Dear Senator Mitch McConnell,
Below you'll find a copy of a letter your office sent to me. I'm not sure why you would think that I'm interested in your canned propaganda but just so there's no confusion in the future, I am not. I would prefer that someone of your character, not inform me of the "truth" of anything. Contrary to your version of said truth, the real truth is that most Americans want an end to your ongoing war on fear. Even Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki told President Bush yesterday that he “disagrees” with Gen Petraeus’s recommendations and wants our troops out. This is something that you and those you blindly follow in the White House not only refuse to acknowledge, but even dismiss with such contempt as "So?" or even from your own admission, that the losses are OK since they volunteered anyway.

How dare you infest my mailbox with your propaganda. Yes Senator McConnell, I well remember the moveon ads. I also remember Colin Powell sell us your war on fear, only to digress later in shame. So, please don't spew your "silence the mindless sheep" tactics towards me. As we showed in November of 06, we're no longer buying it.

In closing, I don't recall that we've ever been on a first name bases. If you noticed, I addressed you in a proper manner as well as President Bush. Accordingly, I think I too deserve that same respect, particularly when receiving unsolicited spam mail from your office. Thank you in advance for promptly removing my name from your files.

Sincerely,

Mr. Andy

Andy, This week General David Petraeus will report to Congress on the recent progress in Iraq.  When General Petraeus reported to Washington to testify before Congress six months ago, he was the victim of personal and vicious attacks by ultra-liberal groups like MoveOn.org.  You will remember that MoveOn took out a full-page ad in the New York Times calling General Petraeus a traitor.  General David Petraeus is a four-star General who has served our nation for more than thirty years.  Right now he is leading our brave men and women serving in Iraq.  Like all our servicemembers fighting in the war against terrorism, General Petraeus' service deserves our gratitude, not condemnation. The truth is most Americans do not approve of MoveOn.org's actions, nor do they support MoveOn's radical positions on many issues.  So this time as he testifies before Congress, we want General Petraeus and the troops he leads to know we stand with them. Please join me in thanking General Petraeus for his service.  Visit this page to sign a special thank you card today. Sincerely, Mitch McConnell Senate Republican Leader P.S. Please forward this message to others who would like to join us in thanking General Petraeus and the troops.
