"Fact is the Liberal faction of the Democrat Party is intent on bringing America down at any cost unless we allow them to control. The Democrat Party is fast becoming the largest terrorist group in America. They should rename themselves the American Communist Party."

I like your assessment of the democrat party.

May I borrow it?

From time to time I receive brocures from local democrats running for political office. When they give a e-mail address I respond and tell them the reason that I will not vote for a democrat. That is when your assessment of the democrat party would be good to use.

"....Southwest would be returned to Mexico...."

Look for it to happen. Sometime in the future. Kosovo set the precedent. Other than "free money" that is the reason Mexico encourages so many of its citizens to illegally to enter California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. We may not live to see it but sooner or later the u.n. is going to do the same thing that they did in the Balkans.

This is only one reason to get the U.S. out of the u.n. and the u.n. out of the U.S. if we are going to survive as a sovern Nation.

"We have enough votes to sustain our position," Daschle said.

Guess they like being in the Minority Party.

Kind of Ironic, isn't it....Daschle doesn't even see himself as being positioned as the Democrats Newt Gingrich...(Think Senate Shutdown)

All of this is about the first opening that will be coming up for Bush to fill on the Supreme Court. If the ferocity of the Dems opposition to the Estrada nominatiom is sufficient to make Bush and the men around him flinch and propose a "moderate" to fill the vacancy; then the Dems will have won.

Let's hope he is as stalwart at that moment as he is in foreign affairs.

Good letter. I've been contacting Graham and Nelson by phone and e-mail, though it's clear the Dems. have chosen - unwisely - to ignore justice and follow the lies of the far-left PFAW. So, I spend more time giving our Republicans support. DC is enemy territory. Between the leftist special interests and the media, those fighting the Rats on Capitol Hill need our support like never before.

My letter to our GOP fighters:

Thank you for standing up for Miguel Estrada. I want you to know that Americans are watching and praying for you at home!

 

I know that you hear angry threats from the many activists on the left, led by Pfaw and the DNC, but mainstream America is on your side - and Miguel's.

 

Please LET the Democrats filibuster. Go straight to your constituents with the facts, the truth of Miguel's honor and fitness to serve. If AP, ABC, NBC, CBS, NY Times choose to ignore the GOP again, we can help.

 

Here in Florida during the 2002 election, AP and Gannet provided most election news to our local TV and print news outlets. They regularly ignored Jeb's many accomplishments and endorsements while printing McBride opinion as "news"- while covering up McBride scandal, and the far left groups backing him.

 

We researched, had the facts on our honorable Governor, went to our media first, then straight to our neighbors - and it worked. We armed the people with the truth.

 

We're doing it now, along side you in your Senate fight for Miguel Estrada, President Bush's agenda, and our nation.

 

Please, know you aren't alone.

 

Stand firm for Miguel. Go to the press often with press releases - and to the people. We'll do our best to get it out there.

 

Hold daily press conferences on the steps of the Capitol and call the press. The people will hear you.

 

Thank you for having the courage and willingness to serve.

 

There are armies of us across mainstream America following your efforts on behalf of Miguel.

 

To paraphrase Wiston Churchill, "Never, never, never, never give up!"

 

Churchill also said, appropriately for these times, "If you are going through hell, keep going."- and, "An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last."

 

Keep the faith! We're with you!

Fact is the Liberal faction of the Democrat Party is intent on bringing America down at any cost unless we allow them to control. The Democrat Party is fast becoming the largest terrorist group in America.

This is our greatest threat. They would rather cripple the country than accept minority status. The party of all the 'minorities' cannot stand being in second place. They have no vestige of patriotism or love for America.

And the threat they pose to our future is magnitudes of times greater than anything that duct tape and plastic sheeting could shield against.

And the threat they pose to our future is magnitudes of times greater than anything that duct tape and plastic sheeting could shield against.

And so I say, bring on the filibuster. Let them talk until they become a footnote in history. The last gasp of the "party of the people" (choke)

EXCELLENT letter and a great idea to let the GOP members know we're with them all the way - thanks.
