Send your Congressperson a letter like this:

Dear Rep./Sen. ,

According to the New York Times, presidential advisor Karl Rove recently said that liberals in this country want our troops to die.

As a liberal, I find this deeply offensive. I don't feel this is the sort of rhetoric our country needs during wartime, and I resent the idea that I want any of our troops to come to harm. In making such statements Mr. Rove is not only impugning my politics, he is degrading my basic humanity.

As a constituent of yours, I would like to know, , if you agree with Mr. Rove's statements. Does he speak for you?

Sincerely,




The first person to get a response back that distances the congressman/woman from Rove's statements will get their good work recognized here when we post the entire e-mail on the blog.

I'm sure they're out there. We just have to find them.

Go.

3. I just wrote my Con-man

I changed the letter up a bit, so that it wouldn't sound exactly like the sample posted. Probably Boozman will say Rove's words were "taken out of context" or something else equally condescending, but if I get a reply, I'll post it on this thread, which I will bookmark.

5. Done

I just sent a note saying as a liberal I was disgusted and reminded them that NYC was mostly liberal and if they didn't care about their families, friends etc. and I asked for Karl Rove to be fired and asked if Rove spoke for them.

7. Can I borrow a Congressman?

I live in MA, and besides getting themselves elected president, my representation does what I want them to do.

Who has a moderate R, or one who hasn't had their sense of shame surgically removed, that I can write to? I'll say I'm only in Boston for college but I really live in their district!!
