Politics: Letters to All Editors

Reprinted here in its entirety, is a letter by the previously unknown (but now widely-hailed in Liquid List quarters) Holbrook Bradley, of San Diego, California, to the Editor of the New York Times:

Liberal Values

To the Editor:

Re "How the `Radicals' Can Save the Democrats," by Sam Tanenhaus (Op-Ed, Aug. 11):

I am a lifelong liberal Democrat who has been dismayed by the takeover of my party by "centrist" Democrats with their dire warning that those of us who still firmly believe in the party's liberal history of support for Social Security, Medicare, the environment and programs aiding the less fortunate are leading the party into the wilderness.

As a so-called radical, I will continue to fight for what I and millions of other Americans still believe in: a better world for all of us.

Amen, sir.
