Yeah! My friend Ellen wrote a letter to the editor and it was printed today. She wrote regarding the following comment by Senate Majority Leader Frist and his comments about the fact that he votes abysmally on civil rights issues for African Americans: Frist defended his civil rights record, which has been criticized by civil rights organizations. He said studies of his votes ignore actions such as "the fact I go to Africa once a year or twice a year to work with the African American community."

Here's here letter:
Editor -- I wonder why Sen. Bill Frist finds it necessary to go all the way to Africa to help the "African American community." It seems that there is more than enough work he could do for that community here in America.
