Two LTE to share from my local paper: (Good ones)
Edited on Wed Sep-08-04 09:08 AM by democratreformed
1. What America Doesn't Stand For
Dear Editor,
"How can America support George W. Bush, who promised
compassionate conservatism, yet has us divided not just amongst
ourselves, but amongst the world?"

SNIP
It goes on to say that Bush has not brough OBL to justice, that
Iraq is not tied to Al Queda and talks about him questioning the
patriotism of citizens who refuse to keep believing his lies.

SNIP
"America, this is not what we stand for. We are not about a man
who hands out tax relief to the richest among us."....

"America is not about the 'No Child Left Behind' act. More tests
are not the answer"....

"ohn Kerry and John Edwards do not have all the answers. But
they are the right direction. They understand what it means to
be American."

2. Who's In Charge Here?
Dear Editor,
"My fellow Americans, do ot let fear lead you to follow the
misguided actions of President Bush and his administration."...

SNIP
"From President Bush's statement in Bob Woodward's book 'Bush at
War', he would have us believe that he is the sovereign:
'I'm the commander - see, I don't need to explain why I say
things, that's the interesting thing about being the president.
Maybe someone needs to explain to me why they say something, but I
don't feel like I owe anybody and explanation.' - GW Bush

I encourage all my fellow Americans to exercise their vote in
November to show that we cannot be misled into a needless war,
send President Bush back to Texas, and that we the people are the
sovereigns of this free and democratic country."

I just wanted to share these with DU.
They are both from the Searcy Daily Citizen - www.thedailycitizen.com
I'm not sure if the LTE are online though.
