Democracy for America (Dean's former group) sends open letter to Obama & Hillary: Fight McCain

[mnhtnbb]

not each other.

It's about time both candidates wake up to the fact that this feud is not going to help either of them
beat McCain in November. It's time for them both to be reminded of this fact!

Here's the letter with link to sign it:

The Democratic race for President has lost its focus. We have John McCain to beat in November, instead we fight each other.

Geraldine Ferraro. Reverend Wright. Rezko ties. Secret tax returns. If you're like me; you're sick of it.

We have a war to end, an economy in trouble, and $4 gas.

With hundreds of progressives to elect at all levels of office, it's time to leave the character attacks to Ann Coulter and Bill O'Reilly.

America needs to know why our candidates are better than John McCain and we need to hear it from Senators Clinton and Obama.

Fight McCain, not each other. Join me in signing an open letter to the candidates now:

We have an historic nomination battle, driving record Democratic turnout and commanding the nation's attention.

America needs to know our nominee will fight global warming with new jobs, technologies, and investment. Our nominee will expand health coverage to 10 million kids immediately, allow lifesaving research on stem cells, and work toward health care for all by the end of a first term. We will ban torture, restore habeas corpus, and build renewed respect for America around the world.

A Democratic President will end the war in Iraq and bring our brave men and women home.

A long primary battle is healthy as long as we make the case for how we'll win, not how the other candidate will lose. We need to fight McCain, not each other. Join me in demanding Senators Clinton and Obama keep their eyes on the ball.

Let voters choose our nominee based on the best we have to offer, not the worst we can imagine.

Senators Clinton and Obama say they are ready to lead. Now is their chance to prove it.

Thank you for everything you do to move America forward.

1. I plan to follow that message. Watch for my major thread in about 45 minutes!

OK? :D

2. Bring it on! I have been posting my fear that this will all end with

President McCain--which is a nightmare to contemplate!

3. Watching this sink. Wake up, DU!

4. No shit. Hey Skinner how about it?

Hasn't the crapfest here gone on long enough? This morning it was NewsmaxUnderground here. Enough already. Pull the plug on the free-for-all in GDP.

5. Wonder whether Jim Dean consulted with his brother re the letter.

Howard Dean must be tearing his hair out watching this free-for-all.

10. C'mon, DU. Anybody signed this?

[Catherina]

11. I'd really like to but I can't sign anything

that puts Clinton's destructive kitchen sink BS with Obama's defense. I know they mean well but I can't sign it. Obama's been exceedingly gracious and patient. He shouldn't even be mentioned in this entreaty.

KOS is showing some bulls today. It's time for the rest of the Dem and progressive organizations to do the same.

Edit: But I'll still recommend your thread

12. Thanks for the R.
