Sure thing, here is the letter. Folks can use your links to get to the sources.

Letter from 12-year-old to AFA regarding Dr. Pepper

Dear Sir,

I am a 12-year-old home-school student. My mom helped me find your e-mail address and suggested I e-mail some Christian and family organizations because I am very concerned with Dr. Pepper's new design on their cans.

I noticed they have "one nation...indivisible" on their cans and left out "under God." I told my mom and she helped me e-mail Dr. Pepper. They responded and said there wasn't room on the can. They said "in light of recent events they were trying to catch the spirit of patriotism."

I responded and suggested they move their nutritional information box down or use a smaller type or both. I told them there wasn't a good reason for leaving "under God" out because our nation is based on God. They did not respond to my second e-mail.

On my 12th birthday, I was sitting in front of the TV with my parents watching terrorists bomb my country. You see Sept. 11 is my birthday. On the day that was supposed to be most special to me out of the whole year except Jesus' birthday, I saw my America under attack and going to war.

I should know about what Dr. Pepper calls "patriotism in light of recent events." My world will never be the same. I want to get Christians united in a boycott against Dr. Pepper until they put "under God" back on their cans. Can you please help me? Could you please e-mail me back. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Alyssa Haynie
Colt, Arkansas

I've got to say that having a good heart doesn't mean that you have the brains of a rabbit in this thing. So much for pulling together after 9/11.
