Here is a direct copy of the letter as I sent it.(I modified the one to the Washington Post to thank them for their C-Span ventures.)



I hope this clarifies my position in your eyes, and again I only intended to draw attention that while I may support Feingold, I am still all for impeaching anyone who supported the Patriot Act, no questions asked.
I'm going to keep an eye out for the letter in some of those papers. But, as someone who routinely sends letters to my local rag, they will more than likely butcher it. It's probably too long and when they edit these things they do the worst possible job.

I can recall twice they started my letter with "I read the article in the Journal..." Not only did I not write that, of COURSE I read it in the paper. Why the hell would I be sending THEM a letter if I hadn't? They have the power to make you look like an idiot. Not to say they WILL, just that they CAN, so be warned. :)


Not a day goes by that I don't see something that reinforces my belief that people are idiots.
