Hello,I know that the Thomas J. Stokes letter was a piece of GOP Team Leader "astroturf". You know that the Thomas J. Stokes letter was a piece of GOP Team Leader "astroturf". I know that you know and you know that I know, and we both know that we know we know... (I also know that I am starting to sound like a sitcom , here.)
My question to you is this: will you be addressing the truth about the letter and/or the "astroturf" phenomenon in the pages of your magazine? It is all well and good to acknowledge the issue to those readers who spot the GOP TL chicanery and write in about it, but it is even better to let all readers in on the revelation. The wool has been pulled over their eyes by those who would pass off party propaganda as the original writing of an average citizen. It is your duty as a journalistic periodical to present the facts of the case.
Thank you.

By the by, I love the word "chicanery" and don't think it gets used nearly enough. I wonder how long it will go the way of "niggardly"?
