Dear Michael Moore
Dear Mr. Moore,
I’ve been tuning in again after my TV hiatus which began with Hurricane Katrina and my consequent isolatory depression. It’s no coincidence that I was able to ween off my anti-depression meds almost immediately after the election of Barack Obama.
I’m relieved to see you getting some air time with journalists who respect your patriotic civil service. I’ve always been such a fan of you and I just wanted to convey that to say "thank you" to you would be an understatement: thank you for not giving up. Seriously. You have guts like no one else out there, giving a voice to the proletariat. We’ve always needed your strength, even when some of us said we didn’t. I needed you to speak out when I, and millions like me, crippled by depression and medicated up to our eyeballs, could not.
Again, thank you, and I hope you are beginning to see your work paying off. I hope that you’ll never have to say "I told you so"; I hope some of your letters are letters of apology in calling you everything but the true American patriot that you are.
Much love,
Tracey Bushman
