RNC grass roots revolt on immigration

I hadn't even thought about this.

The Republican National Committee, hit by a grass-roots donors' rebellion over President Bush's immigration policy, has fired all 65 of its telephone solicitors, Ralph Z. Hallow will report Friday in The Washington Times....

There has been a sharp decline in contributions from RNC phone solicitations, another fired staffer said, reporting that many former donors flatly refuse to give more money to the national party if Mr. Bush and the Senate Republicans insist on supporting what these angry contributors call "amnesty" for illegal aliens.

Now, corporate donors may will probably make up the difference, we're not talking huge money here, but this does serve as a bit of a barometer on grassroots and volunteer support.
