Free The Missus One!

All of a sudden, the Missus has been getting lash notes from outfits that have no business nagging her.

Exhibit A:

This letter from NSTAR hectoring her about our electricity usage:

First of all: What of it?

Second of all: We’re wondering if the neighbors are hijacking our electric lines.

Exhibit B:

This mailer from MoveOn.org Civic Action:

First of all: They’re wrong about the Missus’s voting record.

Second of all: What of it?

From ABC’s The Note:

MOVE ON LAUNCHES NEW VOTER TURNOUT INITIATIVE. A  source with MoveOn.org Civic Action tells The Note that the group is announcing today “that it has upped its voter turnout game with an innovative new concept — the Vote Score — that it expects will result in hundreds of thousands of additional progressive votes this year.  Over the next few days, 12 million potential voters in key states and in key districts will learn their Vote Scores when they receive Voter Report Cards in the mail. Each Voter Report Card tells the recipient how often he or she has voted in the past five elections, and also how that record stacks up against the neighborhood average.  MoveOn will also run provocative online ads to call attention to the Vote Score concept and to challenge potential voters to improve their scores. The MoveOn ad campaign will be viewed tens of millions of times by progressive potential voters in presidential swing states prior to Election Day.

Memo from the Missus: MYOB!!!!!

    The NSTAR report is bogus. They want you to call and give them details THEN they can really give you your usage based on a similar house- not your neighbors at all. Call and OPT OUT of this. Talk about a waste of money. This is as wasteful as the healthcare company’s elaborate ads. Voting record stuff? Again- such a waste of money.Keeping up with the Jones’ doesn’t apply to voting.

    From Montana. My voter report card was mailed by the League of Conservation Voters. It got my voting record wrong. And it got me plenty steamed. I’ve voted in every general election starting in 1968. The tactic is described in Sasha Issenberg’s book, The Victory Lab. There’s going to be hell to pay.
