I found an AMEX card today
Was taking the dogs to the dogpark in the city north of me and while walking on the road a looked down in the grass and for some reason saw an American Express card, don't even know why I looked down, you could hardly see it. It was a current card and had the photo of a woman on it. When I got back home I did some intensive googling and found her email, address, business owner of a big tree and Xmas tree farm in the area and found her list of campaign contributions - last year $42,000, all to Repukes.

I sent her an email and asked her if she had lost something and let me know what it was for identification; sure enough, she said she had misplaced her Amex, still didn't even know it was lost. I emailed her back and told her where I had found it and she said that she was a bigwig at the Repuke HQ In MT and thought she had left it there but probably dropped it whille she was straightening up republican yard signs ,said I could leave it off at a certain business since they knew her and she "practically owned them"...can you imagine?

I told her since I did not live in her city I would mail it back to her. I INTEND TO MAIL IT BACK AFTER THE ELECTION WRAPPED IN AN OBAMA, JON TESTER AND STEVE BULLOCK FLYER.

OMG, WHY DID I EVEN PICK UP THAT CARD

The story approximately 100% bullshit.

On the off chance that this  :bs: story is true, how pathetic do you have to be to politicize somebody losing their credit card.  Just mail the stupid thing back to her.

Just out of curiosity, it's been a while since I've had an AMEX card, I didn't realize they had a photo of the owner? :???:

...and should have mailed it back without any preconditions, or just called AMEX and reported it. But maybe I expect more maturity from our side.

We get a AMEX "pre-approved offer" about twice a week.  I seem to remember a smiling face staring at me from one of the sample cards.

I would never think to look up someone's political contributions before returning an item I found. This is either BS or this person is a POS.
