[FRIAM] Open Letter

[Nick Thompson]

Dear local congregation, 

 

Is there a chance that any of you would like to join me in sending this
letter to the New Mexican, or some version of it? 

 

To the New Mexican

 

We are writing to urge all Santa Feans to be sure to vote this year,
particularly if you are a recent high-school graduate or are related to one.
Our higher-educational systems are under stress, and our elected officials
need to know you are paying attention. We are retired college professors and
industrial researchers, living in Santa Fe.  Every day, we talk to young
people as smart and as dedicated to learning as our best research students
in the 70's and 80's, yet are working as cashiers, ride hail drivers,
waiters and waitresses.  Under present conditions, these young folks cannot
afford to go to university and, without that training, will never take up
the leadership positions their talent deserves.   As more and more of my
generation retire from our institutes, government laboratories, colleges,
and universities, our nation will desperately need these talented young
people.  Please take time to vote and to let your representatives know that
you care about education at every level.  The future safety and prosperity
of our nation depends on it.    

 

Lemme know. 

 

Nick
