The Washington Times reports in this story that donations to the RNC are drying up due to the hostile reaction of the party faithful to the amnesty bill being proposed by the President and some Republicans in congress. The result is that at the RNC the people who normally take donations from the regular members out in fly-over-country have lost their jobs since they have nothing to do. The top brass over at party headquarters is making a heroic effort to put the best face on this by claiming that it is due to the need for technical upgrades to their system, but I think we all know that the reality is a bit different.
Getting the message yet guys?
No money for a party that betrays the members who comprise the base. No money for a party that stabs us all in the back after all of our hard work to get you elected. No money for a party that rewards illegal aliens who broke the law to come here. No money for a party that holds the base in contempt.
Figure it out.
"Last year, my solicitations totaled $164,000, and this year the way they were running for the first four months, they would total $100,000 by the end of 2007," said one fired phone bank solicitor who asked not to be identified.
There has been a sharp decline in contributions from RNC phone solicitations, another fired staffer said, reporting that many former donors flatly refuse to give more money to the national party if Mr. Bush and the Senate Republicans insist on supporting what these angry contributors call "amnesty" for illegal aliens.
"Everyone donor in 50 states we reached has been angry, especially in the last month and a half, and for 99 percent of them immigration is the No. 1 issue," said the former employee.
The RNC spokeswoman denied that the committee has seen any drop-off in contributions.
"Any assertion that overall donations have gone down is patently false," Miss Schmitt said.
