this is a letter i sent to howard stern. he hasn't responded. maybe if we start a letter writing/call in campaign...you can write a letter to him yourself here --> http://www.howardstern.com/contact.hs
i really really really want him to come to our school and raise awareness about how TERRIBLE it is that powell is in charge of the future of our school. while stern might seem a little out there, he knows first hand how ruthless powell is in keeping to his conservative agenda. I also think more students should know that YES powell is the guy from the fcc that got into a beef with stern. we have such wonderful, open-minded and kind students at this school...this is the image we should be pushing, not one of conservatism or censorship.
here is the lettterrrr:
hey howard.
my name is annie brown. I'm a hot lady attending The College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, VA. As a hot lady, i have a favor to ask of you. Not only because you are a man who appreciates hot ladies, but also because i heard through the grapevine that you don't like Michael Powell very much. Neither do I.
Sadly, our wonderful school has been cursed by his existence. He is the Rector on our Board of Visitors. In other words, he runs our school. Last spring, he forced our beloved president Gene Nichol to resign because Nichol "upset conservative donors". Specifically, Nichol upset Powell and donors because he tried to remove a cross from a place of study and allow students to bring the popular Sex Worker's Art Show to campus. He was just being supportive of his students and promoting free speech, but he was asked to leave his position because of it.
Powell's evil shenanigans don't stop there. Today, Powell notified us that the students, faculty and staff of W&M will have NO SAY in the next president. Instead, Powell took the matter into his own hands and appointed the man that he wanted to be president when Nichol took the job.
So, Howard, PLEASE help me and my school. Powell can't get away with this shit anymore. He resigned from the FCC because he is a ignorant censorship tyrant, and now hes taking out all his power hunger, greed and self hate out on us. I stood up to him and asked him to resign when he came to visit, and his soullessness and disrespect towards me and my classmates brought me to tears. I can't stand this man. I know how much he disturbed your life, and now he has moved on to disturb the lives of others.
Please don't let him get away with this. Would you come speak at our school? Would you discuss this matter on your show? I know you care about free speech and what is right. Don't let him take those things away from a college campus where we should be free to be ourselves and be in control of a place we love.
Thanks for your time! You can contact me via e-mail. Also, if you want to know more about what went down, check out this blog: http://wrengateblog.com/
