Here' wat I had to say



John,

I was reading your piece in the Denver Post and wanted to give a little
feedback. At the age of 51 this will be the first time I cast a vote. I
knew in 1963 that politics was a dirty and devisive process that offered
less chance of benefit than a trip to Las Vegas. Around the middle of last
March, I knew that I had to play the game in spite of the odds.
Every day since then I have invested most waking hours to become informed
and try to change the direction of our country.
Every day since then I've shed tears and said prayers for people like Justin
and Harry, their families and those who love them.
Every day since then I've done what I can to make people aware of the cost
of our government policies.
Every day since then I've beat myself up for not doing something before now.


I know that there are those that don't have the time, energy, or
interest to find out what is going on in our world. I don't hold in against
them. We're all just trying to get through this life the best way we can.
I have found in these few month's that there are many who feel as I do. I
expect that this year and the next will be the most interesting of times.
There will be those that maintain their willfull ignorance or indifference,
but I expect it will be a smaller number than you expect.

I thank you for your efforts and hope that you get only positive
responses.

Sincerely,
