The following solicitation from the Republican Committee to Re-elect the President (GOP-CREEP) reached us by mistake.

Dear Friend of the President:

We head toward the November Presidential election in a time of global terrorism, a sputtering economy, everybody getting fat and nobody getting educated. But let’s get serious. Come November, only money can safeguard an unbroken continuation of that vital balance of power between the Executive branch and the Executive branch’s friends.

Invest in your future. Give till your stockholders and employees hurt. Contribute now to the 2004 Republican Presidential re-election campaign!

“It’s fair to say that anybody who opposes the re-election of our President is a gutless weasel traitor!”    –Fox News

Think that’s it? You don’t know the Republican Committee to Re-elect the President! Deliver your contribution in CASH (small bills, please!) and you’ll receive a No-Strings Postdated Blanket Presidential Pardon–so you can finally enjoy peace of mind when you violate the law.

WE ACCEPT: BAHAMIAN CURRENCY … PIGGYBANKS … TRIPLE-ENDORSED CHECKS!

Pssst! Be A Phantom Donor!
      Too shy or too culpable for out-in-the-open political giving? A senior Republican Party deniability expert will meet you in your nonreciprocity-treaty nation of exile or anyplace–anytime, anywhere–to receive your donation and guarantee anonymity!
      Extra Bonus! Phantom Donors receive the coveted Kingdom of Saudi-Arabia “Secret Santa” Medal, awarded for exemplary tact in making unrecorded political donations!
      Isn’t the re-election of our President worth money that would otherwise just be gathering dust in some offshore bank account, corporate slush fund or buried strongbox? Let’s review:
      Your gift of more than $1.5 million in cash brings National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice to your door for an inside personal briefing on what she didn’t know about Iraq’s WMDs and when she didn’t know it (if she is able to recall)! For another $l million, “Condi” will smile!

FINAL WARNING!

Foil the Democrat terror coddlers and their “fair and square” election tricks. Your contribution to the Republican Committee to Re-elect the President will buy pre-tested voting machines…private detectives…personal political smears that look just like TV spots…an Iraqi government that listens–and much, much more!

Support independent journalism that exposes oligarchs and profiteers


Donald Trump’s cruel and chaotic second term is just getting started. In his first month back in office, Trump and his lackey Elon Musk (or is it the other way around?) have proven that nothing is safe from sacrifice at the altar of unchecked power and riches.

Only robust independent journalism can cut through the noise and offer clear-eyed reporting and analysis based on principle and conscience. That’s what The Nation has done for 160 years and that’s what we’re doing now.

Our independent journalism doesn’t allow injustice to go unnoticed or unchallenged—nor will we abandon hope for a better world. Our writers, editors, and fact-checkers are working relentlessly to keep you informed and empowered when so much of the media fails to do so out of credulity, fear, or fealty.

The Nation has seen unprecedented times before. We draw strength and guidance from our history of principled progressive journalism in times of crisis, and we are committed to continuing this legacy today.

We’re aiming to raise $25,000 during our Spring Fundraising Campaign to ensure that we have the resources to expose the oligarchs and profiteers attempting to loot our republic. Stand for bold independent journalism and donate to support The Nation today.

Onward,

Katrina vanden Heuvel
