Maybe it’s Harry’s revenge for not getting to go to France with you. My mother’s dog got a credit card offer once.
Take a look at the campaign finance reports for all the candidates endorsed by Conservative Republicans of Harris County. I think all of them gave several thousand dollars to that organization, with Michael Berry writing them a $40,000 check.
I tactically voted for Pat Buchanan in the 2000 Republican primary – there being no significant choices in the Austin Dem primary that year – and have been receiving GOP mailers ever since. I chuckle a bit every time I toss one in the recycling bin….
