We’ve been getting more letters critical of President Bush than those that support him. We’re not sure why, nor do we want to guess. But in today’s increasingly polarized political environment, we would prefer our offering to put forward a better sense of balance.
Since we depend upon you, our readers, to supply our letters, that goal can be difficult. We can’t run letters that we don’t have.
[...]
If you would like to help us "balance" things out, send us a letter, make a call or punch out an e-mail. Read the handy box at the bottom of the page for more information. We’d love to hear from you.
I think we can help these nice folks out. Use this form; follow these rules; and keep your letters under 300 words. Here's a list of Our Leader's accomplishments if you need it.
I'm going to claim GOP Team Leader points for this activity, so please post your letter in the comments. That way I can get a count.
Since I'm making it a GOP Team Leader activity, you'll need to send the exact same letter to all of your local newspapers as well. I think that's some kind of GOP Team Leader rule--at least it seems that way. You can use the handy form provided by the fine God-fearing people at the American Family Association to send them all at once.
Here's my letter:
Dear Editor,
I support George W. Bush's visionary plan to turn the Middle East into one large terrorist incubator. His daily efforts to fuel that region's hatred of Americans has been wildly successful. Thanks to the President's bold leadership, there are now more American-hating terrorists on the loose than at any other time in our history.
Eventually, every single resident of the Middle East who could possibly become a terrorist, will be one. Then, it's just a matter of time until we round them all up and end the threat of terrorism once and for all.
JC Christian, patriot
Note to my readers:
Thanks to readers Ed and Ned--no, I am not making that up--for the tip, and that damned fancy belgian endive farmer for sparking the idea.
I work ten hour days with a 1.5 hour commute each way. Adding family time, that means I don't have a lot of time to answer many of the letters you send. I read them all, and I love the feedback, but I worry that my lack of response may offend people. I hope that's not the case.
