I can't remember the last time I got an "official" mailing from that weasel Paulsen. But now,

3 days before the election & I receive a flyer from him about what a friend he has been to Liberian refugees (I suppose he thinks it makes him look better than Trump) .

And it is marked "Public Document, Official Business" and was mailed at taxpayer expense.
