Dear RODNEY,
President George Bush must be stopped.
His plan to risk the lives of another 20,000 young men and women in Iraq is a calamitous mistake the likes of which this nation has not seen since Vietnam. Just like in that disastrous war, these troops will be sent into a country where the enemy is uncertain and the population is hostile.
In Iraq, there is no victory to be had in an enterprise that has been ill-fated from the start. That is why we must say unequivocally to the President: This escalation must be stopped now!
This week, Senate Democrats, as well as many Republicans, will unite behind a resolution expressing our resistance to George Bush's plan - a plan that flatly rejects the advice of our nation's finest military and civil leaders to begin redeploying American troops.
This President knows where Senate Democrats stand on his escalation, but now he must face a groundswell of opposition from the American public. George Bush still hasn't gotten the message that voters like you tried to send him loud and clear in November. Make him hear you this moment by joining with us against this dangerous folly.

This President - a President so cavalier that he once crowed "Bring 'em on" to terrorists in Iraq - no longer appreciates the consequences of his actions. George Bush is leading us down a path that can only end with more American blood, treasure and stature lost.
Not only does Mr. Bush intend to plunge us deeper into what is now clearly a civil war in Iraq, but he is now increasing his belligerence towards Iran and Syria. In his State of the Union address, Mr. Bush called out Iran no less than seven times.
I fear that what we are seeing now is an administration intent on laying the groundwork for a wider war in the Middle East. That is why it is so important for us to reject Mr. Bush's plan for more troops in Iraq. Once escalation in Iraq begins, there is no telling what ruinous consequences await this nation.
Right now, Mr. Bush must hear a siren call from every corner of America that we will not allow an imperial president to defy our will. Please stand with me.
Sincerely,

Dear RODNEY,
In his speech last night we heard the President talking the bipartisan talk, but the substance of the speech shows he has yet to walk the bipartisan walk. He has learned very little. But we have to get beyond the President's disingenuousness and failures to address the question that Democrats must answer if we want to win in 2008: "What do Democrats really stand for?"
My new book Positively American: Winning Back the Middle-Class Majority One Family at a Time defines a new Democratic vision for victory in 2008 and beyond.
The first part includes war stories and colorful anecdotes -- from my improbable Senate election in 1998 to the nearly impossible take-over of the Senate this past fall -- and describes the eight words that carried Bush to reelection in 2004: war in Iraq, cut taxes, no gay marriage. What are our eight words?
That question is answered in the second part of Positively American - "The 50% Solution" - where I present eleven ambitious but concrete goals, to be achieved within ten years. For each goal, I offer a novel solution and explain its importance for our party and our country.
As we respond to the President's speech and begin to think about 2008, let's try to move past our frustration at what he has presented. Instead, let's focus on our own positive agenda and platform; that, more than anything, is what our country desperately needs.
I thought you might be interested in learning a little more about the Democratic plan for the next two years and beyond by tuning in to a few of my upcoming media appearances:

The Today Show, Thursday, January, 25, between 7 and 8 a.m.
The Daily Show, Thursday, January 25, 11 p.m.

The Colbert Report, Thursday, February 1, 11:30 p.m.

I am so excited to share my vision with you for how Democrats can lead America through these challenging times.
Sincerely,

occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives.Since then I
have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate any of my clients
extended relatives,this has also proved unsuccessful.

After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track his last

I contacted you. I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the
money and properties left behind by my client before they get
confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where this huge

about US$15.3 Million has issued me a notice to provide the next-of-kin

unserviceable and subsequently confiscated by the Bank.

Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 2
years now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of
kin/relative to my deceased client so that the proceeds of this account
valued at US$15.3 Million can be paid to you and then you and I can
share the money as follows,60% shall be for me, while 40% of the funds
shall be retained by you. However, Upon release of the funds to you,My
own share shall be held in trust for me pending when i come over to
your country for the disbursement of the funds stated above.

I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to butress any
claim that will ensure that the funds are released to you by the Bank.
Therefore,All I require is absolute trust and your honest cooperation
to enable us see this deal through. I guarantee that this will be
executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any
breach of the law.
