To the editor:

I would like to publicly congratulate Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and all of the other Democrat leaders for the great job they have done in the eight months since taking over the House and Senate.

Thanks to a great and patriotic American named Jim Jeffords, I served as Senate Majority leader for a year and a half, and I learned during that time how important it is for Democrats to be in the majority if we want to really have the power to turn back the President’s agenda.

Now we have that power, and I am glad to see that we are using it, in issues as far ranging as making more Americans pay their share of taxes to turning the lights out on the President’s illegal war in Iraq.

In fact, it looks like so much fun that I might try to get back into politics!

Congratulations again to the Democrat majority, and here’s to the next year and a half of acting as a brake on the Republican Party.

Sincerely,

Tom Daschle
Former United States Senator

To the editor:

America Weakly is leading the charge!

So much of the write-wing press has tried to poison the well for our new Democrat Majority. Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, The Washington Post – all they can talk about taxes going up on the rich, and lossing momentum in the so-called ‘War on Terror.’

But some of us no better. People like Alec Baldwin, Michael Moore, the Dixie Chicks – these are people who had the braveness to speak up, to tell the truth about this corrupt Republican Party and the wrst President in history. It’s like when the brave men and women of the left stood up during the Charlie McCarthy scare back in the 1930s.

We have a great alley in America Weakly, and with your help, we will march forward. Last November’s Democrat victoriousness was only the first step. Next year: the White Hous!

Sincerely,

Barbra Streisand

To the editor:

Though we are happy to see the Democrats’ ascension, we – like so many who voted for the new majority last November – are disappointed with their apparent timidity on so many issues.

For example, yes, impeachment proceedings for the President are moving forward. But what about Cheney and Rumsfeld, and the rest of the cabinet? No member of this criminal enterprise should go unpunished.

And yes, defunding the NSA was an important first step, but what about disbanding the Department of Homeland Security and the CIA once and for all? The injustices visited upon so many demand it.

We didn’t vote for Democrats because of their weak-willed policy agenda. We voted for them because we were angry at the Republicans, and the Democrats were the only ones who could stop them. And the Democrats had better remember – it’s because of people like us that they’re in power. If they don’t keep us happy, they may very well find themselves back on the losing side.

Sincerely,
