OT DNC in Panic mode over Washington State

Dear Democratic Friend:

Governor Christine Gregoire was sworn in months ago in Washington
State-- the Republican Secretary of State certified her victory, and
she's been governing for over 100 days.

Her race was close -- that's why, immediately after the election, they
conducted an initial machine recount. Then, even though the Washington
State Democratic Party had to pay for it (which they did with your
help), they conducted a hand recount to make sure that every legal
vote was protected and counted.

But guess what -- the Republican who lost the election still won't
admit defeat. He's struggling to seize power and stay in the headlines
by holding press conferences, running ads and filing junk lawsuits. He
has even publicly released lists of people he thinks shouldn't have
been allowed to vote and accused others of being convicted felons --
only to find that his lists contained registered, legal voters every
time.

The Democratic Party in Washington needs to beat back this assault on
their elected governor.


As Governor Dean works with state party chairs across the country to
give them the resources they need to build for the future, we can't
lose sight of the battles being fought on the ground right now.

I know that Governor Dean asked for your financial support just a
couple of weeks ago. Thousands of people like you responded -- putting
staff and resources on the ground in our first four states and
accelerating the pace of our program to build a long-term presence
everywhere. Thanks to you we'll be able to announce the next group of
states shortly.

But we can't fall into the trap of diverting resources from our
long-term goals -- we have to find a way to meet urgent needs at the
same time.

That's why I'm asking you to step up and help the Washington State
Party now. No one anticipated the Republicans would lose the election
and mount a reckless and absurd campaign for months after. The state
party needs resources to keep its team going -- to keep fighting back
in public and in the courtroom.


As you watch the situation in Washington State unfold, you can't help
but see the similarity to what's going on in Washington, D.C. -- when
the Republicans don't win they try to change the rules.

Here, Senate Republicans want to change the rules so they can silence
Democrats and exercise absolute power. And House Republicans changed
the ethics rules to protect their leader, Tom DeLay, whose corruption
and influence peddling schemes seem to unravel more every day.

Republican leaders in Congress and their operatives in the states are
out of touch and out of control. And with the least popular
second-term president ever, their desperate abuses of power will only
get more extreme.

We need to stop them in their tracks now so we can get back to the
people's business:



Thank you.

Tom McMahon
Executive Director, Democratic National Committee

Scott,

What I'd suggest you do is head up there to Washington State and see how
you can Help Out.
Don't wait. The future of These United States depends on you.

Good Luck and Gawdspeed.

Too cold...now that just sounds like some kind of limp-wristed Neocon
not willing
to do What It Takes to Make a Difference For the Future of Our Country!
Come on, Scott!
You believe in federal intervention over states' rights, right? I mean,
you were all over the Terri Schiavo case,
right? Somebody needs to head up there, and you can't sit back and wait
for somebody
else to do your work, can you? How could you live with yourself? Huh?

When you realize that most of these LLL's are just trolls, it's easy
to ignore 'em.

Nobody could seriously believe the nonsense they spew and still
possess any degree of personal character.

This was just a fund raising tactic of the DNC. I sure the Republicans send
out similar emails to raise funds. Don't you have anything better to do?

Talking about personal character, in his press conference tonight Bushy
blamed the failure to have an energy policy 10 years ago for today's high
oil prices. Somehow he missed his administration and his daddy's
administration but instead had to blame Clinton. What an a__hole.

Ask him about the flyer sent by the RNC that stated "If The Democrats
Win, They Will Ban The Bible". It had a "Watchtower" like drawing of
two men embracing each other, and a bible with a big line through it.

Good stuff. And here I thought Scott was savvy enough to figure that
one out on his own.

This is fact, well known for many years. Clinton never developed any
energy policy. Everybody was after him to do it, but it never got done.
He was too busy in the cloak room with his cuban cigar.
