Did anyone else get this email from Senator Harry Reid today?
I am not in his Congressional District, so I am assuming anybody else that may have taken some action through the democrats.gov site received this today, also.

Looked around and didn't see it posted yet, so here it is:

-----

Dear Friend,

In a few moments I will go to the floor of the Senate and introduce ten bills which will make up the Senate Democrats’ legislative agenda.

Each measure represents one of our core values; opportunity so that every American can get the education they need to compete for good-paying jobs; responsibility, so that the United States government meets its obligations to future and past generations; and security, that the American way of life and our freedom will be protected by using all the tools available to take the fight to the terrorists while strongly supporting those who keep us free.

With your help thousands of Americans can stand with the Senate Democrats as we fight for these 10 bills. Normally Senators first approach each other to cosponsor their legislation. I am turning to you.

Become a citizen Cosponsor of the Democratic Agenda by visiting:

http://democrats.senate.gov/cosponsor-form.html

Our ten bills cover a wide variety of subjects, but each one is an important part of keeping America’s promise.

It is the promise of opportunity so that every American can get the education they need to compete in the 21st century; live in an economy with good paying jobs and high quality health care; and participate in our democracy. Keeping the promise of America also means meeting our responsibilities both to future and past generations by providing our seniors what they have spent a lifetime work for; acting responsibly with taxpayer’s dollars and with our children’s future by restoring fiscal discipline.

It is the promise of security, that the American way of life and our freedom will be protected by using all the tools to take the fight to the terrorists and standing with those who have served. It is these values that will continue to guide the Democratic agenda as this Congress moves forward.

Please join us, learn more about the Democratic Agenda and become a ”Citizen Cosponsor” by visiting:

http://democrats.senate.gov/cosponsor-form.html

Thank you,

Harry Reid

6. We should get a copy of the S.11 points to every serviceman
and their families. These are solutions to a lot of the real problems they have been facing. They are sacrificing for us all and deserve our best efforts in return, but the president has turned his back on them. S.11 will explain to them very clearly why they should be Democrats.

7. here's what i told reid about support
for the "democratic agenda."

I can't support an agenda which does not include a repudiation of war as a tool of international relations and an examination of the root causes of terrorism. Nor can I support the approval of Rice and Gonzales.

8. Things are not going well for Kindanasty Rice and
rumor is that several Senators are lining up to rip Torture Man an new one. We simply do not have the numbers to stop their confirmations, but we did ruin the party. They had the welcome mat out for Rice last week, but now she is getting the maximum 4 1/2 hour grilling by the Dems.
