Senator Barbara Boxer is another so called "maverick". She was the only senator to stand with The Congressional Black Caucus in questioning the integrity of the voting process in Ohio in 2004.

She has come out in no uncertain terms as opposing our actions in Iraq. At one point, web sites existed that supported the idea of her pursuing the presidency in 2008.

Yet, she made it clear that "playing politician" is more important than legislating honestly when she traveled to Connecticut to support pro war Democrat Joe Lieberman.

Consequently, Ms Ivins may be right in suggesting that you pursue the Democratic Party's nomination. What Ms Ivins doesn't suggest and what I do suggest is that, if you aren't nominated by the Democrats, you should run for the presidency as an independent.

If the Democrats don't nominate you, Mr. Moyers, it will probably be because you will have made it clear that you won't play the kind of games played by Kucinich or Boxer.

Mr. Moyers, you are absolutely resplendent when you speak to an issue and, considering the fact that most of the issues facing us today deal with life and death and even deal with the use of "the ultimate force", the American people need leadership that is strong yet extremely clear in what its plans are and why it believes that those actions are best for The United States. Our president needs to be honest with the American people.


The rest of the world needs to know that The United States of America is a rational nation that reacts rationally because its president is a rational human being.

Mr. Moyers, you are that human being.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Michael Bonanno

I would urge all of you to join me in boycotting the professional politicians, but I know that there are those of you who still believe the process that's presented to us.

If you're interested in writing to Mr. Moyers and you didn't happen to catch the Ivins article, the address she gives is P.O. Box 309, Bernardsville, NJ 07924.
