OMG!!!! Cafferty just read my letter!!!!
Edited on Wed Aug-02-06 05:09 PM by me b zola
Okay, so he got my name wrong, he said Zita, not Zola---but who cares?!!!!!


on edit, here's my letter!!!!

Rep Conyers is spot on. As Bush promotes bombing the Middle East to convince them of the advantages of constitutional democracy, our own Constitution lies in tatters. Spying on Americans, detaining Americans without due process, an Executive Office acting unilaterally bypassing the Congress and many laws. I no longer recognize my contry.

This is the destruction of America that Bin Ladin never could have accomplished.




Hoot!! Cafferty shaved a few things off, I had origionally ended my letter by telling America to Wake-up. Oh well!!!!

I am prolly one of the least articulate here at DU. Every now and then I'm able to put something together that conveys what I am feeling inside.

Thanks again!

35. One of the least articulate? Coulda fooled me! GREAT stuff.
If it's short, clever, and painfully to the point, it's VERY likely to make air. As yours did. It OBVIOUSLY fit the bill. And it was SO spot-on.

Hammer it home, guys. Hammer it home. The more this kind of sentiment sees the light of day, or gets published in some way (preferably a mainstream vehicle like Cafferty's), the better. ESPECIALLY for those who might be watching who just haven't put the words (or the sentiment, OR even the sheer realization) together for themselves. This will help them. The White House doesn't mind a bit issuing talking points to manipulate the public discourse and influence opinion. Which is why we need people like you doing so for OUR side.

EXCELLENT work!

It's a good letter. And it's not the first time I've taken note of things you've written, mbz, so you must be communicating.

Then, of course, are they days that I spend with at least one of my feet in my mouth. :silly:

I monkeyed around with the text for about a half of an hour--no genius I.

There were many other things that I wanted to bring into the letter, but the forum called for it to be short and sweet so I got it down to bare bones.

Thanks again.

I jumped out of my chair when he said "Portland, OR". Then I proceeded to scream when he read the first line--it didn't help Mr. Zola's migraine.

56. Thank you
The last line came from a couple of discussions that we have had in GD regarding the subject of terrorism, and who really poses a threat to our way of life. Bin Laden, or any other person with an agenda, can occassionally inflict death and suffering to Americans, but they have zero power to actually destroy "America". America is a set of ideas rooted in the rule of law, the only ones who can destroy that is US.

Thanks again. :hug:

57. Kicking this, just so more people can see it.
See? You try... you send stuff in... sometimes a guy like Cafferty actually picks it out to read it on the air.

Sometimes the good guys really do score.
