Dear Sen. Doggett,
First of all let me say thank you for all that you do. You are truly one of my idols. I live in East Austin, having bought my first home at the age of 25 one year ago. I was truly energized by Howard Dean to become even more politically active, and I am thinking of sitting on a comission for the city. I saw you at John Kerry's Kids First presentation at UT. Thank you for joining him. I have two main issues I would like to address. First, I am asking for your help to stop the killings of minorities by the police here on the East Side. I find it very sad that police use deadly force instead of say, shooting an arm or leg, or using a taser, or handcuffs. It is a real problem, we just had another young hispanic man die at the hands of the police last week. I believe that this issue should be addressed, and I am willing to do anything at all to work on this matter...so that it doesn't keep happening. I am a minority myself. I find solidarity in living with other minorities here on this side of town...however, I am deeply frightend by the police that are supposed to keep us safe.
Secondly, Howard Dean has come under some scrutiny lately for some of his statements. I believe his statements to be not all that far fetched, and I think that it is a true disgrace to our party to have Nancy Pelosi speak out against him, saying that she doesn't support our party chairman. Dean is the energy we need to win back the White house in 2006 and 2008.
and Third, please consider running as Vice President with whomever the Dem. Nominee is...If you will not consider running for President yourself.You are a true winner- and we in your district appreciate you being our voice.
and fourth,I am asking for your support to investigate the Downing street memo. Bush must answer to this. I believe the American people were mislead to war- we should have been going after Bin laden first and foremost. Where is the coverage of the memo in the news?
Thank you sir for all that you do.
Sincerely,
Joshua Angell
