This has nothing to do with your columns. I love you columns. Really. And I’m not just saying that because I want something.

I want something.

I don’t usually ask for attention. I mean, I’ve never asked you for attention before, have I? Sure, you wouldn’t remember (probably you wouldn’t remember. I’m not trying to say anything about your memory. I just figure, you’ve got a lot going on).

Anyway.

I thought you might be interested in a little project I’ve started. I’m writing a letter a day to Senator Boxer and I’m posting these to my website at http://www.crankreport.org/blog.html.

Now normally, I don’t care much about traffic. I mean, look at the typical content. It’s pretty obvious I don’t care about traffic, right?

But in this case. Well, in this case I want people to join this campaign. I want them to ask Barbara Boxer to stop the workings of the Senate — I’m sure she can throw a big ole ruckus if she really wants to — and demand accountability from the President for his actions and statements leading up to war in Iraq.

So I’m saying a letter a day and so far I only have one. It uses the word “fuck.” A lot. I figure it won’t offend you.

But one letter with the liberal use of the word “fuck” probably won’t convince you of the seriousness of my campaign. And I’m one person. With no money. I’m one person with no money and a website that only gets like 150 hits a day. If I just read the stats right. I said I’m not in it for the hits It’s possible I didn’t get that whole hit thing right. Or that I don’t understand it. Either one of those is possible.

I’m getting off track. Here’s a link to the first letter:

So this is a heads up. I’ll follow up later with more letters. To you, I mean. Reminding you of my little Barbara Boxer campaign. And letting you know the progress. I’m thinking it could be interesting to you. Maybe you could even participate. You know, in some way. I’m not suggesting your column but let’s face it. You do have a forum.

I wasn’t just saying it in the beginning. The whole I like your column. The cats I could skip. I miss the warnings. But I loved the cross-country bits (1, 2, 3).

Please count me as your fan,
Marnie Webb
