To our fellow Americans:
We have given much thought to the values and characteristics that make a great athlete. Our lives have been spent trying to run farther, push further, and jump higher than the person beside us, or across the field of our chosen sport. With years of training and exhaustive competition beneath our belts, we have identified the values necessary to compete and win--values like personal strength, determination, a sense of fair play and faith.
The same qualities that make a great athlete make a great President--the determination to do what is right, regardless of the latest polls, the personal strength to bear the weight of the nation on your shoulders, and the faith that a higher power will direct the actions of good people.
We see in President Bush these same qualities.
In 2001, our nation was attacked without cause or provocation. The President's values saw us through those dark days after the terrorist attack. The economy was rocked by the dual blows of the terrorists' cowardly action and the reckless disregard of the rules by a few rogue executives. But President Bush's decisive, principled leadership has moved America forward, and today our nation is safer and our economy is strong and getting stronger.
The fight against terrorism takes decisiveness. It takes continued support for our troops and first responders. But most importantly, it takes courage and inspirational leadership in the White House. In these critical times, our President has had the courage to stand up and do what's right.
For that and for his unwavering character, we choose George W. Bush as our President for the next four years. He is a leader we can depend on to make the tough decisions and the right decisions. Please join us in supporting a candidate of courage, President Bush--a leader who backs our troops defending our nation and shares our values.
Sincerely,
I would include Coach Landry as an all-time personal hero along with Roger Staubach.
He was my whiny Twinkie second baseman first. T.K. may have been a little bit hard on him, but he just cannot field worth a damn.
I would love to view the list but the server is temporarily out of service. Are the DUmmies at it again?
Bob Feller passed away.
Abbott: Who are you playing in your first game?
Costello: The Cleveland Indians.
Abbott: The Cleveland Indians, huh? Feller pitching?
Costello: Of course there's a fella pitching. Who do you think they'd use, a girl?
Yeah, it's too bad Ernie Banks and Craig Biggio didn't sign it either. Nor my childhood idol Roger Staubach. I was also hoping to see Bernie Kosar and Nolan Ryan on that list too. ;)
This is an awesome line up. I would bet on these guys against whatever line up Kerry could muster: Michael Moore, Franken, Garafalo, Jesse Jackson, Carville, Begala, etc.
Ernie Banks and Bob Feller ..... OLD SCHOOL PROPS!
The 1976 East German women's swim team, the US women's shot put team, Greg Louganis. Did I leave anyone out?
I heard Rush announce this on his show Thursday. Quite a fine endorsement for the POTUS.

WHO'S GOT GAME?
that's true, it's just hard to route against the guy now.
Where's my man Brett Favre? Me seems like a Bush kind of guy!!
FLASHBACK: SEPT 29, 2000
-- Republican presidential nominee George W. Bush and his entourage crashed the Packers' closed practice while campaigning in town on Thursday. Sherman seemed vaguely irritated at the surprise visit, but was understanding. Bush threw a short, wobbly pass to TE Bubba Franks, who also hails from Texas. A quote from QB Brett Favre: "He can get Bubba to catch and run the right route." Favre gave Bush a team jacket and said "Thanks for getting me out of practice."
Although I'm a lifetime Cardinal fan, if the Astro's win game 7, I'll feel even better about rooting for them after seeing this letter.
GO ASTROS! A Texas vs Massachusetts World series would be a perfect storybook ending to this election! The astros are just the team to make Kerry stop feeling so "Giddy"!!
Unfortunately Mia Hamm has come out for Kerry.
Great to see my old hometown guys Rapid Robert and Bernie on there as well as an old enemy, Lynn Swann. And Mr. Cub right at the top - what more can you ask for ?!?!?
