[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 1047806, member: 1246"] No shame. Via [URL="http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppard/2012/10/30/michelle-obama-sends-out-campaign-contribution-request-sandy-pummels#ixzz2AmqdwrVs"]Newsbusters[/URL]: [INDENT]While Superstorm Sandy was pummeling the East Coast Monday night, Michelle Obama was soliciting campaign contributions for her husband’s re-election. The following was sent at 7:44 PM via email to voters in North Carolina and Virginia just around the time Sandy made landfall: From: Michelle Obama <info@barackobama.com<mailto:info@barackobama.com>> Subject: I know we’ve asked a lot of you, but we’re almost there To: Date: Monday, October 29, 2012, 7:44 PM Friend – There’s still time to meet Barack and get two of the best seats in the house on Election Night.

[INDENT][URL="http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/264739-romney-ryan-announce-storm-relief-efforts-for-tuesday"](The Hill)[/URL] – Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and his running mate Paul Ryan scheduled “storm relief” events Tuesday after previously canceling planned campaign rallies. Romney will attend an event in Kettering, Ohio, Tuesday morning with race car driver Richard Petty and country music artist Randy Owen. He had previously scheduled a campaign rally at the same site with Petty, Owen and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) on Tuesday afternoon, but later scrapped the campaign events out of deference to those in the path of Hurricane Sandy. The Romney campaign did not advise what the event would entail, but a Republican source indicated attendees would be asked to bring disaster relief supplies to the event, and that Romney might give brief remarks. Ryan, who was originally scheduled to campaign Tuesday in Colorado, instead returned home to Wisconsin on Monday night. On Tuesday afternoon, Ryan will drop by a Romney campaign office in La Crosse, where he will thank volunteers gathering or donating items for storm release efforts. Later in the evening, Ryan is scheduled to stop at another campaign office in Hudson, again thanking supporters. [/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
