FWD: It's Time To Support Those Who Always Support Us

[Padme Amidala]

This is an email I received from the Patrick Henry Democratic Club. It contains an important message regarding making sure we protect our strongest supporters in Congress. I understand that some of these representatives have challengers with millions of dollars ready to try to steal their seats in the next election.


Subject It's time to support those who always support us

This year we have repeatedly asked members of Congress to vote our way
on a great many important items. Ten members of Congress have listened
to us and have been there and voted the way we have asked them to vote
on every major issue. These brave individuals are our first defense in
the fight against tyranny and oppression. While many members of
Congress have supported mega-corporations and war profiteers over us,
these ten have shown that they would rather do the correct thing than
pull in the big bucks for doing the wrong thing.

The Patrick Henry Democratic Club encourages all Democrats to support
and contribute to the following people who never fail to put us first.
Let’s let them know how much we appreciate their support. Let’s let
all members of Congress know that there are higher rewards in backing
the people than in backing the interests of mega-corporations. Please
contribute as much as you can to the courageous individuals on the
following list. Every dollar counts when some of these people will be
up against corporate-backed candidates in 2006.

1. Thanks for the Linlks ....

2. Gwen Moore

is who will get my support.

[genius]

5. I guess you like Star Wars , funding wars and PATRIOT III.

She's OK on some bills and actually has a score of +60 . Personally, I'm opposed to star wars, to funding Haliburton and Patriot III (the Real Death Camp Act). At least your choice is not as bad as most of the members of the House.

[LittleClarkie]

7. She's the first black congresswoman from our state and a good lady

I will work to make sure the Dems in my state keep their jobs. You do the same in your state.

3. Terrible scores for Obama (-20) and Clinton (-18)

...although neither is as appalling as Lieberman (-135).

But the telling fact is that most Dem Senators are in negative numbers. Thanks, right wing Democrats--you really know how to vote like Republicans!

4. Boxer's got the best score

in the senate (60), followed by Dayton (40), Harkin (40), Kennedy (40), Kerry (42.5), and Levin (40).

[genius]

6. And it's goes along with that that Boxer received the most votes

of any Senator in history. Courage does pay off.

8. kick

[BeFree]

9. You do know...

...these best of the best will be singled out by the pukes for punishment, right? Paul Wellstone, before his untimely death was singled out. There have been others who have been taken down. We should do what we can to make sure these leaders are protected. Let's hope Dean works to encircle them in the most protective cocoon he can.

[genius]

10. That's why we've got to support them. That's what they've risked for us.

I'm going to see how much I can afford to donate to these individuals.

[Albert Einstein]

11. We should consider backing some of these for U.S. Senate

There are openings next year in a number of these states.

[Constitution]

12. Or President

At least we know where they stand on the issues.
