I fired off the letter below to the nitwit in Washington state very early this morning. I'm really mad about all this but I don't know what to do. I'm too tired this morning to think of another letter for the newspaper--I'll try to think of something later. Let me know if anyone starts a petition--I'd love to sign something to show my disgust.

Senator Murray:

I found your December 18, 2002 remarks to a group of students in Vancouver, Washington to be very bizarre. What kind of leftwing pap were you trying to feed these children!?!

Are you saying that the United States should try to emulate the good deeds of that kind man from the Middle East, Mr. Laden? How can Americans stop being barbarians and start being a people that do good in the world as you so richly described Mr. Laden and his works? Please expound so we can all learn from your wisdom.

It is amusing, however, that in the Osama created utopia of Afghanistan, there aren't too many people storming the gates to get in. On the other hand, evil America seems to have a more than fair share of wannabe's--some waiting in line and many sneaking across its borders.

In your backpedaling statement of December 20, you state:

"Having a challenging and thoughtful discussion about America's future reflects the best values of a free democracy;..."

I submit that your propaganda to a group of captive, impressionable teenagers was not challenging and thoughtful.

On Michael Medved's December 20th radio program, he stated that he would be willing to have a challenging and thoughtful discussion with you. He's in your neck of the woods, I believe? Why don't you try to contact
him because I know he would love to have you on his show so you can indulge in the challenge and thoughtfulness that eluded you on December 18th.

Sincerely,

P.S. Please do not share this letter with Tom Daschle--he's a little frightened by free speech these days.
