I am following the Presidential campaign very closely. Not only am I interested in politics but I’m also a dedicated voter that likes to be well informed. An issue came up for which I did not want to trust the media to answer. So, for the first time I have written a letter to a candidate. My letter to General Wesley Clark is below. If I get a reply, I will include here as well.
Dear General Clark,
A few weeks ago Michael Moore wrote you a letter which you published on your website. It was a good idea for him to inform you on his thoughts and feelings. Recently, I read a few things about you that concerned me. Moore’s letter came to mind and it is in that spirit that I write to you now.
First, I’d like to say that your straightforward attitude is a breath of fresh air in the political environment where it seems the political talk answers questions without really answering them. It’s a shame because all I ask for is a leader that can take a stand and tell the truth, even if the truth is unpopular.
