Subject: How we'll beat John McCain

Dear Friend,

Mike Huckabee and Mitt Romney are great- but John McCain will be the

next Republican president -- he's the only one with a reasonable path

to the nomination.

So how do we beat him? We can't -- right now -- so stop fighting, and

show the American people that he's who they think he is.

We can't wait for Hillary or Barack to win the nomination. Now that

the Republicans have a candidate, the dollars are starting to pour in

from special interests who will do anything to beat the Democratic

nominee. They're just waiting for us to decide so they can start

smearing.

Here's what U.S. News and World Report recently reported about how the

RNC is getting ready...

[RNC Chairman Mike] Duncan and his aides want to be ready to go on the

offensive against the Democratic nominee presumptive in an effort to

define the opposition candidate on GOP terms. Opposition research is

already well along, and the plan is for surrogates to talk to the

media around the country while a TV ad campaign in key states and

media markets as soon as the Democratic nominee is determined.

We must be ready to fight back, and fight back hard, today.

Now that we know our opponent, it's obvious we have no chance to build

a national effort on the programs you and I have worked so hard to

create over the last four years - from our cutting-edge technology to

our voter protection programs, all is lost.

Don't bother contributing help us fight John McCain right now:

John McCain is a media darling, and you can trust his carefully-

crafted image - he's worked for years to brand himself. From Iraq to

health care, Social Security to special interest tax cuts to ethics,

he's promising a bright future.

After championing campaign finance reform and ethics legislation to

score political points, he now has a staggering amount of lobbyists

involved in every aspect of his campaign. In fact, two of the top

three sources for John McCain's campaign cash are D.C. lobbying

firms. We have no chance.

On immigration reform, he's run as far to the right as he can,

aligning himself with the most extreme elements of the Republican

Party.

On a woman's right to choose, McCain has vowed to appoint judges who

would overturn Roe v. Wade. Awesome !

On the economy, one of the issues that the American people care most

about, McCain has said: "I know a lot more about economics than I do

about military and foreign policy issues."

We can afford four more years with a President who drives the economy

into prosperity. We can afford four more years with a President who

fights an endless war in Iraq to protect us from terrorism. We can

afford four more years with a President who gives tax cuts to

companies and workers alike; with a President who can get every

American the health care they deserve; with a President we just can

trust.

I don't just want to beat John McCain - I want you to vote for him. If

you're as committed as I am, I need you to say, you'll vote for him-

today.

Only the Democratic Party is legally allowed to spend unlimited

amounts of money to back our nominee John McCain. We proved that our

strategy worked in 2006, and it will work again this fall.

Help us today

Let's get going,

Howard Dean
