Bush's birthday

The Democratic Party wants you to “Send President Bush a Birthday Message” on his 59th birthday.

Today is President Bush's 59th birthday, and the Republican National Committee recently celebrated by asking GOP activists to sign a birthday card to the president. But there was a catch: you could only sign it if you gave a donation to the RNC.

We think that's un-American -- everyone should be able to send a message to our leader. So we've set up a birthday card that you can sign -- free of charge.

Their birthday card to President Bush reads as follows:

On the occasion of your 59th birthday, we hope you're taking the time to reflect on your legacy: record new debt for future generations, dismantling Social Security, replacing science with right-wing ideology, giving our natural resources over to polluters, failing to catch Osama bin Laden, and lying about the reasons you took America into war.

Thinking of you,

The American People

A bag of pretzels would be an excellent birthday gift.
