Florida Voter Caging Warning: McCain mailer w/absentee ballot requests

This letter came from a friend, who did a wonderful job in questioning and
investigating the situation. I couldn't even think of the name of this
dirty-trick method, until I saw an article about 'caging'.

This Friday I will interview the journalist of the article, (see below) who
will dig into the Floridian situation more deeply, but I ask you to
report if you received similar letters
Notify all your friends who may be aware in the summer, as they may
find themselves removed from the voter registration list when they return
* Tune in and call in on Friday, and remember the show airing has
changed to 12 Noon.......

Thanks,
Sasha

Today the mail brought a 2 page letter from John McCain, stating I was a
registered Republican and I needed to send them the affirmation that I was
indeed registered and living there ,( and also asking for money ).Curiously
the date on the letter was "monday morning".

The Dems here in Collier said many are reporting they got the same letter.
I asked a local postman how many he had given out today and he said over
100.

Then I noticed on the front....do not forward.

So I called the post office and asked, "what happens when a letter is sent
to me with a do not forward message on it, and I am up north for a few
months?"
He said it goes directly back to the shipper as "undeliverable." I had heard
reports of them doing this in certain neighborhoods and even with Iraqi
soldiers.

The RNC has sent out who knows how many tens of thousands of letters to
registered democrat Floridians, KNOWING they are up north---will get them
returned as undeliverable, and then?

Will they will go to the voter files and CLAIM THEY ARE INVALID VOTERS? I do
not know, but-- Why else would they waste so much money sending huge
mailings to registered democrats?

That is one way to win Florida.

Warn your democrat snowbird friends up north.

How many voter-registration mass mailers are "returned to sender" in the
run-up to Election Day may determine how many Ohio residents are eligible to
vote.
