A Retired Nebraska Teacher Speaks to Power
Lest we blue-state liberals--who live in cities like "The People's Republic of Eugene"--think that the so-called Heartland is uniform in its support of the Bush regime, here's proof that they're not.
Helen Nichols, a retired Nebraska Teacher has written a book, An Open Letter to George W. Bush: Including a Great Number of Select Quotations, as a way of resisting complicity and docility when faced with the overwhelming and disturbing change that she saw in her country. She remarks that she wanted to be able to tell her grandchildren that she'd done something to resist torture, the loss of civil rights, and murder that have tainted this nation during Bush's tenure in the Oval Office.

This book looks like one to buy.
