AUGUST 26, 2002 TOMORROW IS THE BIG DAY – DON’T FORGET TO VOTE!!! A MESSAGE TO FRIENDS FROM DENISE BODE… After thousands of miles in the car, hundreds of hours on the phone, and countless public appearances before Republican activists, Election Day is finally here! I feel so honored to have earned your support and your trust. Your help, along with that of Senator Nickles, former Congressman Tom Coburn, Mayors Kirk Humphreys and Bill LaFortune and thousands of other good Republicans, has been so gratifying. Because of your help, we’re looking forward to a great win on Tuesday evening! BUT WE CAN’T WIN IF YOU, YOUR FAMILY, AND YOUR FRIENDS FORGET TO VOTE! So, please pass this reminder on to everyone you know. We’re excited about taking Drew Edmondson on in the general election and we can’t wait to talk about bringing Oklahoma values back to the Attorney General ’s office. Republicans have responded to that message, and we believe all right-thinking Oklahomans – Republicans and Democrats alike – will agree. AS YOUR ATTORNEY GENERAL, I WILL NOT… …defend the likes of Al Gore and involve the state of Oklahoma in the vote counting processes in Florida or any other state, AS DID YOUR CURRENT ATTORNEY GENERAL; …file suit against such honored organizations as the Boy Scouts of America, AS DID YOUR CURRENT ATTORNEY GENERAL; or …line the pockets of political buddies in the law profession with billions of dollars in tobacco settlements, AS DID YOUR CURRENT ATTORNEY GENERAL! AS YOUR ATTORNEY GENERAL, I WILL… …be the consumer advocate you and your family deserve in the AG’s office. I will continue the consumer advocacy I have proven as your Corporation Commissioner. …provide local law enforcement with the investigative support they need to crack down on criminals. Under our current Attorney General, Oklahoma has become the number two state in Meth Labs. That’s not the kind of growth we seek for our state. Again, thank you for your help. Please pass this message on to your entire e-mail address book. With your help, we will start the general election with great momentum toward November. John, Sean and I ask for your prayers and your help as we move toward victory in November. - Denise Bode

Madam, Your blatant campaign letter exceeds good manners. This List is no place for electioneering. Joe Armstrong.
