We’ve gotten our hands on an interesting mailer sent out by BMW Direct, the Washington political firm that raises campaign cash and spends most of the money on its own direct-mail efforts.

This one was sent out on behalf of Dr. Ada Fisher, a black Republican who ran for a North Carolina Congressional seat back in 2006.

It refers to the black leaders Al Sharpton and Julian Bond, the chairman of the NAACP, rallying opposition to their “liberal policies” that are “harming America.”

With Fisher’s photo in the top corner, the letter reads: “We need proud conservative Republicans to bring our message to the African American Community…Ada you’re just what the Republicans need!”
