Here's what I wrote:
"I e-mail you today as a concerned Democrat. In the past few days, I've heard there is quite a lot of activity within the establishment of the DNC to block a potential Dean chairmanship. This is flat out wrong. It's time to listen to the people, rather than the establishment.
We cannot continue to allow the centrist folks in our party to control what we do. We found in 2002 that it did not work, and we ended up looking like Republican-lite rather than a true opposition party.
If we what to win elections, we have to get tough, and throughout his presidential campaign, Howard Dean proved that he was not going to let the Bush adminstration dictate what this campaign was going to be about.
Imagine how bad our losses would have been if Howard Dean had not questioned Bush's handling of Iraq. We would have lost in a landslide.
I stand with thousands of other Democrats in this country pleading with you to get tough in fighting the Republicans. We have to, our party's survival depends on it.
Thank you."
Folks, the time to act is now. We need to insure the party does not end up making the mistakes of 2002 again by trying to move back to the center.
