-language materials, preferably those heavy and/or bulky.
2. Securely wrap in brown paper.
3. Enclose RNC campaign solicitations within these packages, preferably with amusing notations.
4. Tape pre-paid postage return envelope to wrapped package and secure them.
5. Affix pre-paid postage envelope to package, and drop in the mail.
6. PRAY TO GOD THAT RNC GETS THE MESSAGE THAT UNTIL THEY GET THEIR HEAD OUT OF THEIR BUTT, THE ONLY THING THEY’LL GET FROM YOU IS CRAP WHEN THEY SEND THE NEXT SOLICITATION.
Am I close?

1. A bag of gravel

4. a ten pack of tacos from taco bell

Stone,
#4 cost too much money to simply mail to them. How about use it as intended, wait 24 hours and send the processed result with the paper wrappers from the original purchase?

My compliments on a very nice picture, Joe.

[…] solicitations from the RNC asking for your hard-earned money? That’s the question that Joe over at NOVATownHall asked in his contest posted last evening, which I won on my first try. I win some free beverages and two hundred […]

Is nthat midnight tonight or last night? I don’t care. Here’s my 3 cents on the deal.
1. Perspective new Republican voters
2. Brown paper to wrap the porno in when soliciting money for
3. ..the Republican Party
4. Tape to cover the bar code on the
5. ..postage paid envelopes (that you told your new contributors where sending the money home to “your family” to buy food and what-nots) so that the laser reader cannot “see” where the mail goes and it gets returned to you. And it is still tax deductable! And you save the cost of postage!
Just a different perspective but it also works. Kevin taught me how to manipulate things!

Once, the Larouchies sent me a solicitation with a pre-paid mailer. I sent them a tire rim.

Huh? Actually, there is no apostrophe in “retards”, PW.
My last RNC telemarketing solicitation ended with me telling the caller I now only give money directly to candidates I support, and the woman responding that “we are the only organization that can give funds to John McCain’s presidential campaign.”
This was not exactly a selling point.
My contribution to the McCain campaign this year, prompted by my good friend Dean (10 ft), is to mainly shut up about the presidential election. In fact, most of my posts on the election the past couple months have been to point out the frighteningly leftist, anti-American force of nature that is Barack Obama. I’m doing my part.
I’m a little disenchanted, and therefore I don’t have to give this time. I’ve given plenty of cash in past years. I’ve sent some money to individual Republican candidates this year. Right now the mountains of direct mail I am receiving from the national party just rub me the wrong way. Sort of like Juan Hernandez rubs me the wrong way.
If you feel it is necessary to provide more financial support to the various national GOP organizations, then you had better saddle up and dish out more cash.

Just don’t act like a democrat, Its a little immature to send back the letters so the GOP loses money.

Back last year when Mel Martinez was at the top of the RNC and Lindsay Graham was declaring “We’re gonna tell the bigots to shut up”, I was costing the RNC money with a vengeance. Multiple trips to the post office, many postage paid envelopes returned with lectures rather than money inside. That was the 2007 “Defund the RNC!” movement. Good times, good times.
To be perfectly honest, I am not necessarily doing ANYTHING right now except keeping my tape and Spanish-language phone books at the ready. I want to hear what McCain says when he speaks at the La Raza Convention in July.

Joe, The lady didn’t get far with me on my telemarketing solicitation, either. I’m not at all happy with the direction the Republicans have taken in the Congress…although I am happy to see McCain in ther running. He will tear away from Obama AND Clinton’s bases, and the SCOTUS is thereby secured from the Clinton factor for at least four more years.
Think big picture here, gentlemen.
NICE MOVE with the phone books, though…
May 22nd, 2008 at 10:37 pm
Yeah, I am with you on that. McCain’s camp needs some tough love, though. Some leather gloves across the face. I don’t think he can out democrat the democrats and win - by a long shot. He needs to get some of us on board.
