Traditional Values

Once again involves lying:

"U.S. Taxpayer Census," the envelope says on the outside in big letters. "Do Not Tamper: Reply Within 5 Days."

...

"This Census is individually registered under your name to represent Napa public opinion in California 01 voting district. So it is critical you return it -- even if you are undecided about some answers."

In reality, the "Census" is a mailer from something called the Christian Seniors Association. And of the nine questions it asks, six involve a slanted look at Social Security and three involve donating money to the right-wing organization.

... any funds contributed to the Christian Seniors Association will in fact go to its parent group, the Traditional Values Coalition.
