Open Letter Signed by 24 Olympians and Professional Athletes

To our fellow Americans:

We have given much thought to the values and characteristics that make a great athlete. Our lives have been spent trying to run farther, push further, and jump higher than the person beside us, or across the field of our chosen sport. With years of training and exhaustive competition beneath our belts, we have identified the values necessary to compete and win--values like personal strength, determination, a sense of fair play and faith.

The same qualities that make a great athlete make a great President--the determination to do what is right, regardless of the latest polls, the personal strength to bear the weight of the nation on your shoulders, and the faith that a higher power will direct the actions of good people.

We see in President Bush these same qualities.

In 2001, our nation was attacked without cause or provocation. The President's values saw us through those dark days after the terrorist attack. The economy was rocked by the dual blows of the terrorists' cowardly action and the reckless disregard of the rules by a few rogue executives. But President Bush's decisive, principled leadership has moved America forward, and today our nation is safer and our economy is strong and getting stronger.

The fight against terrorism takes decisiveness. It takes continued support for our troops and first responders. But most importantly, it takes courage and inspirational leadership in the White House. In these critical times, our President has had the courage to stand up and do what's right.

For that and for his unwavering character, we choose George W. Bush as our President for the next four years. He is a leader we can depend on to make the tough decisions and the right decisions. Please join us in supporting a candidate of courage, President Bush--a leader who backs our troops defending our nation and shares our values.

Sincerely,

This is what separates Bushies from the rest of the sane world. In typical Bush fashion, his camp robotically denies that they are at fault for anything. Just as many Americans continue to deny the aggravating effects of US foreign policy that instigate anti-American sentiments. At the moment, I can only cite America's maverick support of Israel, but there are plenty more I'm sure.

Please don't come at me with the preposterous idea that Muslim fundamentalists hate us enough to execute 9/11 exclusively out of their disagreement with American cultural values. There are tons of other places on Earth with equally liberal cultural values that haven't been attacked.

The day American leaders own up to the reality of their policies is the day America will finally be on the right path. But that requires honesty and I don't think Americans even know how to identify honesty anymore.
