Today’s highlight in unseemly fundraising letters comes from Rep. Kathleen Rice (D – NY – 4).
The letter begins, “Three years ago, Superstorm Sandy was barreling toward our shores.” A few sentences later, she adds, “That’s why I’m co-sponsoring legislation to prevent FEMA from clawing back funds from Sandy victims unless there is clear evidence of fraud, and I’m calling on the government to postpone these debt collection efforts until Congress considers our bill.”
Finally, she ends this email about a sensitive subject by asking for a donation.
