I suggest that you send this specifically to Joni Balter at the Times (jbalter@seattletimes.com), as she is the likely author of the editorial.

Steve,

Many thanks for that address. I've just re-sent the letter to her directly. Not that they'd actually have the guts to publish it, of course, but sometimes you just have to try.

May I suggest that everyone contact their senators (you can get the details from http://www.senate.gov) and send them a letter like this one...

Senators,

I respectfully request that you take immediate steps to begin disciplinary action against a member of your body, one Senator Patty Murray of the State of Washington. I believe that her recent public statements regarding Usama bin Laden are of severe enough import to require that she be impeached from the United States Senate.

To wit, her statements (which have been recorded and witnessed) fall under Article III, Section 3 of the Constitution of the United States. Her words are providing aid and comfort to an enemy of the United States (Usama bin Laden, Al Qaeda and associated terrorist organisations) during a time of war. This is in direct violation of her oath to preserve and protect the Constitution.

I also request, respectfully, that you take all necessary steps to publicly condemn her statements and her actions.

Many thanks.
