Elizabeth Dole sends out GOP fundraising letter disguised to look like federal tax form, "requires" you to respond "or else"

Local blogger BlueNC makes an incredible find.

This is pretty low. A Republican party fundraising letter that pretends to be an official document from the IRS, and then demands that you not destroy the official document and that you respond?

This is fraud, and it's no better than the people who try to extort money from the elderly or those Nigerian spammers. They're looking for a few suckers who don't know any better, and that's exactly what Senator Dole and the Republican party are doing with this mailer. They're trying to trick people into donating money to the Republican party at tax time, or else.

I doubt this is legal, and it's most certainly sleazy as hell.
