****Calling DU Writers!! Will Pitt, H2O Man, USL, Octafish and so many
other excellent writers...Please one of you start a DU thread like Will did for Reid. Let's do it NOW in support of The Most Honorable Rep. John Murtha...A DU Letter of Support!

2. Why not just write a letter yourself?
I'm sure lots of individual letters would have more effect.

3. Will Pitt generated 1,000's of DU responses in a few hours! It was
wonderful. I couldn't do that. Nor could most DUers.

4. But what difference would it make?
What would have most impact:

One letter with 1000 signiatures;

1000 identical letters;

or 1000 unique letters?

I think the latter.

What 999 other DUers do doesn't really matter - urge them if you want, but what matters is what you do. Do you just want to sign something, or do you want to say something?

7. I can see your point. But we can do that for ourselves, and hopefully
already have. The DU response as a community is par excellence! We help each other as a group, and help support others at the same time.

5. i agree...
one letter with so many signatures would certainly give me pause,...where as hundreds coming in...would get to be monotonous.

11. TU mzmolly! I was the one who suggested the same for Reid's
wonderful courageous stance before. Will wrote the letter, and so many DUers responded. I'm sure that Reid appreciated it, and it was such a positive moment of unity for DU.

12. Oh Thanks! I didn't read the petition portion. I will certainly sign
after reading. But let's do it as DUers too!

14. I do think that's a good idea.
I could try to work on something tomorrow, but some other DUers are far better writers than I am.
