47. John I believed in you then and I sill believe in you
Let me first say I still havn't given up hope because if there is one thing you have taught us all and that is to never give up hope. I want you to know I supported you from day one and will continue to do so no matter what the final outcome of all of this. You are truly a great man that deserves great respect. If this election is not overturned as I hope and pray everyday it will be I do hope you will run again in 2008. If you do I will be one of the first ones in line to support you and fight for you all the way just as I did in this election. I truly believe this country needs you and you would be the greatest president this country has had since John F. Kennedy.

I will mever forget all that the campaign of 2004 meant to me and so many other Americans. All of us were so happy and had fun all the time even as we worked hard everyday. You brought life and happiness to so many Americans. All of those I know that worked and supported you say the same thing I do and that is we will gladly do it again. So John from me and so many others I must say we love and we got your back!

I do want to let you know just how much all your supporters that worked for you and as I said will do it again really love and respect you and hope to see and hear from you. On Nov. 2 everyone was ready for the big day. We were all so excited because in our hearts and our guts we was going to have the greatest president since Kennedy. So we all sat around talking and watching for all the numbers to come in. Everyone was so upbeat until they called Flordia for Bush. Then we all just look as if we were in shock. Then alot of others started saying come on everyone it's not as if we lost this we still have Ohio to go and you know we will win Ohio. I will never forget my dad looking at me saying oh my god they are going to do it again. They are going to steal this election. I was like him I knew something wasn't right. He said I don't know how the ba$tards pulled this off this time but they have. I told my dad not to be getting all upset yet because it was like the others had said they hadn't called Ohio and we would get it. So all of us waited and prayed. Then when Edwards came and spoke and that gave us a little boost that by that time we all needed. Then came what we all didn't want to hear and that was the hope for Ohio was over and you were conceding.

I have never seem so many people so emotional in my life over a election. First there was anger and raging anger it was. No one was angry at you they were all angry because all of us including you had just been ripped off. We were all including yourself stripped of everything that we all had worked so hard and and had been so passionate about. We all felt that we were ripped off of a president that would be the best this country has seen since Kennedy, a president that would fight for the health care for all Americans, a president that would fight for the poor, middle class, and working people of this country, a president that would restore this countries honor and respect to the rest of the world, and the list goes on. But we were all robbed of that and we still to this day believe we we were. Then sir, when you made your concession speech all the anger turned to tears and sadness. I witnessed so many men and women in tears over this and I was one of them that I will never be able to forget it. At this very moment as I type this I can tell you there are still so many devastated people over this, that still cry when they hear your voice or see you. At the same time I can tell you they are so angry at this current so called president and his administration that every time they see him or him hear their anger rages me being one of those.

All of your supporters that I worked with have said many times over that as far as they are concerned that you sir are still our president. We will stand behind you and fight no matter what it takes to hold these people accountable for what they have done to all the people of our great country and we will help you in any way we can to stop them from what they plan to do. We all agree there is no way we could ever back or have any kind of faith in the Bush adminastration. We realize that we need to unite and all come together in order to accomplish what we have to do but at the same time your supporters feel that they have to back Bush to do that. We all feel we can do what we set out to do just as well if not better by backing you. So please let's continue to work together to hold these people accountable for their failures by doing what we all did during the campaign. Keep the messages coming and anything you need done and we will be there for you. Just please don't get your hopes up of seeing us ever back Bush because that sir is the only thing I know that I couldn't and wouldn't do. As much as I respect you and look up to you that is the one thing that me and your supporters that have worked with me won't do. So let's roll up our sleeves and get back to work and bring these people to their knee's. God Bless and Thank You
