ATTN: Left-wing extremists! Call Mark Kennedy @ 651-644-2506
Our little Bush Clone in the 6th is using moveon.org to fund raise. This is from his latest mailing:

Dear Supporter,

I want to take a moment to share with you something that has happened the last several weeks that is very troubling and draws a clear contrast for the upcoming U.S. Senate race. On Monday, December 5, Howard Dean the Chairman of the Democratic National Committee said the, “idea that we're going to win the war in Iraq is an idea which is just plain wrong.” (WOAI Website, “Dean: US Won’t Win in Iraq,” Accessed December 5, 2005)

It is astounding to me that the head of the Democrat party would come out and say we cannot win the war… and yet the three Democrat candidates for Senate have remained silent!

I cannot think of a worse message to send the 160,000 brave men and women who are putting their lives on the line to protect our safety and freedom in addition to winning this War on Terror.

Last Friday in Minnesota, President Bush once again clearly delivered the message our troops, the Iraqi people, and the terrorists need to hear: America will not cut and run!

Victory is the only acceptable outcome in fighting the War on Terror. Both President Bush and I are firmly resolved to defeating the terrorists over there, so we don’t have to fight them here. You can listen to President Bush’s speech here.

On November 18, we had a vote in the House to immediately withdraw our troops from Iraq. The proposal was overwhelmingly defeated 3-403. But three weeks ago something changed. The radical group MoveOn.org began circulating a petition calling for an immediate withdrawal of U.S. troops. That same day, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) flip-flopped and said our troops should immediately be withdrawn.

Last week, MoveOn.org brought their out-of-touch agenda to Minnesota to protest my commitment to victory in Iraq. MoveOn.org targeted me for defeat in 2004 and raised tens of thousands of dollars for my opponent and will raise much more to defeat me in my bid for the U.S. Senate.

I will not allow America’s foreign policy, or Minnesota’s U.S. Senate race, to be hijacked by a group of left-wing extremists.

December 31, 2005 marks an important fundraising deadline for my campaign because it is the end of the 4th Quarter reporting period. I’m asking for your help to combat the extreme out-of-state special interest money from MoveOn.org that is again targeting me for defeat. We must not let the Democrats and the liberals out fundraise us!

Please call my campaign office at 651-644-2506 to make a contribution by phone or click here to make a secure contribution online, then forward this message on to your friends and family. Help me send MoveOn.org the message that it’s time to move on from Minnesota!



Warm Regards,



Mark

1. I like this quote:
"I will not allow America’s foreign policy, or Minnesota’s U.S. Senate race, to be hijacked by a group of left-wing extremists."

If I called his office, all I could do is tell him I stood out in the cold for two hours protesting him and his boss, and that I signed and helped deliver MoveOn petitions last week. I would say: I will not allow my country by be hijacked by corporate whores, imperialists, people who trample on the constitution, people who have murdered 100,000-plus innocent people, people who have nearly bankrupted out country.

But what is the point?

2. It does seem daunting, doesn't it?
I don't know where people get the energy from.

4. So, Mark Kennedy ,are you going to smear Sen. Chuck Hagle too??
Sen. Chuck Hagle (R-Nebraska) said that "the White House is completely disconnected from reality ... The reality is that we're losing in Iraq."
http://itismyopinion.blogspot.com/2005/06/saloncom-news-dissent-within-ranks.html
The Klobuchar/Wetterling/Bell campaigns should be pressing Kennedy to
smear/slime/swiftboat Senator Hagle as well.
They should also press Marky on why none of his offspring are signing
up to go to Iraq. Why can't his kids go fight and die and get limbs blown off?
Why is it always someone elses kids?


Peace!
Octave
