GOP To Award Medal of Distinction to Druggie The newspaper quotes an administrator of the Warren County Common Pleas Court as saying the NRCC's Medal of Distinction winner "shouldn't have any problems traveling" to Washington to attend the dinner, as long as he notifies his probation officer before leaving.
Congressional Order of Merit - For A Price posted by
Ira Flatow on Wednesday,July 11 2007 I almost won the Congressional Order of Merit, called by some winners of the award as the "most coveted civilian honor." For weeks, via repeated phone calls I had been courted by the office of Congressman Tom Cole, (R) Oklahoma, chairman of National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) . The slogan of the NRCC is "Building A Lasting Majority" (Wikipedia) and its job is to get Republicans elected to Congress.
Because Scams Need Names - The Congressional Order of Merit from Tom ColeYes, it's true - if you're going to rip someone off then the chances are excellent you'll do better if you give your rip-off a spiffy name. Add Stokefire to the list of businesses that have been hit with this scheme - something that seems to be almost as pervasive as the
Nigerian scams that come out every few months.
If you have a fat wallet and really want that award they'll offer you a chance to have a seat at the President's Dinner for about $5,000. It is not actually apparent whether or not the President will make an appearance here. Karl Rove was known to show up at past events, however, so that's almost the same thing, right?
The only way you'll get your hands on the Congressional Order of Merit is if you pay for everything - which seems to have a price-tag of about $5200.
End result? You get a couple pieces of paper, a nice night out, and your name on the NRCC donor's list. All for doing nothing more than being on a calling list and having money. Cool!
But think about this... would anyone ever spend money if this thing didn't have a nifty name?
"Hi - we're with the NRCC and we'd like you give us money for our 'Feed the Rich' campaign.' We'll even feed you lunch and dinner.
