Dear Good Democrats:

I am personally calling upon YOU to elect these good Democrats. I am not going to bore you with nonsense, but, I have included factual information to help you cast your vote

Please beware, that national media will be monitoring your vote. We the State GLBT Caucus are counting on you and I have marked those to be part of the 14 and the rest as alternates. You will also be called upon from our local chapter presidents as well as our regional directors to assure your vote and accountability.

I greatly appreciate your time and consideration regarding this imperative matter.
I look forward to the results and trust me , I will be watching the voting process.
My very best to all.
