Thursday, Jan. 4, 2001 -- SAINT PAUL, MINNESOTA -- Dear APJ Readers:
The following is a document from our friends over at Democrats.com.
It seems that a lot of us have been burning up the phone lines
in order to stiffen
the spines of the wussy Senate Dems. However, more spine-stiffening
is in order.
To assist in that goal, I have the following suggestion:
When you call your Democratic Senator today, make your pitch for
the 25 reasons to
reject the illegally-certified Florida electoral slate. But add
in words to this effect:
"Senator, I know you are being bombarded
by both the GOP and
their media lackeys to 'unite' with
them (translation: knuckle under to them).
"Senator, let me remind you: They didn't vote for you. I did.
"Remember, the very folks who put you
in office are the ones who are the most determined
to fight the Republican coup.
We are the ones who sat by and watched as GOPers Reagan
and Bush the Elder shoved their
poisonous right-wing nominees down our throats in exchange
for our 'uniting' with them in
the 1980s. We also watched as the GOP, with the corporate
conservative media's tacit approval,
viciously fought against every single nomination
put up by Bill Clinton. NEVER
AGAIN.
"Yes, there are lots of opinion polls
out there that say that only 20
to 25 percent of all Americans think
we were robbed. But, when
you filter out the 50% of Americans
who couldn't be bothered to
vote (much less vote for you), and the
24% who voted Republican,
the numbers show that over 70% of all
Democrats who actually
voted -- who actually CARED enough to
exercise their franchise --
do not want to see their elected Democratic
representative give an
INCH to this illegal Banana Republican
junta."
Got it? Good. Happy dialing!
