Dear Dianne,

It doesn't take much to realize why six in 10 Republicans are unhappy with their party's presidential field.

The GOP leadership has never been more out of touch with mainstream America -- and apparently its own party faithful are beginning to take notice. The more Republicans hear about their candidates, the less they like their choices.

Let's take a minute to help our neighbors make a decision to change the course. Write a letter to your local newspaper, and show your community what the GOP candidates are really about:

You probably heard some of the sound bites from last week's debate, but the Republicans have said a lot more than that in recent days -- remarks that are dangerous and alarming.

Tom Tancredo believes that immigration is an "issue of our culture itself, and whether we will survive."

Mitt Romney thinks that it's "entirely possible" that Iraq hid weapons of mass destruction in Syria.

And an overwhelming majority stood up in front of First Lady Nancy Reagan last week and told her they would not support federally-funded stem cell research.

Faced with facts like these, even Republicans are beginning to abandon their party. That's why our 50-state strategy has never been more important. We're going to protect Democratic strongholds, but the disillusionment of the Republican base underscores why we can never give up on the communities GOP strategists have considered "safe" for years.

Do your part by writing a letter to the editor and show these unhappy Republicans that they have a clear choice in 2008:

President Bush's war in Iraq was a failure. His response to Hurricane Katrina was a failure. And just this week, his overextension of military resources failed the people of Greensburg, Kansas.

Yet somehow, the 2008 Republican presidential candidates -- like Rudy Giuliani -- still believe that history will view George W. Bush as "a great president" for his response to terrorism after 9/11.

Right now, there is a Republican waiting to hear this. Help them out -- write a letter to the editor now:


Sorry Tom, my family has always been staunch democrats. We have campaigned and provided financial support. Unfortunately, we can no longer support the Democratic party as a result of their "pro amnesty" philosophy. There is not one Democratic candidate that is in favor of upholding the laws of this nation not to mention the constitution. Immigration Yes, amnesty for lawbreakers No. Wonder how many terrorists we have in this 12 million group of illegals that have invaded this country as thieves in the night?

As much as my family hates it, we have identified two republican candidates that we will be working for in the coming months. We have never voted republican before; however if this is what it takes to save the future of my children; then so be it.
