Today I’m down visiting my father, who is still registered Republican (although he is pro-Kerry… this is an improvement from the days I remember him being staunchly Republican, and my mom being staunchly Democratic).<\/p>\n
In any case, he showed me a mailing from the Republican party. They mailed him a fresh, crisp $1 bill, encouraging him to return it with more money for the Republican party.
