Dear xxxx,


Share Your Ideas and Feedback

My mission as the new Chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) is to build on the momentum for change from the last election. To maintain that momentum, we must enact our agenda for change, hold the Bush Administration accountable for its failures in Iraq and at home, and reform the way Congress operates. I am confident that we will move forward on all these fronts.

To accomplish our mission, we must also begin immediately to ensure that our newly elected members are in a strong position for their re-election efforts. Many of them come from historically Republican districts and have already been targeted by the Republican Party. As we protect these new members of Congress, we must also continue our aggressive candidate recruitment efforts. We will remain on offense and work to field another strong group of candidates to challenge Republican incumbents. We must do all this at a time when much attention and resources will be focused on the upcoming presidential election. We must not allow that election to divert our attention from the essential goal of preserving and expanding our majority in Congress. We must strengthen our ability to chart a positive new direction for America.

Our success during the 2006 election was largely the result of the energy, activism and resources generated by the members of the DCCC's grassroots community. We could not have done it without your help and support. Thank you!

We need your help again in order to accomplish our mission in 2008. That is why, as we embark on the next election cycle together, I want to get your feedback and ideas. The DCCC was more successful in 2006 than ever before, but there are always ways to improve. Before Speaker-Elect Nancy Pelosi and our Democratic leadership team begins making the pivotal long-term decisions about our strategy during the 2008 election cycle, we want your input. Please complete this report card on the DCCC's performance and interactions with the DCCC Community so we can all be on the same page.

I thank Speaker-Elect Nancy Pelosi for the opportunity to serve as Chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. I also thank Rahm Emanuel for his very successful leadership at the helm of the DCCC during the last election cycle. Most of all, I thank you and those who worked with all of us to make our victory possible. Let's do it again in 2008!

I look forward to working with you.

Sincerely,


Chris Van Hollen

Chairman, Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee

here is my suggestion to "them"...

Where do I begin...? Stop paying lip service to the American People and start acting like the party of the People instead of being the other face of the Republican Fascist Party. Throw away all that filthy money you get from corporations and start representing our interests. Stop saying that you will allow the PNAC fascists to destroy our democracy by giving them a free pass to subvert our freedoms, steal our liberties, and ignore our rule of law. Demand that all elections are honest, open, supervised, and verifiable and to be conducted over a weekend or several days so that ALL the people can have access to vote. Stop telling us what we want to hear and then changing your tune after you get what YOU want! Start doing what we hired you to do by throwing the liars and criminals in jail, where they belong and then get busy cleaning up the national and international mess they caused. We need energy independence NOW, not a Moon mission! We need decent living wage Jobs NOW, not free trade for the sweatshops of the third world... that's for the benefit of international corporations... not for Americans. We need universal health care, reasonable housing access and supplemental support for the needy, the elderly, the young, the unemployed, and helpless in our society. Get with it, for God sake, before this whole country rips apart at the seams! NOW!!!

I'm just glad Rahm Emanuel is no longer in charge of the DCCC i think we should give Chris Van Hollen a chance to see what he can do to turn things around for us.

The website still has Rahm listed as in charge...
