A letter from John (Traitor) Kerry

Dear Seth,

Senator Katherine Harris. It's the last thing Florida needs.

But, the truth is, Harris and her backers are working overtime to drive Senator Bill Nelson out of office. So, we have two priorities in this Senate race - making sure a strong Democratic Senator gets re-elected - and making certain a Republican candidate doesn't use her role in disrupting the democratic process as a stepping stone to higher office.

You can make sure that never happens by providing immediate support to Senator Nelson. Whether it's stopping oil drilling off Florida's coast, preserving Social Security, or protecting our personal privacy from the intrusion of government, Bill Nelson is fighting for Florida. He has a long record of taking on powerful interests - from insurance companies to oil companies to the big banks, and he is a strong advocate for the protection of voters' rights in Florida and around the nation. He's a tough senator heading into a tough campaign and he needs your help now.

If John Kerry doesn't like her, then I am sure I do!

I don't mind Bill Nelson, though I think he's completely wrong about drilling off the Florida coast. Bill hasn't been a bad Senator. He's a bit more to the left of Zell Miller, but still far to the right of Hillary.

Still Katherine Harris will have my vote unless I find a compelling reason to vote otherwise.

Here's the rest of the e-mail.

Make a contribution

It is now absolutely clear that the 2006 elections will represent a fundamental choice between those who want to stay the course President Bush has set - and those who want to move America forward in a more promising direction.

By acting now, you can provide essential momentum to Senator Nelson's campaign. But, you have to act before midnight Friday.

Make a contribution

Keeping America's Promise, the political action committee that I helped found, is pulling out all the stops for strong Democrats like Bill Nelson. Don't hesitate for a moment. With the deadline fast approaching, it's vitally important that you participate right now.

Sincerely,

John Kerry
