I submit My latest letter to the editor for your critique
Edited on Sun Jul-11-04 05:06 PM by proud patriot
What has happened to the land I love Home of the Brave land of the Free .
It has been reported the The U.S. Government is making plans for the
postponement of The Presidential Election . How does that make you feel ?
I read polls that say a large percentage of Americans are willing to give away
Freedoms . My Grandfather didn't fight in WWII defending Freedom, for Americans to give Freedom away . All those who died From Minute Men Revolutionaries to our Brave Heroes serving in Iraq today didn't fight for you to Give up What they were protecting .

How Dare bush policy supporters SHAME our fighting men and women by allowing the Fear of Terrorism to make citizens cower . We are Americans and we do not LIVE IN FEAR . We shall not waver . Terrorism can murder individuals but terrorism can't kill America . Giving away our Freedoms is the only thing that can kill America .

I ask how did we get here ? How did we get to a place where Americans are willing to give up America's entire reason for existence ? Freedom , Liberty The American Way . Til all the Flesh is Ripped from my Bones I will Yell with patriotic pride "Don't Tread On Me" .

Please Vote, Patriots everywhere are counting on you
in this the most important election in U.S. History .

3. Good deal!
The time to start getting people outraged about this is NOW! This is being subtly floated repeatedly to get people used to the idea...it's sounds so reasonably. We need to blitz EVERYTHING with the notion that if we allow terrorists or OTHER third parties to interfere with the ACTUAL EVENT of an election then we have no freedom left worth fighting for.

4. Terrific letter
:thumbsup:

Once Freedom is relinquished, it is difficult to get it back. We shouldn't have even started down that path.

5. They want us to continue shopping when the threats
are supposedly high. But never mind the election.

:eyes:
How transparent they are.

Let's hope the Sheeple don't buy into it!

Your letter is a great start. We need to use that slogan: If we don't vote, the terrorists win!" . Use there own words right back at them, and this time it will be true!

10. Excellent. It should
be printed to highlight how this mal-administration is willing to drag the constitution through depravity so that they can get their way.

12. Powerful letter, proud patriot!
You address the fundamental issues our founding fathers created. I hope it is published, all of us need to write on this issue and the Valerie Plame saga. Send this letter to every congress member and media outlets. We must be heard in this fight to take back our country.

18. Looks great
Maybe add a quick line that says something like "Bush policy supporters want us at war on the pretence of not being afraid of terrorists - yet they use fear to try to keep the public in line." If you add it, add it after your "How Dare bush policy supporters SHAME our fighting men and women by allowing the Fear of Terrorism to make citizens cower ." :hi: :loveya:
