Subject: , this is unbelievable!

Hi,

This is absolutely stunning.

My co-worker, Mike Ditto, went to Congressman Ed Perlmutter’s Town Hall
meeting on Saturday to listen to him talk to constituents about health
insurance reform. While he was there, his car was badly vandalized.

The side mirrors were smashed off. Big dent on his hood. And
scratches and dents on every door and nearly every other panel of his car. All
because he had an SEIU Healthcare Rally flier in his car.

The health insurance reform rhetoric has become heated over the last few
weeks, but to bash someone’s car because they believe differently than you?
That’s just wrong. It gave Mike quite a shock. And a hefty repair
quote–nearly $3,000.

So we’re asking you to help us cover the cost of Mike’s car insurance
deductible. And once we’ve reached the deductible, we’ll put all your
donations to work fighting for meaningful health insurance reform.

Help fix Mike’s car and support our efforts for healthcare reform.

Health insurance reform doesn’t need a bandaid. “Just say no” is not a plan
for reform. It needs to be fixed so that everybody gets covered–regardless of
a health condition, regardless of their age, or their gender.

Stand up for health care reform today and start by fixin’ Mike’s car!

Thanks,

Bobby, Alan, Brittney, Jen, and Liz

I suppose that Mike should be glad that his car (supposedly) was damaged, and that he wasn’t beaten up for speaking his mind. But then, he’s part of the thug organization that seems to be doing the beatings, so I guess he’s safe.

You’ve got to hand it to Huttner’s astroturf brigade, though: it’s a novel means of fundraising.  Hmm…..maybe at the next anti-war protest (does the left still do those, now that their Messiah is in the White House?), I should drop my camera, blame it on the crowd of angry daddy-hating trust funders or delirium induced by patchoulli fumes and body odor, and use the catastrophe to solicit funds for PPC…
