Listen, old people, if I can do it, you can do it! (My letter about Rove)

[MiniMandaRuth]

To whom it may concern,

Hello. I am an eighth grade student at Glacier Middle School, and actively involved in politics. I would like to say a few things about Mr. karl Rove, and have decided that your fine paper would be the best place to do it.

The White House and President Bush has sworn that his cabinet is trustworthy and has NEVER LIED. Never, once. He says that if he finds that someone has lied, that he will fire them.

Well, it seems that Bush is blind, because there are several liars right in front of them. I am only going to talk about one: Karl Rove.

Karl Rove, for those that don't know him, is the manager of the Bush/Cheney campaign and the Chief of Staff of the White House. He is also in the spotlight for the Valerie Plame affair. An affair, which could decrease America's safety. Nice one, Rove. Really A-class.

Karl Rove has only said that he had nothing to do with it. NOTHING. He has refused questions and investigations. You ask, what does he have to hide? What does he have to fear? If he is innocent, why not try to prove it? Why not try to help this woman, that has worked so hard for our country, and her husband?

George Bush says 'Don't trust what the media says' when the MEDIA is his BEST FRIEND. The MEDIA has helped fuel this war, this fake war that thousands of people have perished in. The media that Bush says 'Don't Trust' made a huge deal of the Clinton scandal. This media that Bush says 'Don't Trust' helped his campaign.

All I can say is that Bush better start realizing that what he says and does cannot be taken back. The same for Rove. Money can buy the media, money can buy some people over, but not the American people.

Rove is a major player in the Palme leak. He has commited treason. Treason. Treason, which is defined by the Oxford Dictionary and Thesaurus as 'Betraying ones country for personal gain'

Yep, that about says it. Rove is treasonous, he should be fired and prosecuted for his crime. If not for the Plame case, then for the other crimes that he has committed.

(I sent this to the Tacoma News Tribune, the Seattle PI, the Seattle Times, and the King County Journal)

1. OK MiniManda - good letter

I like the 'your fine paper' line. :rofl:

If you can, correct the spelling of 'Plame' and resend it. Or, the editor may fix it.

12. This letter is great! but it brought tears to my eyes thinking of what

evil this administration is bestowing upon this country and the world. Last night a photo was shown of the White House from the back view, and I remembered when I was about your age reading a National Geographic Issue looking at the same view, and I had such Noble Visions of the "Great Presidents" who had served their country with honor and the highest integrity and moral values, and the memory was such a stark contrast to what I feel now, that I almost wept. Now granted, I was probably much more naive than you seem to be, but the fact that you have to address this is so sad. Where did our innocent trust in government officials go? Why are the truly good men mis-labeled as 'evil' and the hypocrites with only short-term self interests, rewarded?

Keep up the good work. Your letter is truly inspiring, and I'll nominate it again. Please let us know if your letters are to be printed!

21. MiniMandaRuth, you are adorable. I would join again if I could

and I would dedicate it to you. :-D

[spacelady]

22. Thank you, you have a much greater understanding of what's going

on than I did at your age, plus you went and did something about it!
More power to you, and do take some time out for silly stuff-that's important too. But again, excellent & brave!

I am editing this because I was projecting about the silly stuff--I am getting so angry about everything these days that I can hardly function, so I need to step back and relax. So did not mean to be so patronizing, I am just a 43 year old poopyhead at this time.
