27. I have re-written the last part of my letter.
Edited on Sat Jul-01-06 06:59 PM by johnaries
Special thanks to Miss Waverly and Yoda Yada (because I stole some of your ideas)!

I have bullet-pointed the other issues I think are important to winning the elections and added that because of election fraud we may NEED a land-slide win:

We should also focus on other main issues such as:

> The Iraq Quagmire and bringing our troops home. (a special Thank-you to John Murtha, John Kerry, and Russ Feingold)
> Torture - NEVER acceptable. The Geneva Convention applies whether you call the POW’s or “enemy combatants.”
> Homeland Security - especially since there are increasingly more reports that we are not safer here at home. For one thing, Port Security is STILL an issue!
> Illegal, ineffective NSA spying. Not only is it illegal, it is only creating “red herrings” that is wasting our intelligence man-power. As one expert said, this administration is not connecting the dots it is simply collecting more dots.
> The increasing deficit. Repeal tax cuts for the rich and stress better efficiency in government. Stop the huge Republican “earmark” giveaways!
> Increase the minimum wage and wages overall. This is not only good for the workers, by increasing consumer buying power it is also good for the economy.
> Stop or at least slow down out-sourcing. Get rid of corporate incentives to move off-shore.
Republican corruption. Abramoff, Delay, Valerie Plame’s outing, Sybil Edwards and other whistle-bower protections, etc.
> Health Care. Most Americans want Universal Health Care.
> Also extremely important: Election Fraud. Without clean elections, we have no Democracy. (A special Thank-you to John Conyers)
> Of course, we also cannot forget “healing and re-uniting the country” after Bush has proven he is a Divider, not a Uniter. The “United” States should be more than just a name.

However, by adding the environmental debate and building on Al Gore’s work Democrats can win a landslide in 2006 and 2008! And until Democrats can regain power and do something about Election Fraud, we may NEED a landslide.


Here are the addresses I'm planning on sending it to:

Howard Dean democraticparty@democrats.org
DCCC dccc@dccc.org
John Kerry http://kerry.senate.gov/text/contact/email.html
Russ Feingold http://feingold.senate.gov/contact_opinion.html
John Conyers John.Conyers@mail.house.gov
Harold Ford mailto:haroldford@fordfortennessee.com

Any other "send to" suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I think Reckon's idea is excellent. I encourage anyone so-minded to use any portion of my letter whether copy/paste or paraphrased along with your own ideas/suggestions and send your own letters, especially to any Dems running in your state.

We can make a difference. And we will NEED a landslide to overcome Republican Election Fraud!

edit:
Here is the link to the research topic Reckon started:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph...

but for some reason it has been edit-locked by madmunchie without any explanation. I think I will pm madmunchie (being respectful, of course) to find out why.
