Fundraisng letter from James Carville/DNC & my response

[katinmn]

Many of you will be receiving an email from James Carville on behalf of the DNC. I love James Carville but the DNC is gonna have to change before I give any more money.

Here's my comment to the DNC:

I am a progressive Democrat. Before I get back on board and again give money and work for Democratic candidates, I am going to wait and see if the PDA and all the state progressive caucuses are brought to the leadership table.

I want the DNC to focus on election, media, education and environmental policy reforms as well as a plan for getting out of Iraq.

We saw that raising more money and spending money on zillions of ads does not win elections.

Democrats need to define themselves as the party that stands for fiscal responsibility and civil and human rights.

Millions of progressives approached the 2004 election with passion and gave and gave and gave. Yet, the party did not advance our message and values to the public.

I respect the leaders like Dean, Kucinich, Conyers and Boxer that have stood up for American people. The DNC needs to tell us that they will put all of its support behind them and encourage other progressives to lead.

Thank you.

2. The last one I got

Was from Terry McCauliffe, and I gave him an earfull. I told him when you DLC assholes are out of power, I'll donate again.

4. I think I got that one, too. I was so depressed at the time

that I didn't even have the energy to respond.

5. Not one thin dime to the likes of Carville and his DLC(R) pals.

I got the letter and pre-emptively trashed it as soon as I saw who it was from.

8. You wrote a great line...

Democrats need to define themselves as the party that stands for fiscal responsibility and civil and human rights.

I hope they listen to you and put out that message.

The Rapturist Right that has taken over my party which now stands for socially regressive and fiscally irresponsible...
:grr:

9. Thanks. I think true Republicans are just as unhappy with the

neocon/theocon takeover as any Democrat.

12. On my solicitation letter I took a sharpie and wrote in big letters:

You will not receive another PENNY from me until you STAND UP FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE...NOT THE CORPORATE FATCATS!!!!

I'm sure they won't give a shit.
