Dear ,
George Bush has failed our country. And our top priority between now and November must be making absolutely certain that the American people hold him accountable.
This administration will say anything to avoid responsibility for the massive mistakes it has made. But John Kerry is our candidate, and he will not let them hide -- and you can help by supporting his campaign now:
George Bush cannot be trusted to tell the truth. He misled us about Iraq and his administration's paranoid secrecy cuts the public off from information about our government's actions. He would not testify under oath to the September 11th commission -- and could not even meet it in private without Dick Cheney's supervision.
He cannot be trusted with our safety. George Bush has thrown away 60 years of America's moral leadership in the world and left us in weak isolation. He has stretched our military dangerously thin by rushing into Iraq, and by sending National Guard and Reserve troops to join them, left our homeland unprotected.
And George Bush simply cannot be trusted with our future. The millions of jobs lost have weakened our economy. Tens of millions of uninsured have weakened our health. And his attempts to divide us by race, gender and sexual orientation are weakening the fabric of our society.
The first step to making America strong again is electing John Kerry. We're putting up the bat to get George Bush out of office and help Senator Kerry take his message to the American people:
We had a spirited primary season this year. But differences between Democrats are nothing compared the fundamental difference between our agenda and that of the right-wing ideologues who are destroying this country.
Our campaign was based on the idea that the power to change this country is in the hands of the American people. Right now, we must come together not only as Democrats, but as Americans, to support the campaign to beat George W. Bush.
Thank you for your support.
Governor Howard Dean M.D.
