Post TItled: MCCainathon

Since post google sometimes pretends to be bi-partisian and impartial, I joined John McCain's email list.
It wasn't easy, as the site "ERRORED" 8 times and never actually confirmed that I had subscribed- nevertheless, old man
McCain isn't exactly part of the internet generation so I#ll look the the other way on that one.
The first email I get is:


"Can you invest 10 days of your life to make history?"


Can I? Well, no, but "let's do the numbers" (as if the average workweek is 8 hours and federal minimum wage is $5.85,
not to mention the power of the human mind,
-which is priceless-
we are talking $5.85 x 8 hours x 10 days = $468.00... not including gas, babysitters, eating out/on the go, and all the other things I can't think of which one might have to calculate...
damn. Barack only asky for $5-$20. That is just the base because down below it goes on to say:

"These ten days will be unpaid and participants will be responsible for arranging their own transportation
and housing. The campaign is unable to reimburse any expenses." Old man McCain can't order the volunteers a
pizza at 11:45 PM?.

Since I GAVE my sharpie to the Nader folks back when and them my pen to the voter registration people on Obama's
Berlin visit
I think they could at least spurge for some office supplies...
campaigns can never have enough pens, highlighters, tape, staplers,


The John McCain 2008 Presidential Campaign is looking for volunteers who are willing to spend the final ten
days of the campaign helping in a nearby state. Deployed volunteers will take an active role and participate in a number of Get-Out-The-Vote activities. These activities will include making phone calls, going door to door, recruiting volunteers, and assisting with additional campaign activities and operations.

These ten days will be unpaid and participants will be responsible for arranging their own transportation and housing. The campaign is unable to reimburse any expenses.

Please consider this opportunity to adhere to John McCain's call to serve a cause greater than self! On the evening of November 4th you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you did everything possible to secure
the future of our nation.

Let us know that you are ready and able to serve from October 25th through November 4th by replying to this email with your resume and cover letter. Please send both to Volunteer5@JohnMcCain.com.
I'm going to apply to this unpaid job with my resume and cover letter just to see what happens, at least I#ll get some more weird emails...
