Please help persuade Undecided Voters...PLEASE!!!
Here's the letter I wrote--THE NEW YORK TIMES editor called today about publishing it, but they require exclusive rights, and I'd already submitted it to major daily papers around the country.

To Undecided Voters: Respectfully submitted for your consideration

If you're still undecided at this late date, consider this: Barring a compelling reason not to do so, it's always a good idea to vote for the party that's out of power in order to keep our system of checks and balances working.

Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Our founding fathers carefully constructed a constitution embodying these checks and balances to keep this country free by diminishing the chances that any one group would be able to acquire total control of the government. Yet, with this election, all that could change.
Republicans are now in control of both the administrative and legislative branches of government--and if Bush is reelected, will be able to take control of the judiciary as well.

Thank you for considering my argument, and may you rest easy with your decision, whatever it is.

Having read the letter, if you'd be willing to help me get it out by emailing it to dailies in your state--or anybody's state--please contact me here or at lfs@megagate.com.

2. A very good letter.
I wish I knew some uncommitted voters. Today I went to a rally where Wes Clark spoke, and he urged everybody to talk to 2 undecided voters and persuade them to vote for Kerry. So I racked my brain and could not come up with 2 people I think are undecided. Everybody I know is either totally committed to Kerry or they're hard-core freepazoid Republicans. So I hope your letter is published and whatever uncommitted voters out there read it and are persuaded...
