My LTTE...will this convince any Republicans to vote for Democrats? [View All]

I'm planning to send this letter to my local newspaper. There is a 250 word limit and the letter can't endorse any particular candidate. Feel free to make comments. And thanks! :patriot:


To the Editor:
This is a plea to those who voted for Bush in 2000 and/or 2004 and are experiencing “buyer’s remorse”, those Republicans who are disgusted and appalled by the lies and corruption in our Republican-controlled political system.

Please don’t stay at home and refuse to participate rather than vote for a Democrat. Our political system is dysfunctional because one party controls everything and will do and say anything to retain that control. It has been said that “absolute power corrupts absolutely”; we simply have to look at the current state of affairs to see how true that is.

Democrats have been demonized by people who will say anything to stay in power. Please understand that if these people would lie about war, and cover up for sexual predators, they just might not be telling the truth about Democrats. Try to learn as much as you can about ALL the candidates running in your district before dismissing the Democrats out of hand. Then if you must vote for their Republican opponents, you’ll be making a more informed decision.

If you care about the health of this country, please don’t abstain from voting in November. And don’t vote a straight Republican ticket simply because you always have. Help bring some balance back to our political system by voting for Democrats, even if it’s the first time you ever have. Your country will thank you. And, by putting the interests of your country before party loyalty, you will truly be a patriot.
