It happens to R mailings all the time... even in VA. It should never happen, but it makes me chuckle when it happens to Ds and we hear them whine.

She hid just some of our mail in a corner of the post office, and it went undelivered for over 3 months. The biggest problem was that we did not receive invoices from some vendors and wound up getting way behind on their billing because the invoices did not get delivered. It took us about 3 more months to get it all fixed and get our payments up to date. The postal worker was 'talked to' by her manager, but she still has her job. Something similar has just happened to congressional candidate Dan Seals in Illinois. We have very little spare cash right now, but we sent some of it to him. Please give it some thought about whether you might also want to help I hate stories like this. Disgruntled postal workers get away with a lot of pranks. Kristyne McDaniel ----- From: Dan Seals for Congress [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 31, 2008 11:28 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Tampered Mail ALERT Last week, thousands of Seals supporters should have received our campaign's final direct mailing. Unfortunately, those letters were tampered with and never left the post office. Authorities are now investigating the situation, but we have already missed a critical opportunity to raise funds and keep Dan on the air in the final days of our campaign. THE SITUATION The campaign's final direct mail piece, which included a quote from Senator Barack Obama supporting Dan, was set to hit the mail boxes of thousands of supporters last week. The mail was received by the United States Post Office and then transferred that same day to a United States Post Office Distribution Center. After realizing that supporters had not received the letter, we discovered that the mail had been set aside and out of sight at the post office. The letters were supposed to have been treated as first class mail. They were not. CONSEQUENCES We lost the money that we would have raised over the past week if the mailing had been delivered on schedule. With the election just days away, we need to raise money to keep Dan on air MlNnPGHJGiEDnQ> , in the third most expensive media market in the country, so that he can continue to communicate his positive message of change to every 10th district voter. THE SOLUTION: Please contribute to our campaign today and help us raise $10,000 by Midnight tonight MlNnPGHJGiEDnQ> . We had counted on these contributions and with only 4 days to go we cannot take a single dollar for granted. Thank you for your ongoing support.
