My LTTE is going to be published in a Green Bay newspaper, * was here
Edited on Thu Jul-15-04 08:53 PM by bobthedrummer
yesterday playing to bussed in crowds of Brownshirt Republicans, most of them young.
Here's my LTTE.

"The administration of George W. Bush is full of criminals, in my politically informed opinion. The neo-conservative influence and ideology is bordering where treason lies-but most definitely serious crimes have been perpetrated against the people and OUR Constitution.

I'm a 7th generation American citizen, an independent voter and wouldn't care to see him or his campaign anywhere in Wisconsin (except behind bars, if there's any justice for someone that seems to "lead" by imperial decree-not by our democratic process).

At this critical time in US history voting for John Kerry and John Edwards is vital to restoring a lawful democracy to leadership, in my opinion.

Sincerely,"

Please critique the LTTE.

1. THAT
is a very good letter, Bob. In your very first sentence, you make your point AND you matter-of-factly and very clearly state your "credentials" (i.e., that you are politically informed). You say in just a few words what many of us need long paragraphs to do.

2. Thanks, I worked for a college newspaper as a journalist and old school
editor (78-80). I got to interview the Governor of Michigan a couple of times, lol.

I appreciate your critique, gristy.

4. You got to know Bill Milliken, Bob? He's a GOOD Republican.
... One of the few remaining willing to stand up to the turds of the BFEE and neo-Reich!

Greeeeeeat Letter! After the first sentence I started to get out of my chair, raised my fist and headed for the toolshed to find my sharp pitchfork.

9. It was Gov. Milliken indeed. There are decent Republicans who aren't
supporting or voting for Bush.

But, Octafish, you realize that I live in Wisconsin, so I'm more into Wisconsin politics-a Wisconsin that was hurt by the privatization schemes of eugenicist, war criminal and war profiteer (imo) Tommy Thompson--who put the numero uno anthrax suspect imo, Jerome Hauer, (hired from SAIC by Tommy Thompson 9-10-2001!) in charge of the nation's biodefense:scared::puke::grr:

Never forget the fact that immediately after the 9/11 attacks, but well before the anthrax attacks, Tommy Thompson and Jerome Hauer promoted the use of Cipro in government, and then Tommy Thompson bragged about his negotiating skills with the I.G. Farben spin-off BAYER for 300 million doses-WHILE INNOCENT US POSTAL SERVICE EMPLOYEES WERE IN HOT ZONES.

Was Tommy Thompson psychic, immediately after 9/11? How come specific bio-agent anthrax was the antidote chosen? Btw, what's happened with the anthrax investigation?

6. It's short and to the point - just what they like best. Not to mention the
fact that it's full of TRUTH! It's what needs to be said. Glad you gave a damn enough to write - GREAT job!

It's free, and I'm honored that you'd ask such a thing.
Go for it!
