Letter to the RNC RE: Request for donations using Donald Trump’s name

Dear Republican National Committee Co-Chair Sharon Day,

You sent me the below email asking for my financial support using the good name of Mr. Donald Trump. My last communication with Mr. Trump was he is funding his own campaign and that he did not authorize you to use his name in this way. This is a slight of hand. This is political whoring.

You set me a deadline of 7:00 p.m. to pay you. Seriously? Mr. Trump says not so.

The GOP does not represent Mr. Trump as a fund raising tool under the leadership of John Boehner, Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell it does not represent me and millions of others like me across this nation.

With all due respect Mr. GOP RNC – I will not give a dime to the Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, Obama friendly Obama care – Planned Parenthood supporting good ole boy country club. Period.

Patriots if you get this same E mail below Mr. Trump has not authorized it or the use of his name in such fund raising efforts by the RNC. He is funding his own campaign and this is deceit.

FULL TEXT OF EMAIL SENT BY SHARON DAY:

Senior Chief Geoff Ross,

Before Trump takes the stage at tonight’s debate, I’ll be giving him a list of his most active supporters within our Party.

Since you’ve identified as a Trump supporter, I wanted to make sure you had the opportunity to make it on his list.

Contribute $100, $75, $50, or even just $35 to identify yourself as one of Trump’s earliest supporters within our Party.

Trump could proudly see your name on his list of supporters before he gets up on that stage and fights for his platform in front of millions of Americans.

To send these lists over before the debate, I’m setting a firm 7 PM deadline.

And when I give this list to Team Trump, here’s what I’m going to say:
These are Trump’s earliest supporters who have pledged their commitment from the very start
Trump can confidently turn to them when he comes under fire and needs help
…and every single one of them has already made a contribution to the nominee’s war chest
Be one of Trump’s earliest supporters. Get your name on Trump’s list before 7 PM TONIGHT.

If Trump is our nominee, I can guarantee you that millions of conservatives will claim they stood by him from the very beginning.

But with your name on this list of early supporters — before we even have a nominee — both you and Trump will know the truth: that you stood by him before everybody else.

Show your early commitment and get your name on Trump’s list today.

Thanks,

Sharon Day
Co-Chair
Republican National Committee
