Support the Winner of the Democratic Primary in Connecticut
Senator Reid, thank you for presenting President Bush with a timetable for ending the War on Iraq. I did not think you could accomplish this given the slight majority Democrats hold in the US Senate. I really appreciate your leadership today.
Please make every effort to ensure the bill reaches the President's desk with a clear timetable for troop withdrawal. Thank you for your continued efforts to hold this President accountable for his actions.

Harry Reid, why would you choose Senator Joe Lieberman to give the response to President Bush's radio address on March 3rd? This is a real insult to Democrats nationwide who worked hard to elect Connecticut's Democratic nominee in November. Choosing Joe Lieberman only makes me wonder whether you've even read this Senate's organizing resolution -- it won't allow the GOP to take over committees if Joe switches parties.
LIeberman won't investigate Katrina contracting.
Lieberman won't investigate Iraq war-profiteering.
Lieberman supports Bush's War on Iraq -- and the SURGE!
We're tired of DeeCee Democrats acting like Joe Lieberman is a Democrat. Let him switch, Senator Reid -- he'll be more useful to Democrats as a real Republican! And don't let him speak for our party again, please.

RENO, NEVADA AND NEW YORK - FOX News, the Nevada Democratic Party and the Western Majority Project have jointly announced that they will host a 2008 presidential debate, which is expected to attract the top Democratic contenders for President. The debate will be presented live on FOX News Channel (FNC) and FOX News Radio on August 14, 2007 in Reno.
In making the announcement, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) said, "This is more great news for Nevada. I'm happy FOX News will be a partner for the August presidential debate. Western issues will be a major focus of this debate in particular. With FOX News as our partner, candidates will have an opportunity to not only speak to Nevada voters, but voters across the West who will be instrumental to electing a Democratic president in 2008."

Leader Reid, we beseech you: now that Joe Lieberman has gone beyond breaking his pledge to you and is actually campaigning with GOP Governor Rell and GOP Congressional candidate Simmons, the time has come. You simply MUST stand up for Democrats everywhere and strip Joe of his committee seats, subcommittee ranking status, and membership in the Democratic Senate Caucus. He's lied and he's backstabbed you and us -- and will do so right up to Election Day 11/7. STOP HIM NOW, sir. PLEASE LEAD your party.
Dear Leader Reid:
The time for ego-stroking, loyalty, and friendship has passed. Joe Lieberman, in echoing Dick Cheney today, has gone over to the Dark Side. Senator Reid, please use your influence to tell Joe to get out of the Connecticut race. His "candidacy" is a distraction. He is speaking against Democrats. He is corrupting the narrative on which Democrats can win this fall.
Please tell him: "Joe, ya gotta go!"

Joe Lieberman and his Rovian friends are the unpopular extremists. The "get-out-of-the-Iraq-quagmire position" is popular. Please amplify this message. The majority of the electorate will be with you, if you let people know you are with them. The national security issue boogeyman is dead, dead, dead.
Just to give you a summary, the GOP loses on the answers to the following questions, summing across multiple polls:
"Do you approve or disapprove of the way Bush is handling the situation in Iraq?"
"Which political party - the Democrats or the Republicans - do you trust to do a better job handling the situation in Iraq?"
"If a candidate for Congress supports the Bush Administration's policies in Iraq, would that make you more likely to support that candidate for Congress, more likely to oppose that candidate, or wouldn't it make much difference in your vote?"
"All in all, considering the costs to the United States versus the benefits to the United States, do you think the war with Iraq was worth fighting, or not?"
"Do you think the number of U.S. military forces in Iraq should be increased, decreased, or kept about the same?"
"Would you describe Iraq as currently in a civil war, not in a civil war but close to one, or is the situation less severe than that?"
"Do you think the Bush Administration does or does not have a clear plan for handling the situation in Iraq?" "Do you approve or disapprove of the way George W. Bush is handling the situation in Iraq?"
"Do you favor or oppose the U.S. war with Iraq?"
"Do you think the U.S. should withdraw SOME troops from Iraq by the end of the year, or do you think the U.S. should keep the SAME NUMBER of troops in Iraq through the end of the year?" If "Withdraw": "Do you think the U.S. should withdraw ALL troops from Iraq by the end of the year, or do you think the U.S. should keep SOME troops in Iraq through the end of the year?"
"Which comes closer to your view about U.S. troops in Iraq? The U.S. should set a timetable for withdrawal by announcing that it will remove all of its troops from Iraq by a certain date. The U.S. should keep troops in Iraq as long as necessary without setting any timetable for withdrawal."
"Which comes closer to your view about the war in Iraq? You think the U.S. will DEFINITELY win the war in Iraq. You think the U.S. will PROBABLY win the war in Iraq. You think the U.S. CAN win the war in Iraq, but you don't think it WILL win. OR, You do not think the U.S. CAN win the war in Iraq."
"Do you approve or disapprove of the way George W. Bush is handling the situation with Iraq?"
"Regardless of how you usually vote, do you think the Republican Party or the Democratic Party is more likely to make the right decisions about the war in Iraq?"
"Do you think the result of the war with Iraq was worth the loss of American life and other costs of attacking Iraq, or not?"
"Looking back, do you think the United States did the right thing in taking military action against Iraq, or should the U.S. have stayed out?"
"How would you say things are going for the U.S. in its efforts to bring stability and order to Iraq? Would you say things are going very well, somewhat well, somewhat badly, or very badly?"
"Which of these do you think is most likely? (1) Iraq will become a stable democracy in the next year or two. (2) Iraq will become a stable democracy, but it will take longer than a year or two. OR, (3) Iraq will probably never become a stable democracy."
"Who do you think is currently winning the war in Iraq: the United States, or the Iraqi resistance and insurgents, or neither side?"
"Do you think the United States should or should not set a timetable for the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq?"
"How do you think the war with Iraq is affecting the United States' image in the world? Is the war making the U.S. image in the world better, making it worse, or is the war having no effect on the U.S. image in the world?"
"Do you think the war with Iraq has made U.S. diplomatic efforts in the rest of the Middle East easier, harder, or has it had no effect?"
"Do you think the U.S. presence in Iraq is leading to greater stability in the Middle East, less stability, or doesn't it have any effect on the stability of the Middle East?"
"If the U.S. stays in Iraq for several more years, do you think that will eventually make the United States more safe from terrorism, less safe, or won't it make any difference?"
Please circulate this memo. These data are why Ned Lamont is popular, and these are not just Connecticut polls. Run a popular national message nationally and you will win big. Rove and his flying monkeys are bluffing you.
Hope that helps!

Good morning Minority Leader Reid:
In order to ensure Democrats take the Senate and the House this fall, we must put primary differences behind us. Please announce your support of Ned Lamont, who Connecticut Democrats have tonight chosen as their Senate nominee. Ned Lamont, the nominee, deserves your support, as do Connecticut Democrats who have spoken.
Please announce your support of Ned Lamont. Democrats should not have any distractions going forward to defeat George Bush's agenda for America in November. Connecticut's junior Senator needs to understand that re-taking the Senate and the House are our national party's priorities. Ned Lamont can help a united Democratic Party achieve that.
Thank you for your service to the United States of America and to the Democratic Party, sir.
