GrannyD for Senate
Great news! Congressman Tom Reynolds of the National Republican Congressional Committee has personally invited me, via a tape recording played over the phone, to become an honorary chairman.
Of course I said yes, proudly and humbly.
The live person who came on after the tape assured me that this was very exclusive. I'm going to get surveys and have a chance to attend a dinner with President Bush. And, as my first act as honorary chairman, I was given the opportunity to pay $500 to sign a full page in the WSJ. Plus I'd get aooden gavel and a picture of the President.
"Can be an honorary chairman without taking part in this ad?"
"I haven't had anyone ask me that before. Let me ask my supervisor." A few seconds pass. "You don't have to have your name appear in the ad."
"But I don't want to give money..."
"I know $500 is a lot. Would you be able to give $200-300?"
"But Congressman Reynolds just told me how much he values my opinion. Now it sounds like you just want my money. I'd love to give you my opinion."
"Very good, sir. We'd love to hear from you. So, can I sign you up as an honorary chairman?"
"Will I have to give you money?"
"No, sir."
"Then, great, yes, I humbly accept."
She takes my personal information.
"I have a question," I say. "I'm an honorary chairman of what?"
"Of your state."
"But what am I chairman of?"
"You'll get surveys..."
"That's great, but I was wondering if I'm honorary chairman of blank. Could you fill in the blank?"
"Your state."
"Ok, great."
She also offered me 24/7 access to the Republican convention via the Internet. Woohoo!
Chairman Weinberger: Please advise the president that I applaud his steadfast leadership in the face of a mountain of contradictory facts. These would surely overwhelm an ordinary man. It's inspirational that Mr. Bush resists their influence so effortlessly.
And good luck on handling your state. That sounds like a lot for one guy.

Posted by shel israel on April 27, 2004 01:30 AM | Permalink to CommentI never signed up but am now told (by fax) that I am up for advancement from my position as honorary chairman. I would get a cowboy hat and a photo of the president with an inscription to me. My new job -Presidential Bussiness Commission.
I won't sign up this time either .. I am holding out for something bigger .. maybe even the president's job.
