Dear Mr. Carville,

November 19, 2006

I’m a nice Southern lady and a life long Democrat. I was born in Arkansas, lived in Alabama and am raising my family in Virginia. My mother always taught me that if you don’t have anything nice to say, then don’t say anything at all. I bet your mom told you the same thing at some point in your life. It seems you’ve forgotten your manners.

I have to ask, what’s your beef with Howard Dean? Let me tell you this. You are hurting all Democrats with your recent comments. There is enough to focus on the corrupt Republican Party without you cannibalizing a man who is seen by millions of Americans as a true inspiration! When you suggest that he hasn’t done anything to help the Democratic Party you not only insult him, you insult me – who worked tirelessly, often sacrificing my family’s needs while serving as State Director for him in Virginia. You also insult all of the other people whom he inspired across this great country. Thousands of people who have become active on the grassroots level have been working to turn around the direction of this country. I can give you hundreds of names of people I’ve personally met over the past 3 1/2 years who are very active in politics now, working to bring change, solely because of his influence. So when you say that he’s done no good, I have to disagree with you.

You don’t like Howard Dean? Fine. So Be It. We are a big enough party for the two of you.

Remember what you must have been told as a child. Please keep your thoughts to yourself. Show us all some respect have a little bit of humility. Perhaps you don’t know everything. His 50 state strategy is working and is changing politics in America. He’s empowering folks like me and inspiring them to give of themselves to better this country.

Thank you. Have a nice day.
Respectfully,
