I actually wrote this following letter to the RNC this week. I do not anticipate I will get a response. I actually called 2 times to discuss this matter. The first call was met with the idea that it might in fact be possible to have my contribution returned, but I was hung up upon when I shared my enthusiasm for Mr. Obama's current diplomacy and work. The second call put me through to another person whose phone did not answer so that was the end of that.
I see no reason why we can not ask for our political campaign contributions to be returned if we are so aggreived with the process and experience we have with a particular candidate. They are publically responsible to our nation and to donate to their campaign indicates that you have trust in them to serve publically at a high level of affinity. Mr. McCain in my opinion has not done so to a great extent despite his loss in 2008. That said, I am just trying to tweak the RNC a little bit as they clearly do not represent my thought process in any way and I would like them to know that they have a like mind that no longer is affilitated with their malcontent. To the RNC- I am not your enemy, but you are not my friend either. Thanks!
Dear RNC,
In 2008, I made 2 contributions to Mr. McCains Campaign. I am no longer satisfied with his leadership over the past few years as well, I am quite excited about Mr. Obama's leadership, though I did not vote for Barack Obama myself. I am a physician and I am also on disability. I donated approximately $70 to the McCain Campaign. Since I did this in hope of a better future through his leadership, I must say that I now wish to ask for this funding to perhaps be returned to my accounts. I realize this may seem unusual and clearly the amount is marginal at best. That said, I must say that Mr. Obama is clearly doing what I feel to be the best job and he clearly represents all of my interests today. Mr. McCain was a happy choice for me at the time and I in no way regret my support of his candidacy. That said, I no longer feel that his concerns have been in vogue with my partisanship. I think that it would be a blessing for your committee as well as myself if you might return a sum of $70 US dollars to myself and in that gesture, I could be certain that if a GOP candidate represents my interests in the future, I will be a citizen who may support such a candidate financially. In light of that, Mr. McCain is useful to our congress and I am glad he is a senator. But that said, his notions of disagreement with Mr. Obama at present day are largely disconcerting to my caliber.
So if you may wish to remit such a payment,
Please send to:
Craig Brenner, M.D.
