WRITTEN JUST BEFORE SENATOR WAS MURDERED, WITH HIS WHOLE FAMILY!

“Paul Wellstone is a hunted man”. These words were written just

Before the 2002 Presidential Election. Minnesota's senior senator was not just

another Democrat on White House political czar Karl Rove's target

list, in an election year when the Senate balance of power could be

decided by the voters of a single state.” Getting rid of 

Wellstone is a passion for Rove, Dick Cheney, George W. Bush and the 

special-interest lobbies that fund the most sophisticated political 

operation ever assembled by a presidential administration. "There are 

people in the White House who wake up in the morning thinking about how

they will defeat Paul Wellstone," a senior Republican aide confides. 

"This one is political and personal for them."

That has made it political and personal for Wellstone. The man who

decided to abandon a self-imposed two-term limit on his Senate service

at least in part because of his determination to block Bush's 

conservative agenda wears the target with pride. At a moment when most 

Democrats are still trying to figure out how to challenge a popular

President, the former college wrestler is leaping into the ring. 

Wellstone is not running for cover; he is running to deliver a message 

about politics in a state and a nation that he believes to be far more 

progressive than the readers of political tea leaves in Washington could

begin to imagine.

"This race is going to be a case study of whether you can maintain

liberal, progressive positions and win in this country in 2002," says

Wellstone as he campaigns among Laotian immigrants on a sunny spring

morning in St. Paul. "We're not running a race that asks people to

vote for me because, as a Democrat, I will be a little more 

compassionate, a little better for working families and children and 

immigrants, than a Republican. We want to draw the lines of distinction.

I'm saying that there is a big difference between the America the 

conservatives want and the America I want." He adds, "I don't want this

to be just about me. This race has to be about basic questions of 

whether liberals and progressives can flourish in national politics. 

That means there is a lot more on the line than whether Paul Wellstone 

wins or loses."

Wellstone is right. His race is being read as a measure of the potency

of progressive politics in America. If he wins, a blow will be struck

not just against the Bush machine but against those in the Democratic

Party who argue for tepid moderation. With Senate majority leader Tom

Daschle and House minority leader Dick Gephardt still struggling to

identify the themes on which Democrats will stake their claim for

control of Congress later this year, Wellstone is refreshingly 

different--he knows where he stands and he stands there proudly. For 

years, progressives have argued that Democrats will win big only when 

they distinguish themselves from Republicans on fundamental economic and

social justice issues. Here is Wellstone--arguably the most prominent

elected progressive in the country--doing just that.

Yet even as he follows the progressive playbook, Wellstone is no sure

bet. In a state that gave America liberal Democratic icons like Hubert

Humphrey, Eugene McCarthy and Walter Mondale, and that has not backed

a Republican for President since 1972, current polls show Wellstone

running roughly even with Republican challenger Norm Coleman,a former

mayor of St. Paul. To be sure, Coleman has benefited from being 

"Bush's best boy" and from steady infusions of campaign cash that are 

available to the Administration's chosen ones. But the full explanation

for Wellstone's tight spot is found in a more complex calculation that

involves Wellstone himself, the changing character of the upper

Midwest, the flux in which the Democratic Party finds itself and the

Machinations of the people who manipulated Bush into the highest

Office in the land.” Sure, the Bush Administration is targeting Paul

This year, but Paul is never a shoo-in," says Myron Orfield, a

Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party (DFL) state senator widely

Regarded as one of the nation's top experts in the study of voting

Patterns. "Paul's a controversial guy. He's the little guy who takes

On the big guys. That’s not something the political process is

designed to reward these days. If you take strong stands you put

yourself at risk--and Paul takes more strong stands on more issues

than just about anyone else."

Virtually alone among Senate Democrats, Wellstone sees himself not

just as a member of Congress but as a member of a movement. He

identifies with progressives, organizes family-farm rallies in 

Washington, marches with striking hotel workers and dares to title a 

book The Conscience of a Liberal. That does not mean that Wellstone is 

the unbending leftist that his critics allege and that many of his

supporters would prefer. The man who began burning bridges with the Bush

family when he challenged then-President Bush's Persian Gulf War 

preparations on their first meeting ("Who is this chickenshit?" Bush Sr.

asked) may be the Senate's boldest foe of the Star Wars national

missile defense program and of increased military aid to Colombia. But

he disappointed peace activists when he joined a unanimous Senate vote

to authorize an ill-defined military response to the September 11

attacks and dismayed civil libertarians when he refused to join

Senator Russell Feingold's solo opposition to constitutionally dubious

Antiterrorism legislation.

Still, Wellstone has few rivals on the left side of the Senate aisle.

Congressional Quarterly says no senator had a more consistent record

of voting against Bush Administration proposals during the new

President's first year. Wellstone racks up 100 percent ratings from

the AFL-CIO, Americans for Democratic Action and the League of 

Conservation Voters. He is the veteran grassroots organizer hailed by 

consumer activists for waging a three-year battle to temper the 

draconian "bankruptcy reform" bill pushed by the credit card industry. 

He is the former college professor who has been the chief Senate voice 

of those who maintain that education-reform initiatives must involve 

better measures of success than standardized tests. He is the crusader 

for disability rights and healthcare reform who--since he was diagnosed

in February as having a mild form of multiple sclerosis--is in demand

not merely as an advocate but as a very human example of what the 

struggles are about. The Minneapolis Star Tribune recently described him

as "the go-to guy to advance the causes of educators, environmentalists,

consumer and labor groups, the elderly and THE POOR"

APPENDIX NUMBER ONE

LAST LETTERS TO AN ASSASINATED SENATOR

Dear Senator: 59 Billion are Missing at HUD

Dear Senator Wellstone: 7-22-02

Thank you for your 6-19-02 reply to my 6-04-02 letter concerning 59 BILLION dollars missing from HUD for fiscal 1999. Incidentally, your letter was just received on 7-20-02. It took a month to reach me. I am attaching a copy of my 6-04-02 letter for you and the good folks at the St.Paul Pioneer Press, Minneapolis Star Tribune and KQRS Radio so they will can follow along. In your response you say "I have forwarded your correspondence to the appropriate officials for further review and have requested that they contact you directly with their response." That is the only part of your letter in which you addressed the questions in my letter. I may be wrong but it sounds to me like you are saying that 59 BILLION taxpayer dollars missing and unaccounted for by a federal government agency is not your department...not your concern. Is this correct? Why would you feel that 59 BILLION taxpayer dollars missing from a federal agency is something that does not warrant your personal involvement? If you personally are not concerned or involved with 59 BILLION taxpayer dollars missing from just ONE federal agency in just ONE year, then please tell me at what point you do get involved and concerned?

And who are the "appropriate officials" that you passed your responsibility off to? I would dearly love to know who the "appropriate officials" are for getting back our 59 BILLION dollars. And I repeat my questions in that 6-04-02 letter: What HUD accounting firm got paid well to lose(or loot) 59 BILLION taxpayer dollars? Are they still doing the books? What are you doing to get our money back? I can tell you that Senator Dayton is refusing to answer questions about huge amounts of missing money within the DOD too. I have written him twice...once on 5-25-02 and on 6-23-02 asking about the GAO documented 3.3 TRILLION dollars missing from the DOD from fiscal 1997 to date. This is money that Secretary Rumfield admits is missing. Senator Dayton simply refuses to even reply. I suspect you guys are avoiding this because it will open a pandora's box and show the same corrupt book cooking going on under your own noses within the federal agencies, that you are now jumping on corporate America for. After all, the same accounting firms are involved with the federal agencies that are invovled with the Enron's and Worldcom's. And, as far as I know, those accounting firms are still very much employed by our federal agencies. So, please be advised that I am now also including the issue of the 3.3 TRILLION taxpayer dollars missing from the DOD to call to your attention. Is this amount large enough to warrant your personal concern and attention? By separate letter I will give you specific questions to address concerning the 59 BILLION missing from HUD and the 3.3 TRILLION missing from the DOD. I hope these specific questions will bring specific responses. Original letter enclosed below.

Sincerely,Rick Ensminger

The earlier,ORIGINAL LETTER TO WELLSTONE:

Dear Senator Wellstone: 6-04-02

I just read an article by Kelly O'Meara of Insight Magazine that says HUD is "missing" 59 BILLION taxpayer dollars for fiscal 1999!! How can there be 59 BILLION taxpayer dollars unaccounted for in one agency for just one year? HUD Inspector General Susan Gaffney says she doesn't know where the money went!! CFO Victoria Bateman doesn't know where the money went!! Fifty Nine BILLION is a lot more than a "computer glitch" problem. HUD's money moved thru a bank didn't it? They should be able to take bank records and find where the money went, can't they?

And then I read where Ollie North said, "HUD is like a candy store for covert revenues." What is going on here with HUD and our tax money? What accounting firm is getting paid well to lose(or loot) 59 BILLION taxpayer dollars? Is the same firm still doing their books? Is it the often sued American Management Systems? Is it, God forbid, Arthur Anderson? What are you doing to get our tax money back? I am outraged at this apparent flood-stage fleecing of our tax money!! I want to know what you are doing about it. Are you making any effort to find out where our hard earned money is going and why there is no accountability for where it goes?

Sincerely,Rick Ensminger
