Thanks for the many, many people who wrote today to tell me they also heard from the NRCC and that we may all be the victims of a scam. There appear to be two efforts being made to get money and support from unsuspecting business people: One is to ask you to a dinner with the president and then hit you for money (I saved this one on my phone machine); The second is to offer you an award and then hit you for even more money. (The Advocate wrote about that one). I was particularly susceptible because of the SBA award and wondering if something like this would happen. I really try to stay scrupulously nonpartisan in all my professsional work and with Hidden-Tech, so I found this difficult and troubling. Please reach me if you, too, have had either of these experiences. I've alerted regional and national media to this issue. best, Amy Zuckerman Hidden-Tech founder, co-chair
