Speaking of HELP!!!

I've never started a FR thread (and am not sure I have the ambition right now to figure out which place such a thread should be placed LOL). I just posted the info below on the the Dose and OWF suggested that it should be its own thread. I believe it's another reason why our work here "getting the word out" on FR is important:

Post #212 on the Dose:

From: Best of the Web:

Who's Missing?
The U.S. State Department Web site features a page linking to "famous speeches" of American history, including Patrick Henry's "Give me liberty or give me death," Washington's Farewell Address and Lincoln's Gettysburg address. But the choice of more-recent orators is, shall we say, somewhat limited. It includes two links to Martin Luther King speeches, including the "I have a dream" speech, which is one of the great orations of the 20th century. The list also includes FDR, JFK, LBJ, Carter and Clinton--five of the seven Democrats who served in the White House during the 20th century--and even a speech by Hillary Clinton.

But there's nothing from Eisenhower, Reagan, either Bush--or, for that matter, from any Republican other than Lincoln.

Anybody know who all we should write to complain about this travesty!? (I mean: Hillary Clinton warrants a speech there and Reagan doesn't!?)

Since it's the State Department's website, I would suggest starting with Colin Powell.
