Dear Ralph,
On this day in 1936, scientists in New Jersey attempted one of the first deliveries of rocket mail. Rocket mail was exactly what it sounded like — mail, delivered by a rocket that lands in (hopefully) your mailbox — and it was supposed to be the wave of the future.
Rocket mail didn’t work out the way the scientists had hoped.
Today, we use electronic mail rather than rocket mail, so we don’t run the risk of wrecking anyone’s mailboxes. That’s important because we’re going to need all of your inboxes intact to help us elect MVPs in 2016.
MVPs are fighting for the middle class priorities that make our nation great. We need these folks in the Senate, and you can help them win in 2016 by making a contribution.
Who are our MVPs? Well, they include people like Senator Michael Bennet, who’s led the charge to reform Washington’s revolving door and clean up the culture of lobbying.
They include Senators like Patty Murray, who I’ve worked alongside to support renewable fuel development, and Senator Harry Reid, who’s been sounding the alarm about Citizens United and the Koch brothers for a long time.
If they’d worked out the safety issues, I’d send a “Thanks for working so hard” note to each of these senators via RocketGram. But since rocket mail is actually really, really dangerous, I suppose I’ll stick to fundraising emails.
Thanks,
Al
P.S. I’m going to ask the scientists at the Franken Center for Innovation in Fundraising Emails to look into the feasibility of rocket-based fundraising. Until then please contribute online to our MVPs — it’s not as exciting as rocket mail, but it’s a lot safer.
