Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker was apparently willing to risk being labeled a Grinch.

The Republican, who survived a contentious recall campaign and is up for reelection next year, recently asked parents to donate to his campaign instead of going Black Friday shopping for presents to put under the Christmas tree.

In a letter sent from his political committee, and posted online by the liberal website Daily Kos, Walker’s campaign tells parents to take advantage of “a Black Friday special that is better than any deal found in stores.”

“Instead of electronics or toys that will undoubtedly be outdated, broken, or lost by the next Holiday Season, help give your children the gift of a Wisconsin that we can all be proud of,” the letter said, asking for campaign donations.

Walker’s campaign did not immediately comment when contacted by the website Raw Story. He faces a tough reelection fight in the blue-leaning state.

According to Daniel Bice of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, the Walker campaign staffer responsible for this fundraising appeal, Taylor Palmisano, 23, has been fired from the campaign for sending out explicative-laden, racist Tweets about Hispanics.

Plus, I think he stole the idea from me. It's a Christmas tradition here at cs.com for D1B to post his xmas list with the directive to deny your family's needs and focus on D1B.

That reminds me. I still need gifts from the following:

Hansel
Ralph
Saint10
Colgate
Tman
Dback
