>>******** LETTER ********
>>
>>
>>Dear _________:
>>
>>Like so many other right-thinking people from around the globe, I am
>>shocked and disgusted by the murder of the three innocent Quinn boys by
>>Loyalists early this morning. In one fell swoop these thugs have snuffed
>>out the lives of a family, for no other reason than their religion.
>>
>>This must stop!
>>
>>The murders are, in my opinion, a direct result of the intransigence of the
>>Orange Order, and the hate that they are promoting through their siege of
>>the Garvaghy Road. When will the sectarian hatred stop? When will you do
>>something to put an end to this vile byproduct of society? When will they
>>value the lives of their Catholic neighbors more than marching through
>>their neighborhoods?
>>
>>I demand immediate action to end the illegal and dangerous siege in
>>Portadown, and arrest the leaders of the Orange Order for staging the
>>illegal and dangerous mob scene at Drumcree that has led to widespread
>>destruction and injury in the north. The onus is on you to stop the
>>rioting and hate attacks before any more innocent children are killed.
>>This has gone far enough.
>>
>>Stop the siege of the Garvaghy Road.
>>
>>Sincerely,
>>
>>(your name/location)
>>
