Ok, I'm not an spelling ace or that good in punctuation, so can someone plese tell me if this following letter has any problems in it.

Dear Senator:

As a conserned citizen of this country, I am requesting for your support of Representative Conyers in his investigation of election fraud in Ohio.

The proof of voter suppression, inequality in distribution of voting machines, machine malfunctions, and purposeful fraud I have read about, has shaken my confidence in the outcome of the election.

And as a citizen of this great country, I therefore impore you to honor your duty as Senator of the United States to defend and protect our Constitution, by not accepting the vote of the illegal electors for President and Vice President of the United States with Representative Conyers on Jauary 6th.

Sincerely,

First and Last name
Poughkeepsie, New York

2. It's not really a good idea to publish your
name on these boards.

FReepers have been known to target us where we live.
There was a woman who reported the Bush twins for underage
drinking and the FReeps published her full name and address]
and phone number and everything and advocated violence
against her.

4. Good letter.
A couple of typos: should be "concerned" in the first line, and "implore" in the 5th line.

7. Three quick suggestions: Try using the DU spell check feature, and
you might want to edit your name out of your post, as you never know who may be lurking and reading here.

Two words that jump out at me immediately are concerned and January, for example.

You can also remove the word And from the beginning of your final paragraph, as well.

11. January is missing it's "n."
"with Representative Conyers on Jauary 6th."

I hope that's not your real name. These people are right, it's not a good idea to post it.

17. You might consider adding some URLs with documentation
Documentation for Ohio is at: http://www.freepress.org/departments/display/19

and http://northnet.org/minstrel/alpage.htm

Documentation of the widespread Florida and New Mexico vote machine fraud and suppression is at: http://www.flcv.com/fraudpat.html

18. 3 Quick Changes
Solid, succinct letter! Kudos for posting it here first!

1) Remove "for" in first sentence after comma;

2) Change "purposeful" to "deliberate" in middle of second sentence; and

3) "Implore" is missing an l after comma in third sentence.
