OMG now they are using Paul Newman to get to me...

Sigh...will it ever end? Now I am getting emails supposedly from Paul Newman even though I do realize the chances of Paul Newman really sitting down at his computer and thinking...Damn...I really need to email Lisa Renee and ask her for a few bucks to help out the Democrats...are about as great as me seeing God or winning the Ohio Lottery.

Seriously guys, if I would have wanted to donate? I would have by now and frankly, if you have guys like Paul on your side? You should have no problem raising bucks from those who really have it to spare. A small part of what "Paul" wrote to "me":

Dear Lisa,

It was one of my life's proudest achievements.

More than the films, more than the awards - finding out that I was on Nixon's Enemies List meant that I was doing something right.

Nixon didn't like my campaigning for Democratic presidential candidate Eugene McCarthy. But then again, he didn't much care for debate, dissent, or the Constitution either.

I was proud to stand with Democrats against an imperial president back then. And I am proud now to stand with a new generation of Democrats against a president who poses what I believe to be the biggest internal threat to American democracy in my lifetime.

That's why, when I was asked to send this message on behalf of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC), I quickly agreed. A Democratic Senate is the best defense against this administration. I am as frustrated as all of you that Congress hasn’t made more progress on issues we care about here in 2007. But I also know that Democrats only have a 51-49 majority in the Senate - and that Republicans, with threats of filibusters and vetoes, have tried to block just about everything.

We've got to preserve and strengthen our Senate majority in 2008, and the best way to do that is by supporting the DSCC. No other Democratic Party organization - not even the DNC - is focused exclusively on electing Democrats to the Senate.

The DSCC is only $114,941 away from their crucial second quarter fundraising goal. They need you to get there.

I really hope they don't need me to get there, because if they do? It's not going to happen...
