Open Letter #2: Senator Casey, Why Did You Vote Against Pennsylvania’s Infrastructure?
Senator Casey:
As I have discussed in previous emails and calls to your office, your decision to support the president’s extension of the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans was a bad idea. I did not know that it actually endangered Pennsylvania residents however: why did you, a senator whose state is plagued with crumbling [...]
Following Up with Senator Casey
Dear Ms. Newman and Ms. Schimer:
Yesterday I wrote to you about TSA’s abuse of American citizens and our children, and the disappointing response of the office, which made it sound as if Senator Casey is not concerned that the TSA is abusing its authority. I spoke again this morning with staff member Tayeesha, and she [...]
Dear Mach3: It’s Not Me, It’s You
Dear Trusty Gillette Mach3 Razor:
After eight lovely years together, we have come to a parting of the ways. Although I enjoyed your smooth triple blade shave, recent developments have forced me to reconsider our relationship and, sadly, I’ve decided I’m leaving you for a previous love. I know this might make it worse, [...]
Open Letter: Still MORE Unused Transit Funding for Philadelphia
Dear Secretary LaHood and Mayor Nutter:
It seems only this past week, I wrote you both about diverting the $400 million for rail investments for Ohio, recently rejected by Governor-elect John Kasich, to Philadelphia. And it only seems like two weeks ago, I wrote to you requesting $3.38 billion in transit funds rejected by Governor [...]

Open Letter to U.S. secretary of transportation Ray LaHood
Dear Secretary LaHood:
As a resident of Philadelphia, PA, a city affected with nearly 10% unemployment and decrepit transit infrastructure, I read your October 29th guest editorial in the New Jersey Star-Ledger with deep interest. I share your disappointment in Governor Christie’s decision to kill the ARC project: I believe the decision was foolish, driven [...]
Open Letter to Cowardly Tom Vilsack
Dear Secretary Vilsack:
It has come to my attention that you recently forced Shirley Sherrod, a USDA appointee, to resign over what appear to unfounded allegations of racism by noted conservative provocateur Andrew Breitbart. Unfortunately, by taking the word of this well-known con artist at face value, you have fired an innocent person. you need [...]
Open Letter to the Mann Music Center
The face of shame
Dear Mann Music Center President Catherine Cahill:
Congratulations on this year’s upcoming concert series! Like many Philadelphians, I relish the summer season, when my family and I can enjoy a few evenings of classical music under the stars at Fairmount Park. I’m especially looking forward to opening night, featuring Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 [...]
Open Letter to the PLCB
Dear Mr. Stapleton, Mr. goldsmith, and Mr. Marcus:
As a taxpaying citizen of Pennsylvania, I demand that you rein in the PLCB and stop the destructive and embarrassing raids you are conducting in Philadelphia. As has become clear, the beverages confiscated for not being properly registered actually ARE registered, but the PLCB recorded the names [...]
