John Kerry sent me a funny email

[Melsky]

I'm sure a lot of people got this one. What I thought was funny is it is coming as if written by Kerry, it has his name on the sender's line in my inbox, and it even has a little jpg of his signature.

Then they go and put this at the end:

Kind of a weird thing to put at the end of an email that looks like it came from the candidate. It looks like someone is forging his writing without authorization.

Yes, I know that's just boilerplate language. But I thought it was pretty amusing. I'm going to donate some money when my house gets out of escrow.

Below is the whole letter.

Dear Melsky,

I know how much you have done to help our Party and its candidates and I am writing to tell you that I need you by my side every step of this campaign.

Yesterday, our campaign won impressive victories, winning 9 of 10 states and a sweeping majority of the delegates at stake on the biggest day of our campaign.

This morning, George W. Bush launched his $150 million campaign to try to set the terms of the debate for the general election. The ads he runs will attempt to distract from the miserable record he has built, and the hardships his one-sided, misguided policies have caused the American people.

We have no opportunity to savor yesterday's victories. We must act quickly to respond to tomorrow's challenges.

Will we let the Bush campaign define this election, distorting his record and mine in the process? Or will we carry the momentum of yesterday's enormous victory forward with energy and enthusiasm? You and I both know the answer. Together, we have to fight for every vote and answer every challenge.

Let's roll up our sleeves and go to work. I am confident that, working side by side, we can take on any challenge and win.

Warm regards,

John Kerry

PS: To win, I must have the support of every Democrat. Please forward or print this message and give it to all your friends and family. The real battle starts now and I must have your help to win.
