Why are Madeleine K. Albright and Nancy Pelosi e-mailing me?

By Michelle Malkin  •  March 29, 2009 07:02 AM

Ugh. The Perpetual Obama Campaign Machine is a 24/7/365 operation. This landed in my e-mail box yesterday from the money-grubbers at the DCCC.

Dear Michelle,

Last November, with the election of President Obama, we sent a clear message that people who love justice and respect democratic ideals can once again have faith in America.

President Obama and his new foreign policy team, led by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, have hit the ground running and are showing the world that the real America – the best America– is back.

As the world watches a United States that is ready to once again lead in ways that reflect our highest values and our deepest hopes, it is incumbent upon us all to show how strongly we support President Obama and his Democratic allies in Congress.

The DCCC has set a goal of raising $1 million in grassroots support by March 31st. This is the only FEC deadline during President Obama’s first 100 days. The world will use it as a report card on the President’s first months in office and an indication of how strongly we stand behind his agenda for change.

Contribute $5, $10, or more to the Democrats’ Million Dollar Match before midnight on March 31st. Your gift will be matched 2-to-1 by Democrats in Congress, tripling its impact.

Although in office only two months, President Obama has already moved to revive diplomatic efforts in support of peace, renounce torture, write an end to the shameful chapter of Guantanamo, begin the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq, and find a solution to global climate change. Each day, he is sending a message that America wants to work as a partner with friends around the world in order to build a future based on law, justice, human rights, and a commitment to peace.

The president is doing his part; we need to do ours. It is essential that we show our early support for this profound and much-needed change to our foreign policy.

Please show your early support for President Obama and Democrats in Congress. Contribute $5, $10, or more to the Democrats’ Million Dollar Match before midnight on March 31st. Your gift will be matched 2-to-1 by Democrats in Congress, tripling its impact.

As President Obama said in his victory speech on Election Night last November, “a new dawn of American leadership is at hand.”

Please show the world how united we stand as Democrats and as Americans behind our new President and our new Congress in their fight to reclaim America’s role as a force for prosperity and peace around the world.

Sincerely,

Madeleine K. Albright

P.S. The world is watching. Everyone in the media will use our March 31st totals as a report card on President Obama and House Democrats’ efforts to bring needed change to our foreign policy. Support the Democrats’ Million Dollar Match by Midnight on March 31st. Your gift will be matched 2-to-1, tripling its impact.

***

A few hours later, a nearly identical appeal was sent in Nancy Pelosi’s name:

Dear Michelle,

Now is the time to act.

In less than 72 hours, the first FEC quarterly fundraising deadline will hit. It will be viewed by the media and many political analysts as a critical first test of President Obama’s political strength.

To demonstrate to the world the grassroots support for the President, my friends and colleagues at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) have launched a Million Dollar Matching Gift Campaign. Their goal is to raise $1 million by midnight Tuesday.

Your contribution of $5, $10 or more to the Democrats’ Million Dollar Match before midnight on March 31st will be matched 2-to-1 by Democrats in Congress, tripling the impact of your donation.

In the less than 100 days, Democrats have made significant progress in righting our economy, strengthening middle class families and ensuring children have access to high-quality health care. But there is a great deal of hard work left to do to move America in a New Direction. And, we urgently need your help.

The best step you can take right now to move America in a New Direction is to support the DCCC’s Million Dollar Matching Gift Campaign.

Your contribution of $5, $10 or more to the Democrats’ Million Dollar Match before midnight on March 31st will be matched 2-to-1 by Democrats in Congress, tripling the impact of your donation.

The Democratic Party has always stepped up to lead America at times of great need. Today, Democrats have again been called upon to provide leadership at a crucial moment in our nation’s history.

With the support and commitment of Democrats like you, I am confident America will emerge from this challenging time stronger and more united than ever before.

Sincerely,

Nancy Pelosi
Speaker of the House

P.S.: Midnight on March 31st will be a critical milestone in the first 100 days of President Obama’s administration. Please demonstrate your commitment when it matters most by supporting the DCCC’s Million Dollar Match Campaign. Contribute now.

I think between the bailouts and the porkulus and the looming budget, not to mention the $6 billion GIVE/SERVE Act, plus the trillions to be spent on health care and cap and trade, we’ve “contributed” quite enough.

    The America that begs China to buy our debt while ignoring their warnings.

    The America that sends back door video letters to be read laughed at by Iran’s leaders.

    The America that sends back door correspondence to Russia.

    The America that oppresses its people without representation or input.

    The America that cannot find one person to accurately translate one single word into Russian. (Which makes one wonder what was really said in that back door letter to Russia)

    The America that ignores the warnings of France and Europe that they love so much to emulate.

    The list could go on for days unfortunately. The best America? Better than what?

    So where are the Democrats getting the money for the two-to-one match? It was probably buried in that “stimulus” package that no one has read. Why are they constantly hustling us to demonstrate our support? Is Obama so insecure that he constantly needs affirmation? Judging by these pleas, and the round-the-clock “news” conferences, fake state-of-the-union addresses, townhall meetings loaded with cheering crowds, and appearance on Leno, I’d say the lad has self-esteem issues.

    I answered the phone the other day at work, it was a recording wanting me to stay on the line if I needed help with my mortgage. I stayed online to ask why they were calling a hospital, but was quickly told they would remove the hospital number from their calling list and she hung up. I realized it was a computer generated calling list, but most important, I realized this is one of those “new jobs” obama’s porkulus bill created!

    Is the “real America” a place where other world leaders can present thoughtful, priceless gifts to the President and his family, and then receive the equivalent of a Whitman’s sampler and a whoopee cushion (bearing the official POTUS seal) in return?

    Actually, a Whitman’s sampler and an official whoopee cushion would have been an upgrade from what the Brown’s really did receive.

    I, too, was curious about what the presidential campaigns were doing, and saying, so I set up accounts at their sites to learn more. I get solicitations for contributions from all over the place. I delete them.

    Next time I will set up a separate dummy account, and then after the campaign is over, I will delete that account.

    have you all seen this? Absolutely mind-blowing. Apparently, I’m a terrorist, who knew?

    a report from a Missouri Fusion Center (fusion centers bring together law enforcement agencies and offer policy guidance) characterized Ron Paul supporters and other “right wongers” as domestic terrorists.

    The report has since been killed, but is available online above.

    The head of the Missouri Department of Public Safety has apologized to U.S. Rep. Ron Paul and two other former presidential candidates for a state law enforcement report linking militia groups to the candidates. State officials killed the report late Wednesday.

    State Highway Patrol Superintendent James Keathley said, “Law enforcement officers require intelligence of the highest quality and the report in question does not meet that standard. For that reason, I have ordered (the agency) to permanently cease distribution of the report.”

    Keathley ordered a new process for overseeing intelligence reports, requiring the superintendent and director to review the content before they are sent to department.

    Missouri Lt. Governor Peter Kinder called Wednesday for Britt [public safety director] to be put on immediate administrative leave while the report is investigated. He supported calls for the director to be subpoenaed by the Missouri legislature to answer questions about it.

    ALIPAC (Americans for Legal Immigration) is issuing a national advisory to all local, state, and Federal law enforcement agencies and officers, along with all DHS Fusion Centers, a warning against any reliance upon faulty and politicized research issued by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) and Anti Defamation League (ADL).

    “In the past, these groups have served a helpful role in America by providing information about racist and potentially violent groups like the KKK and Neo Nazis,” said William Gheen. “Unfortunately, their mission has drifted into political efforts to paint almost any American or group who opposes their broader political agendas as being associated with racist or potentially violent groups just like what we saw in these scandalous MIAC documents in Missouri.”

    Come April 15th, I’ll be joining the BEST OF AMERICA at the T.E.A. party in Dallas,TX. The participants in the TEA parties across the nation are an example of the Best of America that never left and remain to fight off the tri-fecta of corruption that is steam rolling over the American People.

    Important to note while watching Obama on “Meet the Press” earlier.

    Bob Schieffer pressed Obama hard on the “need to return the ban so-called assault weapons” in response to the claim that 90% of Mexican drug cartels’s weapons are being
    purchased in America. There are many here who would have ignored Obama’s response that current gun laws are not the problem but rather the enforcement of current laws including controlling the border.

    There. He said it. Has any Republican said it so succinctly? Whether he means it is another issue but Rahm Emanuel, a fervent anti-gunner, has consistently told the left-wingers to back off on this issue.

    I would have liked to hear Obama add that 100% of the problem is caused by criminal drug users (like Joe Biden’s daughter Ashley) who continue to engage in the popular drug culture with impunity. Unwilling to confront these criminals, we will allow the nuts to take guns away from us law-abiding citizens?

    We all know what the problem is and we all know plenty of these people. What are we going to do about it? Keep looking the other way for fear of not being “cool”?

    These letters just disclose the real Democrat agenda.

    It would seem that the “appearance” of America as a country of law, justice, human rights, and a commitment to peace, is the DNC’s plan. Regardless of the events during the first 100 days, they will use these contributions as “proof” of America’s approval that this “appearence” is being met. However, they will match the donations to distort the statistics 2 to 1.

    Until seeing otherwise. I will assume the above is true.

    This isn’t from the liberals, this is a bi-partisian effort. It wasn’t just Ron Paul supporters that were singled out. People with any visible third party indicators are targets. Anybody expressing anti-illegal immigration views. Anybody who cited constitutional rights. Members of the NRA.

    So, what are the “rules” regarding contributions? Will the DCCC set up websites to process these anticipated contributions, like Obama had during his run for the presidency? You know, the ones with no verification of legitimacy? What ever happened to that investigation?

    Another problem the Dem’s might have, should they be showered with money from all Obama’s adoring fans, is how to explain how it is that ordinary people (those on the public dole, to the rest of us), who, by all liberal accounts, are in dire straights, homeless, penny less, and clueless, are going to be able to come up with chump spare change to help the Democrat Party.

    What possibly would be the motivation to do so? Tax deductability? Um, those adoring masses don’t pay income taxes, for the most part.

    This is another liberal attempt to re-write history, only this time, it’s recent history. They intend to expand on their notion, that all the financial problems have been caused by the Republican Party…wasn’t it Saul Alinsky who said that you must identify a target, demonize it, and polarize it?

    Is anyone else bothered by President Obama’s frequent habit of referring to himself in his speeches as “We?” Does he fantasize about being King of America, or worse, King of the World?

    Bizarre!!!

    So why does that require more donations? Is Obama running low on stamps? If the recent letter to Iran is an example of the message Obama is sending to his “friends”, I have no interest in helping him get his message out.

    On March 6th President Obama sent the message out to his “friends around the world” that he was open “to negotiating with some moderate Taliban leaders.” In reply, Taliban spokesman Qari Mohammad Yousuf said, “This does not require any response or reaction for this is illogical…”

    These email requests for donations from Albright and Pelosi deserve the same reaction.

    I can think of 3 reasons why the Democrats are anxious to spend Trillions of dollars, and none of them have much to do with helping the economy.

    A: To reward Democratic supporters with tax dollars and buy the vote of future supporters (as stated above.)

    B: To show “good intentions” (actual results don’t matter.) This is useful in swaying some compassionate republicans and independents to vote for them because of their “promise” to help the poor, fund schools, etc.

    C: To grow the size and power of government. This allows them to accomplish both A and B on a more permanent basis.

    Sadly, many Trillions in spending will never make it to the proposed recipients. New government bureaucracies setup to oversee stimulus payments and regulate the recipients will syphon off much of the money. (Someone has to check the names to make sure those receiving stimulus handouts are also on the list of Democratic donors, don’t they?)

    Last November, with the election of President Obama, we sent a clear message that people who love justice and respect democratic ideals can once again have faith in America.

    Sent a clear message? What message was that? The only message they sent was that if you tell enough lies, make sure that people are kept from knowing the truth about the leading candidate and his background, and repeat a lie often enough people will pretty much buy anything. The message they sent was that the people of the United States have absolutely no clue as to the history of the civilized world and have no interest in character, honesty or experience. These are the only messages they sent.

    President Obama and his new foreign policy team, led by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, have hit the ground running and are showing the world that the real America – the best America– is back.

    Oh they hit the ground running alright. However the only thing they are showing the world is that this President has more respect and “love” for the countries enemies and the enemies of civilized society than he does for this country’s allies and friends. It has shown that they are buffoons with neither the knowledge of proper protocol or the willingness to learn. They have shown just how little experience and knowledge they have, and have done nothing more than lend our enemies and potential enemies the hope they required that America is anything but the strong, powerful, great nation it once was. What they have done is make us the laughing stock of the world in ways they only imagined Bush had done. With gaffe after ridiculous gaffe, they unapologetically have turned the State Department into some sort of “3 Stooges” marathon that has emboldened Iran, N. Korea and Russia and has brought us closer to a nuclear shooting war in less than 2 months than we have been in 40 years.

    Exactly what world were these Liberals living on for the last decade? I read these types of things and hear all these claims of how they have returned such and such and am left wondering just what has gone on inside their imaginations, because none of what they claim is even close to reality.

    Seriously, is there anything more ridiculous that listening to a Liberal give their version of reality?

    If we get through the next 4 years with this country in one piece and without having smoking rubble left where some of our greatest cities now reside I will truly be surprised.
