All in the family

The GOP goes Amway:

Party wants Republicans to turn in their friends

The Michigan Republican Party has asked its members to turn over holiday card lists -- complete with their analysis of the political and religious affiliations of their friends and family and their positions on issues such as abortion and gun control.

"Every party spends time and effort to identify voters, so we can get our message out," said Jeff Stormo, spokesman for the Michigan Republican Party. "This is not an unorthodox method, but it is certainly new for us."

The GOP's "Holiday Hits 2003" list will be used to identify voters and possible volunteers for the effort to re-elect President George W. Bush and other Republicans.

Sounds like yet another pyramid scheme to me.
