You Kossacks (means I’m a fellow Kossack too?) are invited to read another private e-mail to my friends in the snob media. I’m always hoping for an exception and for that special someone in a position of importance to respond back. Dateline Phoenix, Arizona.
Enjoyed your broadcast last night and Maria Hinojosa is a tiger. She reminds me of Mike Wallace. At the same time I find it hard to dislike Sheriff Joe Arpaio even if he sends out press releases before his stunts.
I ran for congress last year, www.steinforcongress.com., and not surprisingly I ran up against a wall. Just before election time I was www.theyokelnews.com because "yokel" sums up the elite establishments attitude to us small fry. I had two illegals living with us for 5 years and I’ve visited them several times in Mexico. I never would have ever thought of running for congress on such a fool’s errand if I had never met those guys first.
I’m a Republican and I’ve contributed quite a few diaries on the left wing political blog the Daily Kos about my Mexican connection and adventures (written a little unevenly they tell me).
I wish someone would go down there and interview in Mexico, my one friend and me. You could really learn a lot more about everything you already think you know about the typical long suffering Mexican citizens.
Believe me, even Maria, the Mexican born Mike Wallace could discover a thing or two and I’m sure there’s a journalism award to be won.
Would it hurt anyone to contact me? Or is the media's interest only in murder and mayhem at the border- and duly elected right wing sheriffs? I’ve been asking for a contact by anyone and everyone in your industry for quite a while. First time I ever watched your show NOW was last night so we're still friends.

P.S. Next month the one friend flies into a certain Canadian city and it’s not so that he can enjoy spring time in the northern hemisphere if you know what I mean.
