To: Florida Gov. Charlie Crist

We, the American people, adamantly oppose the appointment of Jeb Bush to replace Mel Martinez in the United States Senate.

In 2000, Jeb Bush played a crucial role in stealing the White House for his brother George by purging 100,000 eligible voters and by defying the Florida Supreme Court's order to count 175,000 never-counted votes.

The eight years that followed this outrage have been a monumental disaster for the people of the United States and the world, and for generations to come.

The American people overwhelmingly rejected George Bush and his policies on November 4, 2008.

We, the American people, will not tolerate the appointment of Jeb Bush to the Senate to sabotage the presidency of Barack Obama.

On November 30, Jeb Bush said Republicans should form a shadow government to block President Obama's efforts.

On December 2, Sen. Mel Martinez suddenly announced he would not run for re-election to the Senate in 2010. Jeb Bush immediately said he was considering a run for the open seat.

If Martinez quits before his term ends - as Trent Lott recently did - Republican Gov. Charlie Crist would fill the vacancy and could pick Jeb Bush. This decision could happen at any time.

We, the American people, will not tolerate the appointment of Jeb Bush to the Senate to sabotage the presidency of Barack Obama.
