[KFCF Friends] Amy's Op-Ed

[KFCF Subscribers & Friends list]

This is a great idea, but during Peace Fresno's campaign to get Amy Goodman's syndicated 
articles written in 
the Bee, Jim asked me if I was writing as a part of a campaign because he got a bunch of 
letters all at once.  I 
said that I was and he seemed to discount such a campaign as manufactured rather than a 
genuine outpouring 
of concerned people.

So may I suggest that you put a day in the next couple of weeks on your calendar when you 
write so that the 
paper sees there is a need.
