I just received a “thank you” from the Bush / Cheney ‘04 campaign, complete with “personalized” photo of George and Laura.

In “script” typeface:

“To: Andrew Edelstein, Thank you for your early commitment and dedication as a Charter Member of the campaign in Texas. Grassroots leaders like you are the key to building a winning team.
Best Wishes,”

and what appears to be the signatures of Laura and George Bush.

Where on Earth the G.O.P. got the idea that I am in any way a supporter of our current president I have no idea. I don’t have any money to give them and wouldn’t give it to them if I did. I gave the Browne campaign the maximum legal contribution in 2000. This year I’ll probably vote Dem simply because Kerry is the only one who has a chance of beating Bush, and to me there is no higher priority.

The most ironic part? This solicitation is all about “grass roots” efforts in Texas. But what do they want? Money. Sent to an address in Va.
