Letters For Change

Dropped below the fold to give room to new work.

As I said a few days ago this blog was changing its focus to attempt to make a real change instead of the worthless blog bickering that completely dominates most of the blogosphere. I intend to make this post permanently at the top and contain the links to letters and emails sent to important persons that can effect positive change in the world. These do not need to be only my letters but if anyone would like to send a letter to someone that can effect change I will gladly link to their letter and response as well. I will do my best to categorize this appropriately but can't guarantee a complete structure.

As it begins I will be starting with a basic structure with no links that will hopefully build into a plethora of letters to politicians, public figures, big business professionals and the occasional entertainer. So here begins the basic structure:


Politicians
Present and past presidents:

Congressmen and senators:

Email to - Senator George Allen of Virginia


Other American Politicians:

Foreign Politicians:


Public Figures
Philanthropsists:

Evangelists and religious leaders:

Protestors and Protest Groups:

Collegiate Allumni and Documentarians:


Big Business(Sorted by industry as they are written.)


Entertainers
Musicians:

Thespians:

Sports Professionals:

News Media:

Print Media:

Radio Personalities:


Hopefully it will not take too long begin populating this with both your letters and my own. This was the main reason I got into blogging in the first place so I really hope having the added support of bloggers will help in the responses garnered.

Wish me luck.

Neat. Will you also include links to responses from any of those who are written to (like politicians?)

Cool idea...I LIKE IT.
I'm doing something sort of like this...once a week will pick a topic and link it, write about it, discuss it...all that stuff. FOCUS. Good stuff. And important!

WOnderful! You have always known what you wanted in your blog, so outlining it is a super plan. Keeping it on track might take some doing but if anyone can do it, I know you can.

In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, President Bush and Republicans in Congress have refused to consider rolling back the $336 billion in new tax cuts that the richest 1 percent are slated to get over the next five years. They say we need to pay for reconstruction not by asking the wealthiest to sacrifice just a little bit, but by massive cuts to spending. And now we see what that means: The Navy Times today reports that those cuts "include trimming military quality-of-life programs, including health care" . . . This, while troops are fighting and dying for our country in Iraq.


. . . The specifics are ugly. They are, for instance, asking troops to "accept reduced health care benefits for their families." Additionally, "the stateside system of elementary and secondary schools for military family members could be closed." In the past, this idea "has faced strong opposition from parents of children attending the schools because public schools [in and around bases] are seen as offering lower-quality education."

None of this, I suppose, is all that surprising. In the past, we've seen tax cuts put before making sure troops have adequate body armor heading into war - a tax/budget decision that very likely increased U.S. casualties. We've also seen Republicans vote down efforts to reduce tax cuts for the very wealthy in order to restore cuts to military family housing. And we've seen tax cuts come as the White House has refused to adequately fund a variety of other programs for troops. The truth is, the GOP has in moments of candor admitted that they care about cutting taxes for the wealthy far more than they care about the troops.

As you may recall, it was Tom DeLay who said before the Iraq invasion "Nothing is more important in the face of a war than cutting taxes." Apparently, nothing is more important in the face of a war AND massive destruction to the homefront than tax cuts either.

Government… as it pertains to the ongoing tyranny of this planet… a time of reflection is in order.

“But when a long Train of Abuses and Usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a Design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their Right, it is their Duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future Security.”
The Declaration of Independence – 1776

Oh, I see you got a ping from this Dantes' chap as well. Heh, whatevah.

I see you're shop is up and running a bit. Keep up the good letters! I have a suggestion: one to Chuck Schumer, asking when he's going to accept the blame for his staff's illegal activities as regards the Michael Steele affair, also known as "Chuckaquiddick."
