just received this in an email with other articles

I have contributed to the Swift Boat Vets on two different occasions. Today, when I opened my e-mail, there was a thank you note from them, along with news of upcoming ads they will be running. I clicked on the link to contribute again. As I look back, I realize the form didn't look the same and I never looked at the header. (my mistake) However, I filled it out and contributed $50.00.

When the completed form popped up, I nearly had a heart attack!! I had contrubuted $50.00 to the Democrat National Party, complete with John Kerry's picture. I immediately called my credit card company to have it removed. I was told I must wait until I receive the bill to dispute the "contribution".

To those of you who will be contributing to the Swift Boat Veterans, PLEASE BEWARE the Democrats have a little pop up scam going. I will making phone calls in the morning to alert radio talk shows et al if this outrageous SCAM.<?/smaller><?/color><?/fontfamily>

We can send checks through the snail mail also. I did this since I couldn't get the donation link to work on my computer before.

I had no problem at all. Used the icon in the email to donate, got a confirm -- worked just fine.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the email or the link for
SBVT donations. Alerting the media that YOUR OWN computer has
a virus or spyware or whatever isn't going to help out
in the big picture. Manage your own computer and everything
else works just fine.
Cool

This will work here.

I got one of those form letters from Bill Clinton talking about the time when the only people who had too much money was the government, and that he needed me to send him some more of my money so that we could elect people who would then take more of my money. He even sent me a self addressed postage paid by Democratic Committee envelope. I sent $3. I think they liked my donation because my money even had Bill's picture on it. It gave me a warm feeling.

They go after anyone here that makes their email public.

So be careful if you make it public.
