Dear Congressman,
As a former executive secretary to two companies, and a person who has been doing office/secretarial/reference/computer work for more than 20 years, I got pretty mad when I heard McCain, McClellan, Rice, Straw, and others refer to the Downing Street Minutes as a memo, a matter of opinion. Minutes are facts, not opinion. Secretaries know what minutes are.
So today, I started contacting a few office workers, people who do paper work, people who have been well trained in how to take minutes, deal with paper work, detail oriented people who know the importance of record keeping altogether. I started to contact them, to bring the issue to their attention and ask them to sign your letter
Here are the people, as in “We The People” that I have been contacting. I can’t tell you the actual numbers, you would know better than I. But my estimate is that this list covers about 5-10 million Americans. No office would run without secretaries. No prescription would get written without attention to detail. No house would get built without plans. No plane would land without attention to charts. I’m really mad. So I thought I’d contact a few people who also take pride in their work.
