I'm shocked! My LTTE was published!

Too Cool!

On edit:

Forgot to post a link to the letter. All three letters in the online version were about Rove, Plame, etc.

1. Congrats. I think that the thing that may turn Americans is that a
traitor has no political spin.

12. No, but I've encountered far too many people who simply do not
understand the issue. The who leaked what to whom and when gets them bogged down. And then they shrug and a "So what? One CIA agent was exposed." Only when I explain that it put her life in danger AND compromised a twenty year intelligence network, shut down a front company and undermined national security do they begin to see the picture. Unfortunately, way too many people don't see what the big deal is. I guess blow jobs are easier to understand.

Massive education campaign is necessary.

9. Hey, I got involved...
because I kept seeing what everyone here was doing, and we really do make a difference. We're a force to be reckoned with.

I volunteered for Kerry last year, all in the midst of our hurricane relocation, and it was way cool. This activism thing kinda suits me, I think. :)

I just fired mine off, better late than never, and I figure it's faster than snail mail anyway, so (fingers crossed). This is exciting! :)

10. Excellent!
I sent mine to my two local papers. I'm hoping at least one of them will print it, but I haven't heard anything back yet.

11. The Tucson Citizen didn't contact me
I just checked out the online version and ....voila ... it was there! Every paper has it's own rules for publishing LTTEs.

Here's hoping yours will be printed or published soon!!!
