[Behind Liberal Lines]

Here's the email I sent Sen. Lott using the freemail address you provided:

Dear Senator Lott:

Congratulations on your upcoming return to the role of Senate Majority Leader. It is a role you should have had for the last two years. And would have, if not for Sen. Jim Jeffords's remarkably unprincipled decision to reject the Republicans who elected him and join with Senate Democrats to undermine our President.

I see now, however that, according to the Washington Times, "the election results were barely in before Mr. Jeffords' office put out feelers to his former party's leaders. The message? That the Vermonter would be happy to caucus with the GOP -- so long as he retained his committee chairmanship."

With all due respect, Senator Jeffords made his decision. He cost our party, our President and our nation two years of Senate gridlock. As Gary Bauer put it, "Now he can build character while being part of the new Senate Democrat minority."

I urge you, as one loyal republican to another, to please not allow Sen. Jeffords, regardless of his party affiliation, a role in the Republican leadership.

Thank you for your consideration.

no strong enough ... if Jeffords comes back the only committee assignments he can be given are those slots that otherwise would go to Democrats ... then ask Dashle how many slots he wants to give to old pal Jeffords. lol.
