Last Chance to Speak Up

04/05/2005

Dear DFL Member and Supporters,

Stop Senate Republicans from silencing all opposition. Sign our petition today:

http://www.democrats.org/freespeech

On Wednesday, the Democratic Party and our allies will deliver petitions signed by more than 1 million Americans who oppose the Republican abuse of power in the Senate.

Today is the last day to have your name included—add your name now:

This fight is about more than any single issue. They want to throw out the rules and give themselves total control—to remove all checks on their corporate pandering or ideological crusades.

And this fight isn’t just about today’s legislation—with total control, the fringe GOP leadership will distort the federal judiciary for a generation by giving lifetime appointments to unqualified political hacks and hardcore ideologues.

There is no issue more urgent than this one—please join over a million of us who will be heard on Wednesday:

Civil liberties, voting rights, a woman’s right to choose, equality in education, environmental protections—all the values we hold dear are at grave risk.

The fringe Republican leadership is out of control.

But their unprecedented power grab has been matched by an unprecedented backlash from ordinary Americans who don’t want their representatives silenced.

You can be one of us:

Your petition will be delivered to Senator Bill Frist, the Republican leader, and to key Senators who will decide this issue.

The rest of the team and I are beginning to print hundreds of thousands of messages from all over the country to deliver Wednesday.

Please add your name before it’s too late. We have to take this stand together—now—because if we don’t, we may not be able to take a stand on any of the other issues that matter to us so much.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Josh McConaha & the DNC Internet Team
