In which I get tired of the Tea Pary emails my Grandpa forwards

Also titled, "Trolling."

Grandpa,


I voted for Obama once, and I'll do it again, no matter how many emails you send me.
I will continue to fight for Universal Health Care and taking care of the people of the USA before we "invest" in Military Occupations; equal rights for women, gays, and people of color, and all religions; and renewable energy before OPEC.

I am not impressed with candidates who impose their religion on other people, try to oppress people who live different lives than they do, fail at empathy, think evolution is silly, and believe that big corporations will provide health insurance. Your health insurance, remember, is provided by the government.

Please refrain from forwarding me political information. I enjoy emails about your whereabouts and journeys and how the family is dong.

I will also ask John how your new bike is coming along.

Love,
Me

I wish these responses weren't necessary.

At least he'll listen. I had to block my cousin for the frequent, "IT'S JESUS PRAYER EMAIL CIRCLE FRIDAY!" messages.
I asked her to stop sending them.
The next week's was titled, "PRAY FOR THOSE WHO IGNORE JESUS' LOVE!"
So I blocked her.

Kudos to you for standing up for what's right!

You did send this to him, right? Please say yes.

[manintheboat.livejournal.com]

My mom and I are politically aligned so I don't get Teabagger crap but she used to send spiritually uplifting stuff like this:
