Dear Republicans

Got this in the mail today... seems to have originated from an accountant by the name of Wallace G. Regardless, I thought it was a good one to pass on.

> Dear Republicans:
>
> If you manage to steal this election too, we blue-staters
> have decided we're leaving. We intend to form our own
> country, and we're taking the other Blue States with us.
>
> In case you aren't aware, that includes: California,
> Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan,
> Illinois and all the Northeast.
>
> We believe this split will be beneficial to the nation, and
> especially to the people of the new country of New
> California.
>
> To sum up briefly: You get Texas, Oklahoma, and all the
> slave states. We get stem cell research and the best
> beaches.
>
> We get the Statue of Liberty. You get Dollywood.
>
> We get Intel and Microsoft. You get WorldCom.
>
> We get Harvard. You get Ole' Miss.
>
> We get 85% of America's venture capital and
> entrepreneurs. You get Alabama.
>
> We get two-thirds of the tax revenue, you get to make the
> red states pay their fair share.
>
> Since our aggregate divorce rate is 22% lower than the
> Christian Coalition's, we get a bunch of happy families.
> You get a bunch of single moms.
>
> Please be aware that Nuevo California will be pro-choice,
> anti-war, and we're going to want all our citizens back
> from Iraq at once. If you need people to fight, ask your
> evangelicals. They have kids they're apparently willing
> to send to their deaths for no purpose, and they don't
> care if you don't show pictures of their children's
> caskets coming home.
>
> We do wish you success in Iraq, and hope that the WMDs turn
> up, but we're not willing to spend our resources in
> Bush's Quagmire.
>
> With the Blue States in hand, we will have firm control of
> 80% of the country's fresh water, more than 90% of the
> pineapple and lettuce, 92% of the nation's fresh fruit,
> 95% of America's quality wines, 90% of all cheese, 90%
> of the high tech industry, 95% of the corn and soybeans
> (thanks Iowa!), all of the salmon and lobster, most of the
> U.S. low-sulfur coal, all living redwoods, sequoias and
> condors, all the Ivy and Seven Sister schools plus Stanford,
> Cal Tech, and MIT.
>
> With the Red States on the other hand, you get kudzu and
> fried twinkies, and will have to cope with 88% of all obese
> Americans (and their projected health care costs), 92% of
> all U.S. mosquitoes, nearly 100% of the tornadoes, 90% of
> the hurricanes, 99% of all Southern Baptists, 100% of all
> televangelists, Rush Limbaugh, Bob Jones University,
> Clemson, and as one "scholarship" athlete put it
> so eloquently: "the "University of Arkansas State
> University."
>
> We get Hollywood and Yosemite. Thank you.
>
> Additionally, 38% of those in the Red states believe Jonah
> was actually swallowed by a whale, 62% believe life is
> sacred--unless we're discussing the war, the death
> penalty or gun laws, 74% say that evolution is only a
> theory, 63% that Saddam was involved in 9/11 and 61% of you
> crazy s-o-b's believe you are people with higher morals
> than we lefties.
>
> Finally, we're taking the good pot, too. You can have
> that dirt weed they grow in Mexico.
>
> Good luck and Peace out,

> The Blue State citizens of Nuevo California.
