the Berman Letter--respond

[whirlygigspin]

Pass this message on to friends and other Dean supporters. We need to let these Representatives know that we, their supporters at the grassroots,don't appreciate their uncalled for attacks.
We need thousands of replies.

- Keep the pressure on. Ask for an apology. These are attacks motivated by pure politics.

That's them folks. Get this list out there please.

Something to keep in mind, even as you're writing your own letters, is that what these people are expressing outrage is the idea that the US should be a fair negotiator in peace talks. Attacking fair mediation is not only ridiculous, it's harmful to the Middle East Peace Process. If one side doesn't trust us, no one can walk away a winner. To that extent, those who would demand a biased negotiator are, in effect, demanding more violence in the future.

That's the last thing we need.
