5. Received same e-mail. here is my reply

Hi All: I received the same e-mail and although is off the topic, I took the opportunity to let him know how I feel about the election. I ask your forgiveness for my English writing skills. It is my second language.

Dear Mr. Kerry:



I just received your letter and I was heartbroken to read your comment about the "end of what has been an extraordinary year". I had dreams and hopes that you would fight to the end and contest this election. You and 56 million other Americans know the result of this election was a false. You should have fought for us. You inspired me to work hard for you and to believe again that there was a system where all of our voices could had been heard. You inspired to believe in politics and politicians. You inspired to give my time and registered thousands of people to vote. I am a mother of two that works all day but still took time off to participate in our democratic process because of you. I attended every rally I could when you visited us in Florida, although I never had the chance to meet you or see you up-close, I was just happy to show up and see the multitude and people's faces. They were all craving for the same thing I was. An honest leader.

November 3rd was a black day for me. I didn't go to work; I called in sick at work and cried all day. Something went wrong, I wondered. Now I know that the voting machines had been hacked, and this was pre-planed by the Bush people probably long time ago.

You conceded and didn't keep your promise of fighting for us and for having our back. Now, what should I do? Now, who do I trust? Now, what will happen with my future or kid’s future? Where was the leader I saw in the campaign and in the rallied I went to? Mr. Kerry, where are you? Why aren't you fighting for us? You were my only and last hope.


I guess I should retreat and surrender.
