"Veterans group" links up with Americans for Prosperity

by Jon Ralston Tue, 10/16/2012 - 05:48

Veterans in Politics International's Steve Sanson sent out an email Monday shilling for Amercians for Prosperity, the Koch Brothers-funded conservative organization that has been very active this cycle in Nevada.

The ever-literate Sanson issued an "EMPLOYMENT OPERTUNITY" (you can't make this up) for AFP, saying "volunteers" are wanted but adding they will be paid $15 an hour and as "an added incentive workers will be given a $50 AMEX gift card if they work 8 hours." I kid you not.

Oh, there's more from this supposedly nonpartisan group. The full email:

 

RE: EMPLOYMENT OPERTUNITY
 
16 and older welcome
 
 With Election Day rapidly approaching, Americans for Prosperity is looking for volunteers interested in helping by going door-to-door and conducting a brief survey of voters and we are willing to pay you for your time. Workers will be paid $15/hr. As an added incentive workers will be given a $50 AMEX gift card if they work 8 hours.
 
Lunch and Dinner will also be provided.
 
Americans for Prosperity is looking for volunteers interested in participating in walks that will take place everyday until Election Day.
 
The walks will run from 9am to 7pm every day. There will be two meeting points. Volunteers interested in walking in Summerlin will meet at the Hampton Inn (Room 121) in Summerlin located at 4280 S Grand Canyon Dr. Those interested in walking in Henderson will meet at the Hampton Inn in Henderson located at 3245 St. Rose Parkway on the 2nd floor in the Siena conference room.
 
A preloaded Samsung tablet with all the survey questions, locations of houses and directions to each house will be provided and an explanation on how to use the tablet will be given prior to going out. All materials needed to conduct the door-‐to-‐door surveys will also be provided.
