Also, if you see any typos please let me know. I've checked it, but I also know I have a propensity to screw up there/their/they're and your/you're...oh and it's/its. Damned contractions.

The addresses for Fox and khou (the station that did that heinous interview) are listed below.

Thank you

Oh, and please don't be put off by the 'what may seem over-dramatization of disrespect to Texas'. We take Texas vurrry suriously here. Texans first, THEN Amuricans.



KRIV FOX 26
P.O. Box 22810
Houston, TX 77227

KHOU-TV Channel 11
1945 Allen Parkway
Houston, TX 77019
(713) 526-1111


Please feel free to pass this around to anyone you think would be willing to send a letter. Emails don't do diddly. Another route is to sign up to be able to comment on their stories on their websites...altho, I haven't been able to figure out how to do this yet.

Dylan,

Just curious. Why do you say that emails are essentially worthless? I may have to rethink the way I do things, if you know this to be true. GREAT letter, by the way.

Emails can be (and are usually) ignored.

I mean, emails work for getting your message to people, but they have proven not so effective in changing people's minds/activism. Basically, they're a 'lazy' tool for people.

I think there was something written about the psychology and effectiveness and how people respond to getting a critical email vs getting a critical letter...like they took the letter more seriously than the email, because of the fact that someone actually took the time to write a letter. I'm not making much sense.

Firie has way more info on this than I do...maybe she can explain it better (hopefully). I think she actually has stats or something.


Dylan

P.S. Thank you for the feedback on my letter. Please send a letter if you can.

P.P.S. I'm only posting my letter in case folks don't have time to write one of their own. There's been many times I said I was going to write a letter, but ran out of hours in the day. I would have been more likely to actually send one if there was one already written up.
