Fwd: It's Time To Support Those Who Always Support Us

[Padme Amidala]

This is an email I received from the Patrick Henry Democratic Club. It contains an important message regarding making sure we protect our strongest supporters in Congress. I understand that some of these representatives have challengers with millions of dollars ready to try to steal their seats in the next election.

This year we have repeatedly asked members of Congress to vote our way on a great many important items. Ten members of Congress have listened to us and have been there and voted the way we have asked them to vote on every major issue. These brave individuals are our first defense in the fight against tyranny and oppression. While many members of Congress have supported mega-corporations and war profiteers over us, these ten have shown that they would rather do the correct thing than pull in the big bucks for doing the wrong thing.

The Patrick Henry Democratic Club encourages all Democrats to support
and contribute to the following people who never fail to put us first. Let’s let them know how much we appreciate their support. Let’s let all members of Congress know that there are higher rewards in backing the people than in backing the interests of mega-corporations. Please contribute as much as you can to the courageous individuals on the following list. Every dollar counts when some of these people will be up against corporate-backed candidates in 2006.
