Dear Mr. Dean:

I respectfully but forcefully ask that you request of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton and her surrogates to stop running this smear campaign against Barack Obama. Her behavior as exhibited in myriad repeated distortions of the facts, incidents of voter suppression, voter intimidation, and the telling of of lies is polarizing the democratic party and is compromising the integrity of the Democratic process. If she wins the primary through trickery, I and many thousands of others across all 50 states may consider a boycott of the general election or voting for another party's candidate.  We would like her and her surrogates to publicly apologize to the DNC and to Barack Obama for reducing this race to mudslinging and to disavow the politics of division that she has been engaging in.

Thank you.
