They are Republicans. They lie. That's what they do

And their latest lie is another fund raising effort that deceptively looks like a Census mailing. This time the mailing was done after a new law designed to stop this had been signed by President Obama.
The Nebraska Democratic Party filed a mail fraud report against the Republican National Committee on Monday for sending out deceiving mailers that appear to be a "Census Document." A member of Congress has also confirmed that the U.S. Postal Service was investigating the matter.

In a letter (pdf) sent to the Postal Inspection Service on Monday, Victor Covalt III, a bankruptcy lawyer and Nebraska Democratic Party official accused the RNC of "attempting to wrongfully trade off and profit from the 2010 Census."

He also charged the Committee with violating a recently-passed law, by not including "an accurate return address including the name of the entity that sent such matter," in its deceptive mailers.
There are several things you can do if you get one of these mailers. First you should contact your local post office about an illegal mailing. Second, fill out the questionaire in the most progressive manner possible. And last, return the prepaid mail envelope, without any donation, to the RNC. This will support your Postal Service.
