DONOR LISTS: List of Schiavo Donors Will Be Sold

The New York Times reports today the "parents of Terri Schiavo have authorized a conservative direct-mailing firm to sell a list of their financial supporters, making it likely that thousands of strangers moved by her plight will receive a steady stream of solicitations from anti-abortion and conservative groups."

The article paints an image of a bunch of sleazy direct-mail vultures circling the tragedy in Florida and pushing contracts in front of the grief-stricken family during their darkest moments. Definitely a low point for conservatives, Response Unlimited, RightMarch, and the direct mail industry in general. Even grave robbers have a code to wait until the body is in the ground before they start digging for treasure.
