Dear Senator Tom Daschle,

I was very distressed to hear that you feel Talk Radio Listeners are sending you threats. This goes against most of the conversations I've had with conservatives, Republicans, and talk radio fans. Most feel deeply gratified for the leadership and direction you've supplied to the Democratic Party over the last couple of years (particularly this last, fruitful month).

In fact, if it were possible for voters to elect you "Senate Minority Leader For Life," there would be many, many crossover votes from registered Republicans to assure your continued political career.

I for one, am deeply thankful for your continued presence in the Senate. I truly hope that these implied threats pass quickly. I hope that you, and those around you, may choose to exercise your second amendment rights to protect yourselves.

If you still feel the need for further security, remember there are many, many conservative citizens who will probably volunteer their time and expertise to insure that you stay in your present position for as long as humanly possible.

Sincerely,

a talk show fan.
