This excellent report about how the right wing scams small donors via direct mail is long overdue, and Base Connect is only one of many offenders. In a nutshell, Base Connect owns a lot of mailing lists for hardcore conservatives who are mostly on Social Security. A candidate hires them to fundraise on their behalf, and Base Connect keeps over 90 percent or so of whatever gets raised. There have been rumbles on the Internet for awhile about their practices, but someone usually steps in to sing their praises, like Michelle Malkin or Dan Riehl. But it's not just Base Connect.
