Dear Sen. Boxer,

I have been a supporter of yours since you represented my district in the House. I have generally supported your positions on things but the news that you will be supporting Sen Lieberman in the CT primary is hugely disappointing.

1. Joe Lieberman is a DINO, and has voted for Bush and the Rs when it most counted (cf. the Alito cloture vote).

2. He is opposed by a qualifed and apparently electable candidate in the CT primary, who as a complete unknown, received 33% of the delegates’ vote in the CT Dem Convention.

3. He has stated that if he loses the primary he will run as an independent, thus threatening the electability of the Democratic candidate and putting his interest ahead of the Dem party and the Dem voters of his home state.

Why are you doing this? Why is any incumbent Senator (including Sen Biden) doing this? As a matter of strict principle incumbents from other states should remain neutral in other state primaries – it is unseemly to take sides at all, but to take sides in favor of some one who has so damaged the Democrats is unconscionable.

Please immediately reconsider and do as Sen. Clinton has done, and state that you will support the winner of the CT primary and leave it at that.

I just called her office in Sacramento. The very nice person who answered said they are keeping track of pro and anti HoJo (not her name for the guy, ha). So I said I loved Boxer but I was very much against Joe Lieberman and hoped my senator would not support him if he loses the primary.</p> I am a Boxer constituent.
