My Letters-to-the-Editor That Never Got Published

About the Book

This book is a compilation of letters-to-the-editor written during President Bush's despicable 2004 re-election campaign of smear and fear. Exposed is how George W. Bush, America's greatest confidence man, his advisors and his propaganda machine, blatantly misled Congress and the public by their deceptions, half-truths and outright lies. Our self-designated "war president" lived up to his nefarious style by conning us into his unnecessary war of choice in Iraq; by his shameful economic war against the middle class; by his secret, unconscionable war against the environment; by his misguided war against our constitutional right of privacy; and by his self-ordained war to blur the separation of church and state.

Because most of the mainstream media either served as mouthpieces for the Bush administration, or were spinelessly intimidated by them, much of the subject matter in this book was never widely disseminated. These letters draw heavily on the many - mostly unread - books and periodicals available wherein truth resided.

Because of their frequency and length, it was never anticipated that but a few of the letters-to-the-editor would be published (two of the short letters actually were). Aside from the therapeutic value I found in writing, my purpose in having sent copies to like-minded friends and relatives scattered around the country and abroad was to encourage them to become letter writing junkies like me. The mighty pen can and will - hopefully sooner than later - restore honesty in government, bridge the widening gap between the have-mores and the have-nots, and avert more damage being so arrogantly done to our democratic institutions.

About the Author

The author is an 86-year-old World War II veteran and a life-long Democrat, who never before was active in politics beyond the voting booth, and who never before wrote anything other than occasional business letters. His visceral dislike of George W. Bush stems not from political and philosophical differences, although they exist, it comes from Bush's frightening mix of incompetence, dishonesty and uncompromising righteousness. Read this book and you'll find 65 reasons why the author believes George W. Bush to be the greatest confidence man America has ever known. Who else has fraudulently convinced so many millions of otherwise intelligent people to vote against their own self interest and well being?
