blogging from beyond the grave: the return of Abraham Lincoln
I'll post only the intro here; to read Lincoln's letter, you'll have to visit the linked page. It contains numerous relevant and great quotes from Honest Abe.

source: http://scoop.epluribusmedia.org/story/2007/8/11/25015/2428

As I have had no luck at all in my frequent correspondences with my congressman and senators, I have finally come to the sad conclusion that I am simply not important enough, and my opinion is of no consequence.

In light of my apparent uselessness, I approached my late friend Abraham Lincoln and have asked him if he might use his considerable respect, leverage and mastery of the English language to write a letter to Congress on my behalf.

Due to his... inability to use a keyboard, and slight confusion as to the workings of the internets, I have offered to take this letter down as dictation, and he has allowed me the option of slipping in a few words of my own: the agreement being that I attribute his own words via use of blockquotes.

Sincerely, feduphoosier


Go to the source page to read Lincoln's letter entitled Gentlemen and Ladies of the Congress.
