Recent Message from the RNC - Where's the DNC's?
Dear XXXXX,

Our nation united behind President Bush on Election Day because of his resolve in winning the War on Terror, his record of growing our economy and because he was the first President in recent history to campaign for a second term with a clear vision for the future. Your dedication to President Bush's agenda enabled him to establish a mandate by receiving more votes than any presidential candidate in American history, and he has already begun delivering on his plans for making America safer, stronger and better.

The President campaigned on reforming our nation's intelligence gathering, and the House of Representatives passed his intelligence reform plan Tuesday night by an overwhelming vote of 336 to 75. The Senate followed suit on Wednesday, passing the legislation by a vote of 89 to 2.

The naysayers who displayed their relentless pessimism every day of the campaign spent the past month arguing President Bush would not be able to pass intelligence reform. While you were out raking leaves, shopping for the holidays or celebrating Thanksgiving with your family, the President's opponents were out attacking him as lacking "political capital." This week's overwhelming votes speak for themselves.

The passage of intelligence reform also shows the critical role a strong party plays in helping the President implement the agenda you and I worked tirelessly to advance. This election was the most important of our lifetimes not because Republicans gained power, but because Republicans gained the opportunity to enact the policies needed to keep our nation moving forward.

The stakes could not be higher, and it is vital that you continue supporting the Republican National Committee. Strengthening Social Security, reforming our legal system and creating a simpler and fairer tax code are necessary, but will not occur without your continued backing of the RNC. The President needs a strong party behind him to implement the positive agenda that drove his campaign, and the RNC needs active grassroots supporters to expand its strength.

Last month's election victory occurred because of grassroots supporters just like you, and the President's legislative victories over the next four years will be because of supporters just like you.

Sincerely,
Ed Gillespie
Ed Gillespie
Chairman,
Republican National Committee

1. Could this idiot be any more arrogant?

Huh, I notice he suspiciously leaves out the part that it was a bunch of Republicans that held up the bill in the first place. Freakin' idiots.

God I hate these people so much; they are so arrogant! I don't really see how this weeks "overwhelming votes speak for themselves" other then the fact that it means that everyone is for this reform (actually, I think a better intelligence reform would be to kick the guy that caused 9/11 out of office in the first place). Does this idiot not realize that if Bush had his way there wouldn't even BE a 9/11 Commission to recommend these changes anyways?

2. Apparently they count on the recipient being both uninformed and gullable
The problem they have is that the "other side" is monitoring their propaganda techniques.

3. Where's the DNC?
Why, along with McAuliffe, Al From and Simon Rosenberg they are busy helping the RNC write letters such as these.
