These 2 are my favorites, but each is good. Some were probably spontaneous, but maybe Dems really responded to the call for media contact!snip>
To the Editor:
I would like to express my gratitude to John Kerry. I am a veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom, and I know from experience that being misled by your commander in chief is more devastating than the truth could ever be.
Senator Kerry promised to tell his soldiers the truth and to tell the American people the truth. This is a very important factor in leadership.
I knew the truth. Many of my comrades know the truth. We are doing the "hard work" that the president spoke of.
There is strength in truth. The American soldier deserves it.
As long as the president refuses to acknowledge the truth, there will be a lack of respect between us. Mr. President, I want the truth, not just talking points.

To the Editor:
In the debate on Thursday night, George W. Bush came across as down to earth, likable, a plain speaker. He could be anybody's guy next door.
But John Kerry proved himself to be more intelligent and articulate than Mr. Bush. He showed that he was decisive, not bullheaded; courageous enough to acknowledge that he had made a mistake and then correct his course; a master of the big picture and the details who did not have to memorize every line; a leader capable of increasing our security at home, winning the respect of our friends and dealing effectively with our enemies.
During the next four years, which will be so critical for our country, I hope to have John Kerry as my president, and I will welcome George Bush as a neighbor if he decides to move to Colorado.
