Hill Country Democrats

By Karl-Thomas Musselman

This is a message for Hill Country area Democrats. Other counties may also be affected.

You might receive a letter with the return address of Gillespie County Area Democratic Party Annual Fund Drive (or maybe your county name instead of Gillespie).

The enclosure also says something similar. THIS IS NOT FROM GILLESPIE COUTNY or YOUR COUNTY and HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE LOCAL DEMOCRATS. I am embarrassed that someone in our own party is trying to con us.

Take the time to call your county chair for their input. If you are a Gillespie County Democrat, my advice is to ignore this solicitation. Keep your donations at home for the time being. Nothing from this fund raising promotion comes to our local level so you would not have any control on how it is spent.

Give me a call if you have any questions.

Not related to post, but I think some people might want to know about this.

The Travis County Democratic Party had a similar message in their weekly email. They said that it was a DNC thing, and made it clear that it was not authorized by the TCDP and TCDP was not receiving any money from the fundraiser. Perhaps the DNC should check with local folks before misleading people in fundraising appeals.

Yeah, and it makes me wonder first, if it is DNC, and if it is, why they are doing it. It certainly doesn't seem like something that the new chairman would readily authorize, I wonder if the finance dept. hasn't gotten revamped yet.
