On Tuesday, the message sent by Connecticut voters was loud and clear. They want change, and they want Ned Lamont to represent them in the U.S. Senate.
In 2000, the presence of a third party candidate, Ralph Nader, no doubt played a role in the defeat of you and Vice President Gore in your run for the White House. Now you are risking our party's claim on the Connecticut Senate seat by running as a third party candidate yourself.
As a Democrat, I have committed myself to supporting the Democratic nominee for the US Senate in Connecticut, and I ask you to do likewise. Because too much is at stake with our troubles abroad and at home, we cannot play games this Election Day.
I strongly urge you to drop your bid for the Senate as an Independent and endorse Ned Lamont, the duly nominated Democrat.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
