A letter to the editor I just posted

So John McCain and Sarah Palin are now trying to use Bill Ayers and Jeremiah Wright against Barack Obama.
How sad.
If this is all John McCain has, it is even MORE important to elect Barack Obama President of the United States. We are in a financial crisis worse than any since the Great Depression; we are in an unneccessary war that is costing us $10 Billion per month while Al-Qaeda grows stronger; 43 million Americans are without health insurance, and we shed 159,000 jobs in the last month!
And McCain/Palin want to talk about Ayers and Wright, because they hope you will be stupid enough to be distracted by a scratch on your coffee table while your house burns down around you - especially because policies they favor started the fire in the first place.

That should definitely be printed! Short, concise and to the point!

Thank you!

LOVE the last line!

:kick: & REC'D!!!

My day just got made - like a blessing direct from the Pope!
Thanks!

add: the made-up charges about Ayers and Wright, or the lies about Obama's associations

I think every letter needs to point out it's not just bringing it up, but the lie that it is.

And when I submit this LTTE to other papers, I will incoroporate that.
Thanks for the suggestion!

The most effective LTTE are short and to the point.

I'm always in awe of people who can write like that. It's a skill.

What a great letter! Your "scratch on the coffee table" really brings the point home.

Well done. :applause:
