Election Day was nearly one month ago. Harris is still asking for cash

Vice President Kamala Harris‘s presidential campaign is still sending multiple emails per day pleading with supporters for funds, more than three weeks after Election Day.

The emails, the most recent being from Tuesday night, use a variety of tactics to rake in donations, ranging from shaming supporters for allegedly emboldening President-elect Donald Trump to claiming that the funds will be used to fund recounts, even though control of the White House and Congress has already been called by organizations like the Associated Press. Harris’s deluge of fundraising emails comes amid news that her campaign managed to spend $1.5 billion over just 15 weeks and that it ended the election cycle with at least $20 million in debt.
 

“Can we count on you to contribute $50, or whatever feels right to you, to support the Harris Fight Fund program to make sure we count every vote in these final races and hold Trump accountable?” one recent fundraising appeal reads. ”Over the past few weeks, we have been in the states helping finish out recounts and making sure that every vote is counted.But the reality is, we need to see another surge of donations to allow us to continue building the foundation of resources needed to hold Trump accountable these next four years,” another states.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Would love to see the audit of that $1.5 billion, both coming and going.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

For some reason I ended up on their mailing list, and I'm still getting these. I didn't 'unsubscribe' because I never subscribed. No idea how they got my e-mail.

However, from time to time I'd open one and see what they had to say.

Nothing.

No position statements, just looking for money.

Sheesh!

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
