Latest Kerry email: You're Not Invited!

[Greeby]

Dear XXXXX

Dick Cheney will be there. So will Rick Santorum...Phyllis Schlafly...Newt Gingrich...Ann Coulter...Republican Party Chairman Ken Mehlman...and Grover Norquist, a figure at the center of the Jack Abramoff Republican lobbying scandal.

Tomorrow, at 9:30 a.m., the gavel will drop on CPAC 2006 - the Conservative Political Action Conference. Soon a parade of Bush administration and Republican Party leaders will trek over to kiss the rings of the right-wing political operatives who work so hard to push the reckless Bush agenda through Congress - and of the right-wing agitators that stop at nothing to keep Bush-backing candidates in power.

They've got a lot to talk about. Because from excusing the incompetence of the Katrina response...to denying the illegality of warrantless domestic spying...to condoning the corruption of the DeLay/Abramoff wing of the GOP...to disguising Bush policy failures on everything from Iraq to Social Security to the botched prescription drug program...

...Republican and right-wing activists have been getting a lot of practice trying to hide their incompetence, corruption and failures from the American people.

While they plot strategy, here's what we're going to do: raise the money we need to break their grip on power and drive them from office.

Contribute Today to Break Their Grip on Power

Our Break Their Grip on Power campaign will mobilize our grassroots network and deliver a forceful message in neighborhoods across America.

We will use newspaper ads, radio ads and grassroots "spread the message" initiatives to define the issues of 2006 and defend Democrats who tell the truth about the real needs of the American people.

We'll break their grip on power by changing the course of close campaigns at a moment's notice acting -- three million people strong -- to deliver unprecedented levels of grassroots help to support our candidates.

We'll break their grip on power by pulling our candidates through to victory with our Fight Back Fund springing into action whenever one of our candidates comes under attack.

And, as Election Day approaches, we'll break their grip on power by getting out the vote for change by using the full power of the Internet to drive Democratic and independent voters to the polls - bringing to our side even many lifelong Republicans who feel betrayed by a Republican Party that long ago lost its moorings.

Contribute Today to Break Their Grip on Power

When I joined courageous Democrats in the filibuster against the Alito nomination, I told you it was important to stand up for what we believe in, win or lose. Today, I want to remind you that, when it comes to the 2006 elections, we can't afford to lose. If we want to break their grip on power, winning is the only option.

Let's get it done, starting today and never turning back until the last vote is counted 270 days from now.

Sincerely,

John Kerry

"kiss the rings of the right-wing political operatives" errr, say what, John? :rofl:

1. I like the line: "...defend Democrats who tell the truth..."

because we know a few that don't.

2. I noticed that instantly too.

I think Kerry is PISSED. His PAC raised reelection money for Byrd, Cantwell, and Bill Nelson - and they thanked him by stabbing him in the back over the filibuster. They fucking owed him that vote - if they didn't have the actual principle to filibuster Alito, they should have supported it for Kerry's sake after what he did to help them. Reading between the lines, this email says "fuck the ingrates."

3. Dear Lord, I know I don't pray to you because I am a Deist, but...

... please let an asteroid fall out of space and crash down on CPAC 2006.

Thank you.

4. " ...never turning back until the last vote is counted 270 days from now."

:rofl: Where are you now John when we citizens are fighting here in NC to keep DRE Machines out! Giving up our own time and money to appear at Elections Meetings (which are often moved on short notice) and paying for our own printed materials to inform our Legislators about this equipment that none of YOU in the Senate want to TALK ABOUT!

Pssssst........the machines are faulty....Dem voters have been systematically disenfrashised and with HAVA Act mucking up any hope of fair elections ever again the die is cast.

Where were you? Where are you? You told us "until the last vote is counted last time," yet the Ohio votes were never allowed to be counted to the last one. Senators ignored the Conyers report, ignored the GSA Report, ignored Mark Cripin Miller's book and the writings of others since 2000 Election Fraud.

I don't want to hear this any more from any Democrat who hasn't tried to help us activist for fair and honest Verifiable Paper Ballot Voting Machines with OPEN CODE FOR INSPECTION.

There isn't going to be a 2006 Election with a Dem Sweep with these machines in place all over the country. Unless you've got some Dem Hackers who can manage to fix things ...our way...it will be a repeat of 2002 and 20008.

7. Once again there is lawsuit in Ohio

Last I heard there is a lawsuit in Ohio for August 2006 on the machines. Why than? :shrug: Beats me.

5. It's a circle jerk

and ann-the-man is the pivot man!

[second edition]

8. I like this- if we are going to get our message out, we are going

to have to be the ones to do it. The media isn't working for us and in many instances working against us. I like the way Kerry thinks. Of course, like everything else worth achieving it takes hard work and some money. I will be contributing and committing to electing more Dem's in 2006. If you can contribute even a little, please do so, and if not, please find out how you can help our party win in 2006 and do some of the hard work on our behalf.
