Dear cbayer:

I'm a friend of the late Jeff Matson who was very active with the Democratic Underground for many years, and who frequently urged me to get involved with your excellent site.

Recently, I started a Political Blog of my own, which I call "Conservatives Are America's Real Terrorists." Naturally, I would like your participants to become aware of my site. I've made many postings on my Blog over the past few months, some of which your readers may find helpful in responding to Right-Wing media propaganda and misinformation. I couldn't possibly post all of these comments on your site.

But is there a problem in my trying to let your readers know about my site and inviting them to see if some of the comments on my site might be helpful to them in reinforcing their own political ideas? After all, we are in basic agreement on just about everything. Hopefully, I've said a few things on my site which may help your readers argue more effectively in support of a liberal, progressive agenda and counter-act the incessant misstatements of the Far Right.

Respectfully,

Chuck Prentiss
