Be the Media! Write a heart felt essay to your friends and family!

[BamaBecky]

If 60,000 of us sit down and write an essay about what we know about what's happening in America today and SNAIL MAIL it out across the US, we could open some eyes and maybe some closed minds too!

Try it! All of you have a computer and a printer. Get busy, spread your influence, tell them what you know. Tell them how to find out more information, where to go, and what to look for. The time is right. The mood is right! Tell it like it is!

I think it's important to snail mail this out. I believe people will delete e-mails, but will sit down in their easy chair to read a letter from you! I have sent out 25 in the last 2 days. My goal is to mail out 200! How many can you get out?

It's easy to do. Just sit down and write what you think! Don't copy somebody else. Just do it. I would put mine online, but I don't want it copied and I don't want the "powers that be" hunting me down.

Come back to this post and report on your progress.

3. This goes for all you stealth 'conservatives' out there

Look at the basic conservative core values and compare them with what Fearless Leader and his band of corporate cronies and daddy warbucks investment bankers have done to this country. I don't think I need to describe the expletives. Barry Goldwater is rolling in his grave.

4. recently had letter published on editorial page

regards bush should be impeached..

'Mr Bush is a serial liar..Lies into war that cost lifes and money.
Lies about SS and Va benifits....Tax cuts and jobs for his croonies and hands the bill to the working class.He is already planning more wars and is fast to launch wars BUT avoided the VN war and has a questionable discharge.

10. Good suggestion - It'll be a good weekend project

but I'll have to be gentle with my father - he's in such turmoil about his beloved Republican party, & he's not a spring chicken, so my letter to him will be diplomatic.

12. Yes, I believe diplomacy is the only way we will reach them.

Angry as we may be at those who voted for this administration, especially twice(!), name calling & hateful rhetoric will not open any minds. My mother is a bushite & having a dreadful time coming to terms with his lies & incompetence. She still watches fox & drinks the koolaid daily. She loves O'Rielly & teethed on Rush. She lives in fantasyland.

I've contemplated a project like this the past few months, but have not set down to do it. Maybe it's time. Good luck with your letter!

11. I have an aunt that sent out a beautiful rant in lieu of Xmas cards

Everyone had to read it; they thought it was a holiday greeting!!
