Open letter to Senator John Kerry

by Donna LoCicero

Dear Senator Kerry,

I’ve figured out that the reason this feels so awful, so surreal isn’t just because we lost. This isn’t loss. Every Democrat knows what loss feels like. This is something worse. This is theft - theft of our sacred right of voting and thereby, the hijacking of our country.

I want you to know that even though the mainstream media isn’t reporting much of this, a growing army of people believes this. We are determined to unravel this crime... and I can assure you, we’re not going to quit.

Which brings me to your concession speech. I don’t believe you quit. But it was very odd theatre. Watching it, I got the same feeling of disconnect as I did the first time I saw Bush sitting in that classroom for seven minutes.

Something didn’t jibe. In both there’s a sense that what’s going on behind the scenes is bigger than what’s happening in front of the camera. I know you had a recount fund and teams of lawyers ready and waiting to deal with any attempts to steal this election. And, I saw John Edwards come out the night before and promise to count every vote. And I know no Democrat would ever really buy that "stop dragging out the election for the good of the country" line again. Especially when all the votes hadn’t even been counted yet.

I’ve watched you closely this past year and I believe you’re a brave, intelligent politician with integrity. Your friends and family, especially your daughters, reflect well on you. Knowing these things, and following the news closely, many of us have come to the same conclusion: the country is not made up of social conservatives who would rather elect a man who has proven himself a liar and a failure over a man of conviction and political acumen. The exit polls were right.

It’s clear that the Bush Administration never had any intention of relinquishing power. And it’s only in the context of their willingness to stop at nothing and threaten anything or anyone who stands in their way that I can und erstand how you would give us a premature, disconnected-from-reality concession speech.

So I’m not buying it. Please know, Senator, that millions of Americans are not buying it. And we’re trying our damndest to turn a national tragedy, this hijacking of our democracy, around.

Help, as someone once said, is on the way.

freeper alert!

hit the link up and add your comments...one of the replys was clearly a freeper...spreading lies, i tried to set them straight, along with a couple other people.

snip

An American Living in Massachusetts...it is you who have bought into the right-wing spin machine lies...the fact that you quoted their now debunked claim that kerry missed 80% of his senate votes shows this....i know how hard it can be once you have accepted a mental frame...facts just bounce off after that and like the pathological person...the truth will only reinforce the flawed beliefs...this cannot go unchallenged.

now to the substance of your response...george w bush is NOT a good man, his life has been one failure after another, only to be rescued by powerful friends and family...these are facts, and they can be a bitch sometime i know. from his time @ yale (yes legacy admission equals a quota that he is now against) to his reprehensible dodging of the vietnam draft by hiding in a champagne unit in the texas national guard (then going AWOL) and his many failed business attempts...to the governors mansion, where he presided over one of the WORST environmental records and croney politics...his presidency has been a failure from start to finish, i don’t even know where to begin...lets start @ the beginning...his selection by a partisan supreme court that stopped the vote counting in florida, his lies that he would be a uniter not a divider and rule from the center (HAHA), to his two biggest failures...protecting this counrty from a terrorist attack on 9/11, whwre his ENTIRE admin was ASLEEP at the wheel...to his misguided, misadventure in iraq. president bush lied in order to get in there...and he has been lying to the american people ever since...we cannot have an honest debate in this country about the war becuase they need to cover up their original lie with new lies to cover up...believe me i could go on and on, but i’m getting tired.

and lastly his outright theft of this last (S)election...biased media, flawed polls and e-voting were this admins weapons of mass distraction...and i fear the fallujah (even though he declared major combat over 18 months ago) is the latest distraction...from the mounting evidence of MASSIVE ELECTION FRAUD.

so go on with your head on the sand...everything is OK, until the sins of this admin come and knock on your door...i hope for all of our sake that the republic is strong enough to resist this enforced infection.

good night...and Ms LoCierco, please continue to express your beliefs, i admire your letter.

a progressive with real values
