[FRIAM] Open Letter, draft #2

[Nick Thompson]

Thanks, Tom, 

 

Still trying to figure out logistics.  I have written the NM-ican to find out how to submit a letter from many signers, but got no response.  Do you have any experience with this?

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.
