Dear Congressman DeFazio: Citizens from all corners of Oregon are calling on you to run for the US Senate! Please run against Gordon Smith. The State of Oregon and the United States of America need your strong leadership. We believe in you and your candidacy. We pledge to give our time and effort (and money when we can) to back your campaign. This is an opportunity for Oregonians to come together behind a candidate who can unite us--conservative and liberal and moderate--party-affiliated or not. The 2008 election may be one of the most crucial in our nation\'s history. We strongly encourage you to step up to this challenge--and lead us in the US Senate. Sincerely, (The undersigned in comments)
