Action Alert: Howard Dean's message for Ted Stevens

[chill_wind]

In my email inbox today- a short excerpt:

The corruption and right-wing ideology of Republican rule has created a double nightmare for taxpayers.

Republicans have created the most expensive government in history through their corruption and out-of-control spending, but at the same time they've either refused or failed to meet the challenges of governing, like adequately preparing for disasters like Hurricane Katrina.

Democrats offer a new direction. We'll cut waste, root out corruption, and reprioritize federal spending so that it works for the people -- and we'll do it responsibly.

Remember -- only one president has balanced the budget in the last 45 years, and he was a Democrat.

One lesson learned over the last six years should be clear beyond any doubt: You cannot trust Republicans with your money.

Tell Republican Ted Stevens that you demand accountability from the people
who spend your money.

2. Done - Stevens is a real Nazi.

It's time for the shady deals, cronyism, corruption, and retaliation from our do-nothing Congress to stop.

3. Thank you Andy A.

We need to sign, spread the word and pass it on. This has been a total outrage. Only one of many, many of course, but this ongoing kind of self-authorized neofascist secrecy thinking regarding our tax-payer money is as sickening of an example as it gets. And we need to say it over and over to voters:

Republicans cannot be trusted with our money.

4. Done

5. Thanks!

We need a few recommends here so as many people as possible can get a chance to see and sign.

TIA to all.

6. One recommendation coming straight up!

And KICK, btw (after all, you guys sure kicked MY thread enough!).

Let's get this bastard! Can we get rid of him yet?

[chill_wind]

11. Thanks much calimary. My sentiments, exactly. nt

7. Done, K&R

[Lugnut]

8. K&R

I signed it yesterday. I don't disagree with anything Dr. Dean is saying. I particularly liked not trusting Republicans with your money. I think that will resonate with voters.

9. K&R& done!

[chill_wind]

10. Thank you, good people.

You too, calimary, sfexpat2000 & Lugnut.

12. Seems we now have a confirmed second "secret holder".

We and Dean need this like a hole in the head.

Dean on Stevens just today: "What's He Hiding?"

14. Remember at the DNC summer meeting last year?

Dean was talking about the Abramoff debacle. He made it clear that any Democrats who were involved had consequences to accept, too. I can't think of the exact words.

Whatever motives there may be, when things start coming out about the pork and the earmarks....some are going to get touched by it on our side.

The website is up already, and I was amazed at the Florida earmarks. I will have to find it again...excellent effort by the left and right working together.

13. Done!

BTW, anybody thinking about a cruise or vacation to Alaska, please reconsider. As long as this whack job Stevens is in office, no thinking American should spend a dime in his state.
