Dear Oprah, Democrats need your help in publicizing Senator McCain's hidden agenda. Senator McCain wants to strengthen the military and has stated so numerously in speeches,"we need to bring democracy to the world". Senator McCain, if elected, will reinstate the draft bypassing Congress and bring democracy to others through violence. We don't believe this is the answer to change. Senator McCains new mottos, "Country First-Me Last" and "Change" refer to bypassing beauracracy and following unfulfilled goals by Bush. Please help us!
