Dear fellow progressive!
In order to combat the problems we’re facing in these times, we need a grassroots movement, being spread partly from individual to individual, and more effectively through reader letters to newspaper comment sections.
With that in mind, I have published a book, “Dear Editor & Beyond”, now in a 2nd, updated addition, available from www.Amazon.com, both as inexpensive eBook and paperback. This is a collection of letters, comments and writings to newspapers and contributions to radio talk shows over the last 20 years, free to be copied, modified, changed, and embellished upon and re-published under the readers’ own names.
From the attached Table of Contents, you can see that substantial space has been devoted to our mutual interests and concerns, including equal rights, gun control, health care, socialism, capitalism and democratic voting, among numerous subjects under debate these days.
The book also contains a chapter with advice on writing LTEs (Letters to Editors).
The book raises the crucial question WWW: What-Went-Wrong? The main reason seems to be RRR: Racism-Religion-Republicanism, – all running rampant in the country, especially over the last couple of decades.
To support our mutual cause, I would appreciate if you would kindly distribute this memo to your friends, institutions, organizations and others on “our side”. A substantial part of any book proceeds will be donated to your organization and others that support worthy causes.
Progressively yours,
Jorg Aadahl
