Think Free! Live Free! Vote Kinky?

RECEIVED Mon., April 3, 2006

Dear Editor,
    The conservative regime has so far managed to lie, torture, steal, and begin a regional conflict that will last generations without so much as a heated debate from anyone on or off Capitol Hill. The few voices raised have been silenced with coercion and blackmail; the people of this country have been left on their own.
    Both parties have been bought and delivered to the corporate interests; to the gods of greed and self interest. We are wage slaves given the illusion of freedom by voting for the same treatment under different names.
    Independent candidates are the only hope for this country, those who are not afraid to speak their minds and stand for what is right for human beings.
    Kinky Friedman may not be the prettiest (although he might argue that point), but at least he is willing to cut through the garbage and speak his mind.
    A little revolution is good for the soul, and short of the unthinkable, this may be as close as we can get. Vote third parties, independent, even the lunatic fringe if you are of a mind. It is not a wasted vote. It is a vote against the fall of people and the rise of corporate feudalism.
    I love this country and have seen too many changes for the worse. The fate of the world is in the hands of people like you and me to save our environment, our country, our freedoms, perhaps our humanity.
    Think free, live free.
