Excellent letter, and she's only 11 years old, wow! I can see that this little gal, is already way smarter than the Smirking Chimp, our so called leader! This kind of content is exactly what americans need to be engaged in, to compel this irresponsible government, and big corportation bosses to stop the greed and power trip that has been their status quo operational plan, and do some real work for a change, passing, and implementing, the kind of revolutionary policies, that could give people some hope of stopping some of the worst of what is presently coming our way, if we continue on, business as usual. Unfortunately, what we seem to see on a regular basis, when people with visionary, insightful, and responsible ideas come along to try and make a change for the better, they usually get swallowed up by the beaurocratic greed machine that is our political system, or by the sharks running the big corporations, who pull the puppet strings of our elected officials. Paul Wellstone was such a man, inspiring in his energy, truthful in spirit, and willing to speak his mind, come what may, and then, he died suddely, along with his amazing wife, in an all to convenient plane crash, just weeks before a very important election. Many found his honesty a threat to thier selfish, immoral agenda's, and how " lucky " for them, that Mr Wellstone was suddenly out of the picture, and not a " problem " any more. Well, we can always hope, and try to help, in what way we can, any leaders that show by their actions, and their deeds, that they are guided by truth, honor, ethics, and morality, and that the american people, are who they work for, not the special interest, big oil, big money, etc. Great job on that letter by your daughter Paul :-)
