My Letter to Daschle:

To the Honorable Tom Daschle:

Senator Daschle,

When the Senate was divided 50/50 after the 2000 elections the Republicans still held the majority by virtue of Vice President Cheney being the tie breaking vote, The then Senate Majority Leader, (Trent Lott), agreed to split the funding for the Committee’s with the Democrats as a gesture of good will. In return, you aggressively went after someone to switch parties and give the Democrats the majority. You managed to get Jim Jeffords to become an independent and coffer with the Democrats with a variety of promises and back room deals. You then became the majority leader in what many think was highly questionable and illegitimate fashion. I guess your guilty conscience persuaded you to keep the funding split 50/50 as you spent the next 15 months doing your very best to obstruct legislative progress and blocked over 50 Bills from being debated and voted on.

The Mid-Term Elections in November 2002 should have sent you and your party a clear message that the American people wanted to see things get done in the 108th Congress. In Case you missed it, YOU LOST and your party is no longer in the Majority. Bill Frist is the legitimate (emphasis added) Majority Leader and does not owe you a thing and I encourage him to ignore your ”OUTRAGEOUS” demands. For two long years this country has had to suffer because of your inability to do the job you were elected to do and I hope the good people of South Dakota send you the same message many of your colleagues received on November 6th, 2002 and adds you to the long list of unemployed in this country, thanks to your obstructionist tactics.

Tom Daschle I urge you to cease and suspend this childish maneuvering and do the job the people have elected you to do.

.

Sincerely,

A Concerned American

Praise God.

You should send that letter to every single Senator.

We will win this. Frist isnt gonna cowtow to'em. More importantly the President and Rove are no doubt behind the scenes talking with the Republic Leadership.

Rush said all we have to do is...

Sit down with Hastert and Delay and decide that Linda Daschle lobbies for...everything ...the Republicans in the House will kill it....completely with prejudice.

Great letter.

Your sentence above is THE reason this obstructionism on the part of the 'rats will backfire bigtime. The American people do not like gridlock, in particular when it involves procedural wrangling. There is no way for even the lib media to cause the blame for this to accrue to the Republicans.
