"When they go low, we go high."

Keep on thinking that...

Yes, because there are just hordes of people who are going to:

a) read the letter in full, missing multiple references to the Democratic National Committee
b) write a check to a political organization, somehow missing the fact they're filling out said name of the party on the check
c) address the envelope, once again writing the name of the political organization on the envelope
d) mail it without asking any questions whatsoever

No wonder Democrats are losers. They think they can get away with sh**t like this and win, its not even a good politcal strategy. The GOP has more small dollar donations coming in currently then the Democrats....this isn't going to help that.

From this perspective they are very high.

It would seem the attitude of many people here is that when Republicans use despicable tactics, what they're doing is wrong, yet when Democrats do it, it's not an issue.

Partisan hackery at its finest.

You see me making the argument that there are potentially hundreds of thousands of vulnerable recipients of these seemingly official collection notices and your first argument is to claim, not that nobody will be affected at all, but that the numbers I posted were exaggerated. So, you didn't refute that vulnerable Americans (regardless of the number) could be tricked into sending money to an organization that supposedly represents their interests, but you do refute that that is important. Alright...

Stop, please. The damn letter inside the envelope is not a bill, nor could it be misconstrued as a bill.
Unless you saying vulnerable Americans cant read? 

People have fallen victim to all varieties of scams. Look at what Evangelical leaders and TV-based auction networks do to gullible people (who are often underprivileged as well). You still aren't arguing that the practice used by the DNC could coerce vulnerable Americans out of their money by using exploitative and manipulative marketing strategies; you're simply saying "they should be smart enough not to fall for it."

Sending fundraising letters that are obviously not bills inside envelopes that look like collection notices(which are likely just to get people to read them) is not equivalent to the sh*t Evangelicals and Televangelists do.

Who said this mailer would be a problem if the Republicans sent it? Only the concern trolls I'm seeing in this thread.

You hit the nail right on the head.

They're hurting for money?  I thought it was Obama's party now.......why isn't he doing more fundraisers?  No one wants to hear from Hilldawg or Billy Boner.
