Sadly, the letter to the editor I submitted to the New York Times last week was not published. I figured I would at least post it here to make myself feel better:
Re: Maine Senators Break With Republican Party on Stimulus
Feb. 11, 2009
To the Editor:
I hope John McCain and the other members of the GOP don’t honestly expect us to believe they suddenly care about “generational theft” after nearly a decade of denying the existence of global warming. Where was this concern when the Bush Administration refused to take action to protect our ecosystems, or when it implemented numerous policies that preferred corporations to the environment?
I would like to keep our natural resources, thanks. You can have some of my future tax dollars — let’s get those green collar jobs rolling.
Sincerely,
Janna Brancolini
