Hi Everyone, this is Dennis.

It's Friday, April 23, 2004. I'm in Philadelphia today and I'm looking at the front page of the Philadelphia Inquirer with the headlines: "Coffins at Dover Base - A Little Seen View of the War" and it contains a photo that was published by an activist on his website. It was obtained from the Department of Defense under the Freedom of Information Act and it is is a very grim picture of rows and rows of flag-draped coffins of American service men and service women who were killed in action in Iraq.

The sanitized version of the war is beginning to give way to the grim reality that the casualties keep mounting as this administration keeps digging this country in deeper and deeper. I am more convinced than ever of the importance of standing up and speaking out and demanding that our Democratic Party take a strong stand in challenging this war. Aside from the moral imperative of doing so, aside from the moral imperative of reconnecting with the world community, in the cause of securing not only our nation but the safety of the world itself, we need to take a stand as a practical political imperative.

<snip>

So thank you so much for allowing us to be able to do that. I am going to continue to be the voice of those who have long sought a peaceful resolution of conflicts, not only in Iraq but with respect to other nations as well. I intend to continue to be someone who you can count on to stand up and to challenge the prevailing notions that war is inevitable.

This is the moment that our hearts need to speak out. So thank you, please continue your support of our efforts. Talk to your friends and urge them to contribute to this campaign . We need your help to keep moving forward.

Thank you, Dennis!!!!

Peace
DR
