Open letter to the government of the U.S.A.

Dear [fill in the blank],

I regard behavior in the financial sector leading up to this crisis as not only treasonous - in the effect it has had on the U.S.A. - but downright evil in light of its effects abroad, in both cases often on those least able to bear additional hardship.

Furthermore, the callous disregard by some in whom we have placed our trust for the health of the populace at large and so the nation as a whole - and by this I am referring equally to the sometimes feeble support as well as outright opposition to the crucial Public Option - as utterly criminal, condemning as it does probably hundreds of persons to disease or death each and every day.

In these matters I cannot urge you strongly enough to lead and enact a tidal shift in the priorities and values expressed by the governance of this country, the stewardship of its resources and its standing in the wider world, now and for the future.

Yours most sincerely,

etcetera
