San Francisco Chronicle – Letters to the Editor – Tuesday, January 26, 2010

A call for public financing
If the “populist-progressive alliance” called for by E.J. Dionne Jr. (”A real wave of populism,” Jan. 25) wants to drive a stake into the heart of the Supreme Court-backed corporate takeover of our country, [...]

How to stop terrorism – SF Chronicle 12/30/09
The Chronicle misses the mark in its attempt “to speak the truth” about stopping terrorism (Editorial, Dec. 29).
If we wish to stop driving young men and women into giving their lives in acts of terrorism, we must stop killing innocent Muslims, stop expanding our occupation of Muslim lands, [...]

Time for Leadership
To the Editor:
Re “Senator Goes Face to Face With Dissent” (front page, Aug. 12):

During the Bush years, Miller & Ngo published a number of  “public interest” dealing with important issues, such as the need for public funding of elections.  With the election of Barack Obama, we no longer felt the urge – but his escalation of the war in Afghanistan does not bode well and we [...]

The poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere, Haiti is often ignored (unless its citizens land on U.S. shores) and depicted as a hopeless basket case, overlooking the vitality of its people who have had to endure the wrath of powerful nations for being the first slave colony to throw out its masters over [...]

When accomplished investigative reporter Gary Webb committed suicide, Miller & Ngo sponsored this satirical edition of the San Jose Mercury News, which was distributed in the newsroom of the paper that stabbed him in the back for his investigative series on the U.S. government’s participation in drug trading, and the resulting crack epidemic, [...]

Dear Editor:
Political reality (that is, our pay to play system) requires compromise, but where does the drug industry get off charging outrageously high non-competitive drug prices, undermining the social good of providing universal health care ["White House Affirms Deal on Drug Cost" 8/6]?   If socialized medicine is so terrible for the injured and sick, why [...]
