Email from Teresa about JK's birthday KAP event

[rox63]

Did any other Massholes get this email today? It's about a birthday party/KAP fundraiser happening in Boston on JK's birthday. I'm trying to decide if I can afford one of the cheap tickets or not. If a couple of us could manage it, it would be a great way to present the birthday cards to our guy. :D

Here's the link for the RSVP:

Dear rox63,

John's birthday is just around the corner, and I hope you will be able to join us for a special celebration. On December 11, we will gather in Boston with friends and family to support John's new grassroots action committee, Keeping America's Promise.

John founded Keeping America's Promise with one goal in mind: build on the foundation and momentum you created in 2004 and channel it toward strengthening our party and electing Democrats in 2005 and beyond. And that's exactly what he's doing. Keeping America's Promise is supporting Democratic candidates in tough races, standing up for the principles that make our country great -- and engaging millions of concerned citizens in the fight for change at the grassroots.

Click here to RSVP or for more information, or contact Jon Patsavos at [e-mail] or 617-263-3389. And I do hope you'll join us, because we are at a crossroads in America, and we all have a role to play.

If you are unable to attend, I hope you'll support Keeping America's Promise by making a contribution today.

There are daily reminders that the Republicans who run Washington have lost touch with the values and priorities of the American people. Forces outside the mainstream now seem to effortlessly push Republican leaders toward conduct the American people don't want from their elected leaders: abusing power, inserting government into our private lives, injecting religion into debates about public policy, and ignoring real problems that keep American families up at night. Moreover, we have all witnessed as Katrina has exposed not only misplaced priorities but also a terrifying lack of competence.

In the wake of Katrina, millions of Americans are reengaging in our democracy. At Keeping America's Promise, John is inspiring as many Americans as he can to join him in tackling the immense challenges facing our nation. By developing a grassroots organization committed to promoting progressive candidates up and down the ticket across America, John is doing the hard work necessary to elect people willing to make Washington work for Americans again.

I know that nothing would be more gratifying to John on his birthday than to have his friends and supporters join together behind this new effort. All of the ingredients are in place for Keeping America's Promise to make an incredible impact: organization, leadership, momentum, an unparalleled nationwide network of grassroots activists -- and maybe most importantly -- a nation deeply concerned about this administration's failures and ready for a new direction.

Together, we can help make it possible. We can give voice to our values. And we can lay the groundwork for electoral gains in 2006 that give us the power to bring change to this land.

On December 11, I hope you'll join us on John's birthday to lend your voice and ideas, and help us raise the resources needed to make Keeping America's Promise a growing success. If you cannot attend, I hope you will show your support by making a contribution.

Thank you for your continued support and friendship. I look forward to seeing you for this very special celebration of John's birthday.

Warm regards,

Teresa Heinz Kerry
