Thankfully, the RNC is attracting new donors daily to the cause of electing Republicans to public office.  As we get closer to election time, it becomes increasingly important that we find ways to decrease our operating costs in order to provide more money and resources to Party-building activities and candidate support. 

As discussed in a prior Blog, I encourage energy efficiency in our office, to the point of being called a “Dad.”  We periodically send a few ideas to our employees to help reduce our expenses and conserve resources, and I wanted to share our latest tips with you:

• It's a turn-off. Shut down your computer, monitor, printer, lights, those energy hogging space heaters, and electrical equipment before leaving your office, even if it's just for a couple of hours.  Be a good neighbor and turn off any lights that neighbors may have left on after they have gone home for the day.  And neighbors don't turn against neighbors for being ... more
  
  

With an ever-increasing number of Czar appointments by President Obama, it has become clear that no position is too absurd. In an effort to assist in adding another cumbersome bureaucratic layer to government and to help properly ensure the basic human right of friendship to all Americans, a new Friendship Fairness Czar has recently been appointed.

Tasked with the daunting responsibility of making sure that every  Facebook user is equal, this new Czar will help redistribute the wealth of friendship from those who are too popular to those who are poor in friends.

Please immediately report to the Friendship Fairness Administration on Facebook for your assessment. 

Details of how the position of Friendship Fairness Czar works are superfluous. The Czar may or may not have been properly vetted.  The most important thing is that disparity in the number of Facebook friendships is ended.

If it’s a busy day for the Obama Administration, it’s a busy day for us at the RNC Research Department.

On Recovery.gov, the White House just released the number of “jobs created or saved” as reported by federal contractors: 30,383. That’s less than 6 jobs “created or saved” per federal contractor … which is a far cry from the White House’s claim last month that at least 600,000 jobs “created or saved” by the stimulus. RNC Research was all over it, noting that Obama will be reporting 3 different stimulus job counts in the span of 2 months, estimates that have proven to be completely unreliable, all in an effort to turn Americans away from the reality that America has lost over 2.6 million jobs since Obama’s stimulus passed.

Vice President Joe Biden, otherwise known as Dr. Gaffe, is on the road today, visiting Minnesota to raise money for the DNC. It’ll be costly for any Minnesotan to shake hands with Biden today, with the minimum donation at $7,600 per person or $15,200 per ... more
