I got this note today from the Bush Campaign. (I signed up for their emails to know what they are saying about our candidate.) One promise they make is that Parties of 5 or more who RSVP via the campaign's website will be able to call a senior campaign leader who can answer questions and deliver a political briefing. Wouldn't it be fun to get together a group of progressive Democrats and RSVP for a call with one of the campaign's "senior leaders." Maybe invite a reporter from your local newspaper. Here's the letter I received:
Dear Mark,
Will you make a difference for our President on Thursday, April 29th? That’s the day 2004 Parties for the President will be held in a nationwide show of support for President Bush.
Across the country, supporters of President Bush will gather in homes, restaurants and community centers to stand up for our President.
Will you stand with President Bush and Vice-President Cheney on April 29th?
WHAT: National “Party for the President” Day

WHERE: Your home, the coffee shop, local diner, etc.
A Party for the President can be as easy as inviting your neighbors for a cup of coffee, BBQ or casual conversation.
WHEN: Thursday, April 29th at 8:00pm EST
For parties with 5 or more guests who RSVP at GeorgeWBush.com, National “Party for the President” Day will include a conference call with a senior campaign leader. This special guest will answer questions and deliver a political briefing on the progress of the campaign.
WHY: A Party for the President is a simple, volunteer event that brings together local friends and neighbors who support the President. Plus, all party hosts receive a special package from the campaign with an exclusive Bush-Cheney ‘04 video, bumper stickers, other campaign materials and a letter from President Bush. These fun, informal events will help grow the President’s strong base of support in local communities throughout the country and bring the President one step closer to victory in November.
We have a hard fight in the days ahead and the President needs your help.
Will you help by hosting a Party for the President on April 29th?
Sincerely,
Ken Mehlman Campaign Manager
I'd love to ask their "senior campaign leader" about the Administration's reasons for wanting to attack Iraq after 9/11, rather than go after the obvious perpetrators, al Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden. Anyone interested? I'm in the Quad Cities (Iowa/Illinois) and I'd be willing to host a group.
