Hillary, Hear Our Prayer
In response to an op-ed piece in The Times by Hillary Clinton, I wrote her the following letter:
Dear Senator Clinton:
First let me say that I am an enormous fan of both you and your husband and I am a devoted democrat. I am writing to you today because I read your op-ed piece in The Times which reminded me that you and many other Democrat leaders are in a difficult position right now and need the support and feedback of your constituents.
First, I agree with your piece and feel that economic and domestic issues have taken a back seat to the aggressive campaign of Bush and the Republican Hawks against the rest of the world (you maybe did not say all of this, but we are all thinking it). What has he done to relieve these financial burdens and pressures on every day Americans other than give tax breaks to wealthy corporations and obscure the obscene criminal actions of CEO's? His so-called "War on Terrorism" is really just another version of corporate welfare as he funds his and his cronies' oil and military ventures.
I am very concerned that Democrats are cowed by the alleged popularity of this President who was not even elected by the majority of the American people. We owe it to our fellow Americans and the spirit of our country to fight Dubya and his media machine with a consistent and constant message. We do not want war with Iraq for the sake of American oil interests, we want peace, security, and welfare for all peoples of every nation, and we will not stand for the fraudulent co-opting of the American dream by ruthless corporations bent on world domination via the almighty dollar.

Anyway, she probably won't read my letter but I wanted her to know that not every American wants to race in and "give 'em hell."
