From Clayton Cramer:
Dear Mr. Soros:
I hope that this resounding rebuke to your attempt to remove President Bush causes you to sit and contemplate why the American people ignored the news media and their clear preference for John Kerry. Don't you think that your comparison of George Bush to Hitler was way over the top? Especially since, until Hitler, Bush's mission in Iraq and Afghanistan has been to create democracy, not crush it?
I understand that you spent $18 million trying to defeat George Bush. I spent about $300 to counterbalance your efforts; of course, there were thousands of others like myself, people for whom $300 is a lot more money than $18 million is for you. I want you to think long and hard about finding more constructive uses of your $18 million, and the millions that us "little people" spent to neutralize your efforts.
How many students could have gone to college on that $18 million? I've spent about $7000 a year for tuition and living expenses for my daughter off at school. You could have sent 642 students through a four year degree with that money. You could have set up a scholarship endowment that would allow 45 students each year to get a college degree--forever.
Do you want to make the world a better place? Spending money on politics is about the least productive way to spend money. I would prefer not to have to do it. I would far rather give money to World Vision for its relief and development efforts in the Third World or to the Boise Rescue Mission, helping the down and out here.
Very Truly Yours,
Clayton E. Cramer
