(Another) Letter to the Editor
THE JOY OF PUBLICATION II I said it before; I'll say it again. There is something special about seeing one's letter in a paper. This one is in the April 21, 2010 The Independent one of our East Mountain weeklies. The publisher Wally Gordon interviewed three of the local "Tea Party" organizers after a small rally. He used "Passion" in his headline. It was a good piece, quite fair, and used many quotes from the three ladies. One of them, a Mrs. Cooper, said she "didn't believe in health insurance, didn't have it and wouldn't use it if she did." She also said "death panels" were in the health care reform law. I was moved to write a letter. (You probably have to click it to read it.) I even got a "fan" call from a guy happy to see another liberal in the East Mountains.
