Shannon Fisk, a friend and fellow member of NDFA had a lettter to the editor published Saturday in the Chicago Tribune.
It was a great LTE, promoting a public option. It spoke from personal experience.
This is a fine example of what individuals can do to promote progressive causes.
Most LTEs sent to large-circulation papers are not published. When you send one, however, it makes it more likely that anotehr of a similar vein will be published. I see us as foot-soldiers of teh progressive cause; to say that you won't contribute a LTE unless it is going to be published is to insist on being a general.
