I’m now receiving unsolicited emails from The DC Republican Committee, each message arriving twice because two of my email addresses (which both forward to the same location) appear to have been subscribed. Here’s their newest “action alert” which just plopped into my inbox:
DC Needs More then (sic) Hearings
Washington, DC: The DC Republican Committee made the following statement in response to the City’s workers accused of corruption:
“When you have two city employees from the District’s Office of Tax and Revenue who alledgedly were so brazen in their corruption scheme as to have bought a 2005 Benty and spent over $1.4 million dollars from Neiman Marcus, the bottom line is the citizens of DC have to police their public officials,” stated DC Republican Chair Robert Kabel.
“Ward 2 Council Member Jack Evans, chairman of the finance and revenue committee, said he and Council Chairman Vincent Gray will hold oversight hearings. This is a start but not a solution. Reform must take place and the first step is to set up an independent office with subpoena power to root out waste, fraud, frills and abuse within DC Government,” concluded Kabel.
I have no comment on their suggestions for DC government — I’ll leave that to more savvy political commentators — but I do vehemently disagree with the text that follows at the bottom of the email:

No, I have not subscribed to any mailing list of DCGOP, and no way am I clicking on an “unsubscribe” link. Into the “Report Spam” bin this message goes.
