27. Sure thing!
Edited on Mon Jul-21-03 02:42 PM by CafeToad
I'm still working on trying to portray the right combination of righteous indignation but, at the same time, keeping the level of obnoxiousness relatively low (the latter is difficult).

I've heard that the Bush administration refuses to let the media show the bodies as they're returned to Dover - if nothing else I hope that my current emailing efforts will provide confirmation of this fact (so far, I've found that big media outlets only send back canned responses that don't address this issue directly - and local, small town outlets actually send back personalized replies - but they are powerless to do anything without the newsfeeds from AP (or where ever they come from) and are generally light years behind the DU curve in actually knowing what's going on in the world.

On edit - once I get the letter polished, I'll probably post it over in the general discussion forum in case it will help encourage a general letter writing campaign.
