Thanks Meek. Here's my letter:
Senator Murray,
You hold a very respected position in the United States Government. The public statements that you made regarding Usama bin Laden are utterly reprehensible for someone who is a national leader representing the United States of America. You are undermining the cause of the war against terrorism by offering aid and comfort to the sworn emenies of this nation.
Senator Lott, in the light of far more inocuous statements than yours, did an honorable thing by relinquishing his leadership post for the good of the country. Are you willing to make any sacrifice for the good of this country? My guess is that you aren't. I am suggesting that for the good of this country, and the success of the war on terrorism, that you resign your seat in the US Senate. At the very least, you must stop making statements that offer aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States of America while we are at war with that sworn enemy.
I am a verteran, and have made considerable sacrifice for my country. I resent anyone who would, in essence, blame America for any situation - and especially a U.S. war against an orginization dedicated to the elimination of our way of life. Please accept this as a very strong disapproval of your comments and attitudes toward this very real threat to our way of life and our freedom.
Sincerely,
You realize of course, that Patty Murray is now implicitly, in her defenseive spin-control, calling all veterans 'right wing haters'.
Excellent letter. Thanks !
I sent one in response to an editorial in the Seattle Post Intelligence. I doubt they will publish it, (since they're so liberal) but it felt good writing anyway.. :)
Here is their email address.

Dear Editor:
Regarding your lead editorial in defense of Senator Murray.
It's quite shocking that any American would support the words of a seditionist like Patty Murray. When you actually hear her spill forth her garbage, one can only conclude she is completely unfit to be a United States Senator.

While Bin Laden and his followers destroy places of work all over the world and builds roads to service terrorists training camps which murder thousands of Americans. While he and his Taliban butchers prevent women from learning, from obtaining an education, from leaving their home, from voting, or from earning a living, Patty Murray goes around spilling revisionist dogma heretofore reserved for fools.
She seems to be totally ignorant of hard working American groups like the Peace Corps and their thousands of volunteers who've risked their lives improving the living conditions of third world citizens around the world. She also seems to be completely ignorant of how much our country spends overseas in financial aid. An amount equaled by no nation on earth. An amount equaled by no nation in the history of the planet.
While many Americans, this holiday season, will spend some time mourning the death of their family members who were killed on 9/11 by Osama fanatics who praised Allah while flying aircraft into the faces of innocent women and children. Patty Murray seems to be spending her time defending a butchering enemy in front of a bunch of high school kids.
How could she be so ignorant of the generosity of Americans who give to the rest of the world with such abundance? How could the chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee in the 107th Congress be so completely out of touch with what it means to be an American?
Osama Bin Laden doesn't build he destroys! He has taken his enormous inherited wealth and spent it on thought controlling madrassa's which teach a medieval form of Islamic intolerance, on weapons and on terrorist training camps which seek to control and kill. Patty Murray, and those who support the words she has spoken, should be embarrassed for their ignorance and seditionist speech.
No doubt her words will be repeated by Bin Laden's fanatical followers to help enlist another ten thousand murderers who's sole purpose will be the destruction of American culture. In fact, it's has already begun to happen as the Taliban Online highlighted her speech with the headline "Democrat Senator praises bin Laden".
How she sleeps at night astonishes me.
Patty Murray should move to a place similar to Kabul, before we ousted the Taliban, so she can better understand the world Bin Laden and his ilk seek to create for women. She should also demonstrate how much she values Osami's utopian female vision of life by giving up her right to vote, own property, get educated and get permission to leave the home, all while wearing a Burkha?
The rest of us should call for her resignation and if not obtained elect someone else to represent Washington State in the Senate. Further, the Seattle Post Intelligence editorial board (P-I for Programming Ivan), should re-examine their motivation to defend her in order to better understand why so many Washington residents see the paper as nothing more then an extreme liberal rag good for wrapping fish at Pikes Place Market and little else.
