The Green Party of Washington State sent out a mailer recently taking a hard stance on Democrats in Congress (well, point taken). But, then they try to connect Democrats in Washington with a handful of local non-partisan races, including two races in Thurston County:
Last November voters voice their disproval (sic) of the machinations of the Bush administration by electing Democratic majorities in both house of Congress. Voters mistakenly believed that the Democrats would end the war in Iraq, raise the federal minimum wage, rein in corporate power...

Best of all, a good portion of your contribution will be used to aid the candidacies of 4 Green Party members...
The problem isn't really that the Green Party is sending out mailers attacking Democrats or that they're using local candidates to solicit funds for their organization, but that they're using at least one candidate that is already getting help from Democrats in Thurston County.
