Wow! I Joined 1,000s of People Called for Congressional Order of Merit
My phone rang today and it was the office of the office of Congressman Tom Cole, (R) Oklahoma, chairman of National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) . I was being nominated for the Congressional Order of Merit for my outstanding work as a small business person. Being a public relations and marketing person, I immediately thought “This is great. I’ll get publicity and tell everyone about my business http://www.bythebookwise.com. ”
Typical of my skepticism, I immediately Googled the key words and found that, alas, I was not alone, and this was another scam. In order to get this award, I have to pledge my allegiance to stop Nancy Pelosi from ruining small businesses like mine. Upon further investigation, I found that some have pledged to do so, since their announcement of receiving the Congressional Order of Merit is advertised in papers and online. It does not say anywhere in their article, however, how they received this award.
My question to any legal folk out there is “Is this legal?” Can I be promised something like an honor “If” I have to pledge to help stop other person from what he/she is doing legally?If this is legal, then it surely is not ethical. I would not have to think very hard and long whether or not I would vote for an individual such as Tom Cole who has to use convoluted and unethical approaches to get support to bad mouth the other guy (gal).
