Send us your Republican junk mail AND robocalls

(Ask and ye shall receive (see below) - promoted by matt)

UPDATE by Matt: Upon inspiration from williamsman, I have also set up a Michigan Republican Robocall Repository at Putfile (Youtube only does video). Click here to check it out. So far, we only have the Sen. Tom George and Amway Guy robocalls featured last week. Send me more!



At the suggestion of Hy Dudgeon, I've set up - through Flickr - a repository (suppository?) for Michigan Republican junk mail. Why? Well, for one thing it's always good to know what the bad guys are up to. Somthing like this helps pinpoint patterns and strategies. Also - like the Roger Kahn hit piece mentioned this past weekend or the Laura Toy hit piece pictured above - bringing this stuff to light helps demonstrate to media types and others what extreme lengths the Republicans will go to in order to keep themselves in power. And it's a chance to debunk whatever full-color glossy vitriol they happen to be spewing today.

If we get enough submissions, we could even have a contest for junk mail that is the most repulsive, most dishonest, or name some other criteria here.

See the new Republican Junk Mail gallery here. Scan your Republican junk mail as soon as you receive it and email it to: news@michiganliberal.com

Great Idea Matt, How About a Repository For Robo Calls? (4.00 / 2)
DeVos is financing millions of nasty robo calls in the Governor's race. The GOP [Grand Old Pedophiles?] will place hundreds thousands more robo calls in the legislative races. And while the Republicans opposed the Governor's call to require disclaimers on robo calls, it does not take Sherlock Holmes to figure out who is behind a robo call so lets expose them. Robo calls are probably the most vicious, under the radar campaign communications out there. While the technology is designed to not leave messages on answering machines the technology is not perfect so a many robo calls are captured on voice mail and with all the digital phone systems there should be plenty of robo calls for the repository for the media and concernced voters to review.

Here it is. Now send me some robocalls to upload!

Hmmm. (0.00 / 0)
That "child molester" mailer is interesting. Most of those photos look like they are from stock photo catalogs. If you read the License for most stock photography, it specifically says you do not have the right to slander the models in the photograph because of the potential damage to the model's career. You can't, for instance, take a stock photo and imply the model is, well, a child molester.

It would be hard to track down exactly where those came from, but you could end up with some models suing the GOP-- which would be neat.


Good idea! (n/t) (0.00 / 0)

Check out this ugly anti-Stabenow website (0.00 / 0)
The website not only blames her for illegal immigration, but depicts her with a sombrero and plays the Mexican Hat Dance. And, for good measure, has a thank-you note in Spanish thanking her for her pro-illegal immigration stance.

This is the handiwork of the National Republican Senatorial Committee.

Please read "Out of Iraq: A Practical Plan for Withdrawal Now" by George McGovern and William R. Polk.


The people who created that site (0.00 / 0)
are either:

1.  Suffering from Asperger's Syndrome
2.  Inbred specifically for the purpose of appearing on the old Jerry Springer show
3.  Republican

You can't tell, can you?

(apologies to people who really do suffer from Asperger's)

Both DeVos and the GOP (0.00 / 0)
... deny the robo calls with the "disappointed woman" are from them.

Right to Life or the MCC maybe? Any way to get phone records to see where they originated from? It would be nice to know who is doing this...


Ahh crap (0.00 / 0)
You guys don't have the MRP Absentee mailer, it's a real hoot...

I will see if I can get is scanned.

They sent it to me and my wife and we are actual Democratic precinct delegates...what does that say about their targeting ability?

These people are real assholes.
