Getting Personal - A Green

Getting Personal - A Green party acquaintance of mine forwarded this to me.

From: The Executive Committee Against Uppity Citizens
Subject: Please don't vote.

Dear friend,

On behalf of Shell, Mobil, and Exxon; Boeing, Lockheed-Martin, and GE; all
the Enrons, Halliburtons, and Harkens; President Bush, Vice President
Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and the other CEOs of the Cabinet; and thousands of
us who are working for a better life for the wealthiest Americans, we have
one simple request: Could you please just stay home tomorrow?

See, we have things to do. Nations to invade. Wetlands to destroy. Oil to
drill. Courts to pack. Corporate taxes to cut.

What's frustrating for us is that we're coming up against some pretty stiff
resistance. We've spent hundreds of millions of dollars to secure the
Senate, but it looks like we just may lose it. Heck, we may even lose the
House. We don't quite get what it is about our agenda that you people don't
like, but it's clear that this time, you may be upset enough to actually do
something about it.

That's why we're writing this message to you today. Please don't vote. Ask
your friends not to vote. What could the harm be in sitting this round out?
If you could just stay home on Election Day, we can get back to the
important business of running the nation for you, and we won't have to
bother you again.

Thank you,
The Executive Committee Against Uppity Citizens

Remember when I talked about the hatred so many mainstream DFLers feel for Republicans?

This campaign is way too personal.

Go Norm and Tim P(awlenty).
