My letter from The Nation editor, clarifying editing.
I am posting just enough of an excerpt of a letter I received. I appreciated the letter a great deal at this time.

"We made one change in the letter after
____ ______ in Kucinich's office asked us to because they had gotten
one fact wrong, which we neglected to catch and fix before we published
it on our site."

"Thanks for writing and allowing me to clear this
up."
Sincerely,
Peter Rothberg, The Nation

1. You are a woman possessed.
I'm glad you got the clarification you wanted so badly. I admire your determinedness as well. In my youth, I was much the same! LOL!

2. I am way past youth. Just stubborn.
My children and grandchildren agree I am possessed.

4. And my husband is not sure what to think.
:hi:

He's pretty possessed himself over this issue.

6. Very nice article.
I needed to be persistent. I am not used to having my credibility questioned. I had to know.

Nice blog.

9. I found out today something interesting.
I found out that others were concerned enough about me to call and write the magazine. I thought that was nice. Much appreciated. A couple shared their nice emails with me.

12. Thanks for the update on that "Madfloridian."
Amazing that Kucinich's staff let that one out or that he made the mistake in the first place, but glad to hear that you straightened it out and got some help here.

:-)'s to you :hug:

13. Yes, thanks. Pretty upset.
Some stuff I saw really upset me, but I know I was not to blame.

15. A kick for more of the letter.
I would like to post it in the Kucinich forum, but I won't. I think someone should care enough about truth to do so, since the post is still there accusing me.

"We made one change in the letter after
Doug Gordon in Kucinich's office asked us to because they had gotten
one fact wrong, which we neglected to catch and fix before we published
it on our site. ......... Thanks for writing and allowing me to clear this
up.
Sincerely,
Peter Rothberg, The Nation"

I left out a couple of sentences, but the rest is verbatim.
