Message from Terry McAuliffe,,and my response

[zeemike]

I am sure most of you folks got this in the mail today:

Dear (zeemike),
Your response to Washington Governor candidate Christine Gregoire's plea for help has been overwhelming. Thanks to your generosity, the recount in Washington will now go forward. With only 42 votes separating Gregoire and her Republican opponent, today we can ensure that every ballot is accurately counted. This could not have happened without you.

But we aren't stopping there. After consulting with our Voting Rights Institute staff, Voting Protection Coordinators, Ohio legal team, Party activists, supporters, elected officials, and others, and after reviewing available information, the Democratic National Committee has decided to conduct a thorough investigation of key election issues arising from the conduct of the 2004 general election in Ohio.
This investigative study will address the legitimate questions and concerns that have been raised in Ohio and will develop factual information that will be critically important in crafting further key election reforms. This project seeks to answer such questions as:
· Why did so many people have to wait in line in certain Ohio precincts and not others?
· Why weren't there enough machines in some counties and not others?
· Why were so many Ohioans forced to cast provisional ballots?
We will find answers to help implement and advocate reforms in the future.
Let me be clear. We do not expect either the recount in Ohio or our investigation to overturn the results of this election.

1. And my response

I object to this attitude.

“Let me be clear. We do not expect either the recount in Ohio or our investigation to overturn the results of this election”

This is not the attitude of a party that wants to win anything.

The proper attitude of a winning party is one like this;

” Let me be clear. We expect either the recount in Ohio or our investigation to show improper behavior or outright fraud whether it does or does not overturn the results of this election.”

I do not wish to be in a party that is good and conceding.

2. Good, I hope they wrote me

so I can tell them exactly what I think about their silence until now, and that they better not expect a penny from me. I have sent them and Kerry Hundreds for this election -on my credit card, I haven't worked in almost 3 years so this was not pocket change for me. The one thing that makes me happy is that the bank(credit card) are repubs so i was borrowing from them to beat b***.

3. I sent them hundreds too

But I never expected them to act like this.
And a hundred bucks is a lot of money for me.
