Despite carrying the tinge of a tired used car-salesman's pitch, solicitations like these are not uncommon in the shadowy world of fundraising and politics..."

Nauseating when done by shameless neocons, but we have classier methods:

Sometimes we award donors with a lucrative"No Bid Contract Award.".

Don't worry though. We have other tricks on ending this non-sense: We will get a list of these doctors and unleash the IRS and DOJ on them.

We usually try to give the awards with more style. Rather than asking the donors for more money, we use a more subtle, classy and vogue wealth distribution award, such as using other people's money to fund the "union auto worker industry bail out award" to thank the union workers for their vote. Likewise we ask donors to cough up more dough to fund the election advertising.http://www.lacyd.org/

Our favorite and most compassionate is where we do not send out letter, but personally reward those with the"Guy who uses a bus bench as a home address award" with a bottle of Thunderbird.
