My letter to the Chicago Tribune re Kerry's remarks yesterday.
http://tinyurl.com/25jl3

In response to your article "Unscripted Kerry Calls GOP Liars", I hope he
does not apologize for his remarks in any way. In fact I think many on the
right owe our country an apology for causing us to lose respect around the
world.

As a member of the Dean Rapid Response Team I wrote many letters in defense
of my candidate. He spoke out on numerous unpopular issues, and I am very
happy that our nominee intends to be outspoken as well. DeanRR is not going anyway, and we are going to help to take our country back.

I, for one, do not intend to sit back and watch any Democrat be attacked
with impunity anymore. There has been enough of that. I hope other DeanRR
members will join me in fighting back, and letting the GOP and the press
know that we will be watching.

Keep on speaking out, Senator Kerry.

11. time to smoke out the republicans....
smoke 'em out and hunt 'em down and run 'em down!

this includes freepers, ditto-heads and media whores.

smoke'em all outta their holes. smoke 'em out. let's roll.

it's not good enough to just beat these fascists that are now in power. we have to expose them, humiliate them, and put them in jail. we have to make sure this nazi-like political movement is stopped before it is so far out of control that they destroy this country.

smoke out the repukes.
smoke out the freepers.
smoke out the media whores.

don't stop until every last cowardly, treasonous piece of human garbage has been dragged out of their spider holes.

BRING IT ON!

12. Fantastic!!
Well written, unlike many of the letters we read in the letters to the editors column, it comes across as someone with a brain holding their ears apart. Keep up the good work!

14. A request
You and other member of the rapid response team who are interested in helping should contact the Kerry campaign. They will be happy to hear from you. :hi:

Thanks for doing that BTW :thumbsup:

15. More will be coming out next week after Dean goes into more detail.
Edited on Thu Mar-11-04 03:37 PM by madfloridian
Many of us just decided that the attacks just can not go on. Kerry is speaking out, and that is why I wrote it. If he were not speaking out I would not have. He is doing a good job of saying what needs to be said.

Many of the grassroots will continue under the umbrella maybe with same names, maybe different. Dean said yesterday he will use the grassroots to support the nominee. This is what he meant.

I wrote it the way I did because I am still a Dean supporter who is doing what he expects us to do to take back our country.
