GOP fundraising mailers scam citizens by posing as census surveys
The Republican National Committee is trying to raise money for Trump’s re-election by sending out bogus surveys designed to look like census forms, the Washington Post and Huffington Post reported Thursday.
“Two civil rights groups demanded that the Republican National Committee immediately stop soliciting funds for President Trump’s reelection campaign by using mailers that give the impression they are part of the census,” Huffington Post said.
“Officials in Montana are warning residents … about surveys sent by the Republican National Committee that mimic … federal census forms, with the goal of soliciting money for President Trump’s reelection campaign,” the Washington Post said, and called the mailers “misleading.”
Congress passed a law in the 1990s outlawing such tactics after previous similar fundraising efforts by Republicans.
