Here I'm in a photo taken by Katie Duenwald (Senator Duenwald's daughter), as I sit with Scott Olson of the Hughes Co. GOP. waiting for things to begin tonight.

you have to admit...there is a vein of humor that runs throughout not only pat powers' postings...but that same humor runs in the postings of his detractors and commentators as well. Pat takes a return of serve pretty well. (no, this is not pat posting on himself.)

at first i didnt like anonymous postings. but maybe it gives me a way to talk to my fellow repubs without the clutter of names. and this blog gives me a peek at what the other side is thinking. that aint a bad thing...sometimes they are right...sometimes they have ideas too.

If you spend a little time formulating your thoughts and pay attention to details, there's no reason you can't write an effective letter. For these purposes, I am going to assume you want to influence policy of some sort.

If you're just writing to complain or praise, simply write as you would to a friend and fire it off. I say "as you would to a friend" because those words taste better when you have to eat them later.

Two: Identify the problem for the reader in clear, simple terms. If you can document instances of the problem do so and state your sources. In the September 19th issue of the Frankfurt Times, article such and su…
