Quote:More on topic, if someone actually wants to do something about Troy Davis, check out amnesty internationalYup. Member since 1981, when I was a founding member of a peace through non-violence group on campus. It was in direct opposition to the semi-violent, annoying, confrontational protest movement that we started the group. Our approach was to engage in dialog with our elected officials, rather than spit on them or cover them with red paint. Of coarse, the progressive (protesting) student organization called the PSO was violently opposed to our non-violent approach so they spit on us, and covered us with red paint too. I was accused of being a CIA or FBI plant more times than I can count.

My issue with the form letter is that it usually gets immediately placed in the circular file by staffers, and if you are lucky you get a "me too" tally mark on a sheet of paper. If you want to write a letter, my advice is that you should take the time to write it in your own words and express your own heart felt opinions. Then, it still might end up in the circular file.
