Well, it’s the start of a new year! That can mean a lot of things to different people. Time to exercise more regularly, for example. Or to eat healthier foods. And recycle more. Or to give more of your time and attention to the people around you. Or to organize your closet.

The holidays are a time for family. So, please read this fundraising letter to your family. Hi, family member! In case you haven’t had the pleasure of reading these -- here’s my schtick: These are fundraising emails disguised as parodies of fundraising emails. So much for the disguise!

This past Election Day, we successfully dodged a bullet that was intended for the groin of our very democracy. I’m sorry. The heart.

I know you’re sick of these emails enlisting you in our fight against The Fox News Channel’s War on Chanukah. Well, actually, this email is about something even more important. The Senate runoff in Georgia!

Healing nurturer Stuart Smalley once said, “That attitude of gratitude, it ain’t just a platitude!” So, this Thanksgiving, allow me to express my gratitude to all of you who have supported our work at Midwest Values PAC.

I don’t have to tell you how important the runoff in Georgia is. But that won’t stop me from telling you.
