I "Almost" Feel Sorry For Cornyn

It's hard to "read" this fundraising plea without getting "distracted" by the quotation marks. I am very "confused" about the online ad/newspaper ad thing. "Which" is it? If I was so inclined, I would click on the "link" and figure it out. But, I am "not" so inclined. Can you find the one time where they didn't put "online" in quotation marks?

Dear Friend,

I'll get right to the point. I'm asking if you'll become an "online" donor to Senator Cornyn's reelection campaign before midnight tonight, June 30, for two important reasons.

First, I need your help to pay for a new online ad campaign.
These bold newspaper ads help people understand the importance of electing a common-sense leader who understands the critical decisions and how they impact each of us personally.

To run the ads in newspapers, we need $25,000 by midnight tonight. So, your $5, $15 or $25 donation right now will make a big difference. This is our first newspaper ad campaign and I hope you can help out.

The other really important reason we're asking for your help now is that today at midnight we close the books on the 2nd Quarter. It's the last real "financial" report the outsiders – like Chuck Schumer, Act Blue, Code Pink and MoveOn.org -- will look at before cementing their national plans.

If you say "yes" now to becoming an "online" donor, you'll help us send an unmistakably clear message we're running a confident, positive campaign and outsiders have no place dumping truckloads of special interest money into Texas.

Will you click here before midnight tonight to help Senator Cornyn online now?

Help us pay for these ads and post an awesome 2nd Quarter report and give Senator Cornyn the digital momentum only you can provide. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Dolly Gonzales
Finance Director


P.S. On his own, the Senator's opponent can't win without the outsiders' aid. That's not a boast. Just a fact given his position on energy "dependence" and critical issues that are decidedly at odds with Texas and our future. Please help us run this very important first newspaper ad campaign with your online gift. $5, $15 or even $25 will be a big help to reach our goal of $25,000 by midnight tonight. Thanks!

They are asking people to be an "online" donor, as opposed to being an online donor.

I guess when you put quotes around "online" that means something more to repubicans. its as if they just discovered the internets.

All of "them".

Watch out, next up may be a "youtube" video "online" about Cornyn.

Wait. They already tried that and it didn't work out so good for them.
