Dear Jim,
I was incensed that one of my state’s US Senators (Kay Hagan of North Carolina) voted for the so-called “Stimulus Bill”. I searched for ways to register my protest in such a way that it would get her attention. Thanks to you and your novel “Patriots”, I have a way. I just sent her a copy with a gift card from Amazon.com. The gift card reads: “This is to thank you for voting for the stimulus bill and making the resulting economic collapse and hyperinflation profiled in this work of fiction a reality.” I just hope she gets the message, since it is a bit subtle especially for a politician.
I really like your book and am re-reading it. I hope you understand that I mean no disrespect to you in my means of protesting Hagan’s vote on the Stimulus Bill.
All the best, – John R., Waynesville, North Carolina
