Dear Nancy,
I am appalled at the way you were treated by testosterated government employees
at the airport -- yet another sign of the burgeoning police state in which people
only want the government to own guns and hold power.
You said you are looking for leaders in the civil rights movement for the formation
of a new coalition. I fit that description. First, I want you to know that I
AGREE WITH YOU ON THE ORGANIC FOODS ISSUES:
I spent part of my life selling and promoting organically grown foods, as you
now do. I worked on the wholesale and retail end and then consulted retailers
on marketing and product longevity strategies. But my passion was always the
product and the love, truth, and good energy behind it. I was disgusted by the
"report" that lied repeatedly about the organic foods industry (John
Stossel, who usually does The People right), and even as I am working on other
issues these days, my best friend and roommate manages an organic produce department
here in Flagstaff, Arizona.
MY CIVIL RIGHTS FIGHT
It is with some hesitation that I tell you what front of the war being waged
against our rights has my attention, for too often I find that people who lean
Left now oppose this constitutional right. I stand for the right of the people
to keep and bear arms -- as intended by our nation's Founders. I will refrain
from spitting out a host of justifications, because the basic human right of
self-defense needs no justification, and you didn't ask.
Just know that as a Right-leaning non-Republican, you have support here if you
care to call upon it in building a new, if perhaps motley crew of civil rights
activists. It's probably a good idea for people all all political backgrounds
to come together in defense of the Whole Bill of Rights, lest we lose this country
right before our very eyes.
Respectfully,
Angel Shamaya

Angel - Thank you so much for your response. It happens I'm a firm supporter
of the Second Amendment, even if some of my fellow greens are not. I'm a farmer
and any rural person, especially a woman, needs a gun as a tool - there are
coyotes who are too interested in the sheep and ducks and geese, etc., and then
sometimes bad birthings mean one has to kill a critter - and I've had two-legged
marauders appear at the door insisting they wanted to "visit," and so
on. Yes, it's just another tool - and also a leveler for a woman who lives
alone.
Thanks again, and I'm glad you're in.
