[FRIAM] Open Letter, draft #2

[Nick Thompson]

Hi, all, 

 

Here is a new draft of the open letter, pared down to meet the New Mexican's
requirements.  I have a few signatories, would love some more.  I will bring
the letter with me to our service on Friday.  Even if you don't plan to
sign, please feel free to point out typos and other infelicities.

To the New Mexican

We are industrial researchers and retired college professors, living in
Santa Fe.  We urge all Santa Feans to vote, but particularly young voters
and their parents.  Institutions of learning and their students are under
stress.    Every day, we meet young people 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
talented young people cannot afford to go to university and, without that
training, will never take up the leadership positions their talent should
make possible.  The nation will need these students as our generation
retires from institutes, government laboratories, colleges, and
universities.  Please take time to vote and to tell your representatives to
support education at every level.  The future safety and prosperity of our
nation depends on it.
