Chris > WARNING: The story I am about to relate is not for the faint of political > heart. I will try to be succinct and condensed. 6 weeks ago I hired a > professional Republican fundraiser to help raise me money within the > republican business circles. She came to me from a party contact. We signed a > contract and she was off to the races. > Well yesterday marked 6 weeks and the rake so far: $0. > I woke up yesterday frustrated - frustrated that she never answered my calls > immediately and always had excuses as to why there was no events planned or > contribution checks coming in. I had given her a list of over 500 names to > contact. These individuals represented companies, industries and > organizations were not only natural constituents of my philosophy and > positions, but more than 400 of them were members of organizations that > endorsed my candidacy. > SO when I woke up I decided to make some calls myself because I need money to > send mailers to voters and print more signage. I started at the top of the > list. When I asked for each person I prefaced the conversation with "I know > XXXXX(I'm leaving her name out) spoke with you previously but I wanted to > call you personally to invite you to a meet & greet fundraising event for my > campaign. I hope you can help us with a donation.". > Well, after reaching #23 on the list have each person tell me "No one ever > called me about your campaign or asked me to donate". I was pissed. I place > several agitated calls to this person I hired to raise me money. No response. > I went precinct walking last night and on my drive home my cell phone rang. > It was a "private number". I answered. The voice on the other end I did not > recognize. But he said the following (and I paraphrase) - "Mr. Santoro, I've > met you before and I really like you and what you represent. I wish we had > more like you in government office. I want you to know that you've beeb a > victim of some very dirty politics.
