Yesterday I posted a link to this story. It's wonderful, and the first one I've seen in the mainstream press that didn't mock the Dems. who objected to the Ohio electors:

Please read this and then write to her so she knows there are people out there who appreciate it.

This is her email to me.

Ms. XXXXXXXXX,
Thank you for your kind and thoughtful response to my story this weekend. I assure you that in the midst of many, many, many rude and angry emails I received, your message was a breath of fresh air.

Best,
Leila Atassi

5. My computer has a thing with commondreams.org

It refuses to connect with the webpage for some reason. Is there a way you could give me clips of the article, and the authors e-mail?

9. Yes, please write! She is getting a lot of flack right now

12. I will do my best--I'm planning a link

with an editorial at my website, critiquing local media coverage of Ohio irregularities, focussing mostly on the Warren County lockdown. I mention the Plain Dealer in my link intro at this point.
I hope this might help support her efforts at journalist independence.
Please note that this is not a matter of partisanship.
This is a matter of trying to ensure election irregularities are adequately reported in the news media.
My website has material about individuals of both parties.

17. I wrote Ms. Atassi and thanked her.

In my message I included the sentence, "Tell your editor that even though we are keeping our heads low, there are millions of us who are still watching Ohio and digging deeper."

Thanks for reminding me to write her for an excellent article. :thumbsup:

(what I wrote):

What a WONDERFUL article you wrote regarding the problems with the election! It is so refreshing to see thorough journalism. The lack of coverage and the coverage with a dismissive tone has become the norm in regards to these problems and you are greatly appreciated!

Sincerely,

[EFerrari]

21. What, my letter was chopped liver? lol. Glad she's getting some backup

[helderheid]
