I got a similar mailing today. (Mine also came non-profit rate, Haruo, but for 11 cents.) My version is called the Congressional District Survey. Its cover letter is filled with rousing, highly biased and polarizing rhetoric about the Dems and how they are ruining the country with every step they take. All the survey questions choices are "Yes / No / Undecided". with no place for comments. The last question asks if I'm ready to support candidates in my area and donate to the cause. Even has a place for credit card information.

Here's the hilarious part: "As one of our Party's most dedicated and trusted activists, your views and opinions on this survey will be used to represent thousands of Republicans in your congressional district."

I had no idea I was an activist! I've never been to a Party event of either party, have never given them any money, have answered phone surveys in a decidedly non-committal manner, etc. I'm not registered as a Republican (or Democrat) as far as I know. So-o-o ...if I'm one of their "most dedicated and trusted activists" ...they ARE in deep trouble! In fact, this might explain a lot.

I will return the survey, and hope my answers will give them reason to take me off their mailing list. If nothing else, it will cost them the return postage. Deliberately distorting survey results is a little hobby of mine. The rebel in me doesn't like to be pegged or labeled. Please understand, I'm not being partisan in doing this either. I'd like to get off Dem. mailing lists, too, but they never send me anything.

On second thought, I may send a note with the return that might help get me off that mailing list.

Dear Chairman Steele,

Thanks so much for your recent letter and survey. It was much appreciated. I'm getting ready to plant my garden this spring, and any additional manure you could send will certainly be put to good use.

Sincerely,

Neil Heath

I love it, Neil.
