From food to plitical campaign fund-raising
I've hear about enough about food for one day and thought I'd send along what I though was an interesting response to a fund-raising letter I found recently in the re-election campaign records of a former Texas Governor. The letter was sent out over the signature of the Governor's wife. One of the letters seems to have been addressed to a strong supporter of the opposition party. He wrote back "Hell will freeze over, the Moon will fall from the sky, and cattle will sing sonnets in the fields before I would be able to support . . ." I do not recall ever have seen so strong a rejection letter before.
