Dems now deep in debt, selling t-shirts to raise money

This email is making its way through Democrat Party list-serves.

(Hope this isn’t gonna be their approach to the whole economy. This reminds me of the now long-gone software/e-commerce IPOs from the 1990s who are now nothing but clever t-shirts you save to wear on laundry day…)

[Friend of the Democratic Party]

Our friends at the Democratic National Committee laid it all on the line to
bring change this year.

We’ve been reviewing the books, and the DNC went into considerable debt to secure victory for Barack and Joe. It took unprecedented resources to staff up all 50 states, train field organizers, and build the technology to reach as many swing voters as possible.

It worked.

But it also left the DNC in debt. So before we do anything else, we need to
help pay for this winning strategy.

Make a donation of $30 or more now and you’ll get a limited edition 2008
Victory T-shirt.

The DNC’s 50-state field strategy was crucial to our campaign’s success, as well as victories for Democrats up and down the ballot. Their organizing infrastructure allowed us to compete — and win — in states that seemed insurmountable just four years ago.

They took out substantial loans to make it happen. The DNC didn’t hold back, and now, neither can we.

You were there for this campaign when we needed to reach out to more voters and compete in more states. Now we’re relying on grassroots supporters like you to come through for this movement once again.

We’ll get to work transforming this country. But first, we need to take care
of the DNC.
