I knew something was pretty well scam-tastic about it, so I started trying to check Ol’ Tom and Colleen out — which didn’t take long to find out that the National Republic Congressional Committee is tele-spamming multiple people with this little “award” thing But I want to make sure they get their word out — so I’ve provided a helpful translation of their message:
