     Dear john,  <http://www.democrats.org/stopattackingruss> That's what
Republicans want you to think. They are so scared of having a legitimate
debate about Iraq or national security that they have only one reaction to
news of their failures or calls for accountability. On Monday, Democratic
Senator Russ Feingold introduced legislation to censure the President for
breaking the law by creating a secret domestic spying program. Agree or
disagree with his proposal, as a Senator -- and as an American -- he has the
right to speak his mind and express his views without Republican Senators
questioning his patriotism. But that's exactly what happened. This week
Republican Senator Wayne Allard of Colorado, in an interview with Fox News
radio, said in response to Feingold's action that he has "time and time
again [sided] with the terrorists". Send a message to Senator Allard: shame
on him for questioning the patriotism of another Senator. Sign this petition
and it will be delivered to Allard:
http://www.democrats.org/stopattackingruss Agree or disagree with Russ
Feingold's censure resolution, it is completely out of bounds to suggest
that anyone demanding accountability is siding with terrorists. It is simply
un-American to question the patriotism and loyalty of a Senator who wants
the Congress to live up to its responsibility. We've heard this cowardly
nonsense from Republican leaders before. They attacked decorated Veteran and
Democratic Rep. Jack Murtha for getting real on Iraq. They attacked
Democratic Leader Harry Reid for shutting down the Senate to demand answers
about manipulated pre-war intelligence. They have ended the careers of
generals who questioned Bush Administration talking points, and they even
attack their own when respectable Republicans speak out on the disaster this
administration has created in Iraq and its failure to close the gaps in our
security here at home. And time and again, the Republican controlled
congress has consistently failed to conduct real oversight of the
Administration, choosing instead to protect the Administration. But polls
show that nearly 70% of Americans reject this president and the Republican
Congress that has failed to hold him accountable. And together we will hold
Republicans accountable at the ballot box this year. That's why the
Democratic Party is putting the infrastructure on the ground now to fight in
all 50 states. People everywhere are saying "enough is enough" -- and we
will be ready to organize and fight everywhere with your help. Please
contribute whatever you can to make it happen:

Republicans will only stop when we fight back, and 2006 is the time to do
it. Thank you, Governor Howard Dean, M.D.
