For Integrity
You've been part of something very special. When we started, it really looked like Al Gore might steal the election in Florida. Nobody expected the Republicans to take to the streets... to flood the airwaves... and to mobilize in vast numbers over the Internet in protest of what was going on. But we did it -- and we fought off each and every attempt the Democrats made to overturn the election results.
Altogether, Election Integrity delivered over 600,000 petitions and letters from Americans all over the country. As far as I know that's the biggest and fastest political mobilization in Internet history!
Yes, I'm proud of what we did. You should be too. After all, you are the reason that our call to action reached so many Americans.
Our message spread so far that an old friend of my wife's from college who I hadn't seen in 25 years e-mailed me to ask if I was the same Bruce Eberle she knew from her school days. That's the power of the Internet.
Over the last few weeks I've received so many comments and e-mails that I couldn't begin to recount them all for you (no pun intended). Some of these comments have been negative -- from Gore supporters demanding that we back off. The vast majority, however, have been very supportive and encouraging.
One friend of mine even went so far as to say that we helped to change the course of American history. I don't know about that, but I do know now that the Internet has the potential to be a major force in American politics.
That brings me to the next step for Election Integrity.
First of all, we are going to continue to keep fighting for positive political changes. There are many battles looming on the horizon: the fight for the Bush tax cut; the fight against Hillary's socialized medicine plan; the fight for Supreme Court confirmations in an evenly divided Senate and so on.
Secondly, we're changing our name to: www.MillionsofAmericans.com
Why MillionsofAmericans.com? Because we've proven that we can reach and mobilize millions of Americans nationwide in a flash. I also wanted a name that was easy to remember and strikes fear in the hearts' of the liberal activists who claim to represent "the people."
So from this point forward, the Election Integrity E-mail Alerts will continue to be sent by me, but our web-site will be referred to as www.MillionsofAmericans.com
Lastly, we are in the process of redesigning our web site to give it a greater impact and make it a site that you'll want to add to your Favorites.
Why do we need to remain politically active? Because the election victory was just a first step. If you've read a newspaper or watched TV in the last two weeks then you know Democrata and activists are already attacking George W. Bush.
They say that Bush didn't win the election fairly. They say that a majority of Americans really voted for the Gore agenda. At the very least they want Bush to abandon his Republican agenda and embrace their one-sided version of "bi-partisanship."
Fortunately, the Democrats still don't have control over either house in Congress -- and now they've lost the White House. That means they don't have much real power in Washington.
But they're gearing up for an early fight with George W. Bush to set a tone for the next four years.
Right now, it looks like this first battle between Bush and the Democrats is going to be over the confirmation of John Ashcoft as Attorney General.
Former Senator John Ashcroft is a pro-law enforcement, pro-gun, pro-life Republican. The Democrats want someone in charge of the Justice Department who is a little more like former Attorney General Janet Reno.
As you know, Attorney General is a very important position and a good Attorney General is worth fighting for.
That's why our first MillionsofAmericans.com petition campaign is a Petition to Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle urging him to call off the attack on John Ashcroft and confirm his nomination as Attorney General.
Please use the link below right now and sign your petition. And please forward this message, or tell a friend about MillionsofAmericans.com.
Thanks again for your support. I hope that we're not reaching the end of something special -- but that we're just beginning a lasting relationship as millions of Americans speaking together with one voice.
For Integrity,
Bruce Eberle
