We made John McCain into a sucker. And we called them Lobby-Pops.

Below is the email to our list ‹ we are asking people to help us send McCain
one Lobby-Pop for every lobbyist on the campaign.

P.S. Extra credit: How many lobbyists does it take to the get to the center
of John McCain¹s campaign?

>> Dear David, 
>> 
>> Following the successful launch of our web ad "Lobbyists, lobbyists"
>> <http://www.firethelobbyists.com/> (to the tune of "Lollipop, lollipop") we
>> decided to have some more fun.
>> 
>> With your help, we'd like to send 115 "lobby-pops" to John McCain -- one for
>> every lobbyist staffing or raising money for his campaign. We only ask that
>> you make a small donation of $4.85 <https://secure.ga3.org/03/lobby_pop/> to
>> offset the cost of the production and shipping and handling of these suckers
>> to McCain headquarters.
>> 
>> As you've undoubtedly heard, John McCain has a lobbyist problem. It's become
>> an image problem, and it's apparently had an impact on his support for
>> reform. McCain used to support comprehensive public financing for all federal
>> elections, but since he surrounded himself with lobbyists to run and fund his
>> campaign, he's retreated from making reform a priority.
>> 
>> Our campaign to "Fire the Lobbyists" <http://www.firethelobbyists.com/> has
>> generated national headlines in leading papers all over the country. But Sen.
>> McCain continues to defend lobbyists like Charlie Black, who lobbied for
>> foreign dictators, terrorist rebels, and unsavory foreign interests that
>> offend American values.
>> 
>> Let's make sure he can't avoid our message. Send him a lobby-pop
>> <https://secure.ga3.org/03/lobby_pop/> -- with his picture on it -- and tell
>> him to fire the lobbyists today.
>> 
>> Thanks,
