I just received the following email from the DNC:
Michael --
I've always loved the back-to-school season. I love feeling the air get crisper (at least what qualifies for crisp in Florida). And even more, I love getting back to work with my colleagues at the Capitol.
But Republicans in Congress are dead-set on rolling back the progress that Democrats like you and I have worked so hard to achieve. They've already said that they're going to try to repeal Obamacare, after more than 50 unsuccessful attempts (and two Supreme Court rulings in the law's favor). They want to completely defund Planned Parenthood, an organization that provides necessary health services to women across the country. And if they don't get their way, they're just fine with shutting down the government -- again!
I'm going to be frank: That pisses me off. As a woman, a mother, and a cancer survivor, I say that we can't stand for this kind of irresponsible behavior -- and it's exactly what we'll see more of if Republicans retain their majority in 2016. The American people deserve better.
If you're with me, chip in $3 right now to help elect more Democrats.
This really hit a nerve, as I have heard very little from them on all of the other issues facing us as a nation. I just replied with the following email.
You know what pisses me off?
The amount of effort you have expended to keep Bernie Sanders and Martin O'Malley from becoming visible to the american public. The amount of incompetence and complete disregard for what is in the best interests of all of us.
This won't stand. Millions are suffering every day, and as of now the DNC is doing close to nothing to help them. You need to decide which side of history you will be on, where we as a nation either progresses and helps our citizens, or allows the extremely wealthy and powerful to dictate the terms of our government, regulations, tax structure, and on and on.
You have disappointed us to the point of revolt, and only have yourselves to blame.
I feel sorry for your efforts, as I know you mean well and have worked hard. But please reconsider where your energies are going and what the end result really looks like to the average american. Please consider that you might be part of the problem, and please help us make the better world that you, too, believe in.
Don't let the DNC continue to be part of the problem.
Regards,
Michael
