I received an email today from Senator Elizabeth Dole (R-NC) begging for money to fill the NRSC’s coffers since the organization is under “an avalanche of debt” after the midterm elections. Serves them right. Here’s what I wrote in response:

Senator Dole,

I will not support an organization that spent millions of dollars attacking a conservative in a Republican Primary (Steve Laffey, challenging RINO Lincoln Chafee).

I will not send my money to an organization that will sell out on Republican values in favor of a Senator who does not share my conservative beliefs.

I would suggest in the future that you refrain from getting involved in primary elections. If you want to support the Republican candidate in the general election, whether he’s a conservative or not, that is understandable. Wasting millions of dollars smearing a true conservative in the primary merely because he is opposing an incumbent Senator is the lowest form of putting “Party over Principle” which the GOP seems to be quite fond of these days.

You will not receive a dime from myself, or from thousands of other grassroots activists. As I noted, I would suggest that your organization re-evaluate its values and practices. Maybe by 2008 you can turn the organization around, but it won’t happen if none of us donate. Please consider taking to heart the conservative planks of the Republican platform and allowing primary races to be conducted in a fair and ethical manner so that the best candidate to speak for the Republican Party may represent the Party in the general election. Until then, ciao.

Sincerely,

YellowJacket.

UPDATE: I received an automated e-mail back saying that my message was not received because the email is over its mailbox quota. I’m sure there are a lot of Republicans who have filled their inbox with messages similar to mine. Wonder if they’ll listen? (yeah right)
