RE: Free Matt Hale

Dear White Folk,

Let’s have some fun!  Why don’t we practice writing some short letters, influence the people that have the power to free Matt, and practice saying the things that we want and need to say to other supporters that don’t know they are supporters yet? I feel strongly that not only is this the right thing to do, but it is way past the time to do it.

I respectfully ask you for action

John R. Crookston

FREE REVEREND MATT HALE!

Several of you in replying to my first letters have emailed back and talked about writing letters. To whom should we write?  What should we write?  I am not very good at that you may say.  God, that sounds like school! Boy, if that is what we need to do to get Matt out, He is in trouble you might think. FUN??

Relax, First of all, Matt, (REVEREND HALE) is already in trouble, and the only thing we can do is make it better.  Second, I know that we all want to do something, and anything starts with something.  A letter is easy to write and it doesn’t have to be long.  In fact, no matter how much information you put into one, most people only have a little bit of time and they don’t really care.  The short 3 sentence letter above is a good sample to follow, as it does everything a letter needs to do.

You have the date at the top, followed by your name and address.  That way they can write back without looking at the envelope (they threw that away already), and anonymous letters have no real meaning to anyone.  You then have the name and address of the person or organization you are writing to. When you are addressing the envelope, this can be handy, because you know the address and most importantly who you are sending it to. The following are the people we want to get in touch with:

Jeff Sessions, Attorney General
U.S. Department of Justice
950 Pennsylvania Ave. N W
Washington, DC 20530-0001

Steve Bannon, Chief Strategist
National Security Council, Principals Committee
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Ave N W
Washington, DC 20500

President Donald J. Trump
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Ave N W
Washington, DC 20500

FYI, you would address them as Mr. Sessions, Mr. Bannon, and the Honorable President Donald Trump. Next, we tell them what it is about:  RE: Reverend Matt Hale.  I think that it is important that we refer to Matt as the Reverend Matt Hale to take advantage of the respect that is granted to the term.  He is one in fact! 

The body of the letter wants to be short.  The 3 sentences are plenty to get our point across.  The first should say something similar to: “Reverend Hale has been unjustly imprisoned for too long.” Or “Can you please look into the conditions behind the imprisonment of Reverend Matt Hale?”   The second sentence would be the reason behind the first sentence.  “ He was imprisoned because of his belief system which runs contrary to most that is currently practiced; but this is not a crime” or “This is clearly a case of “political correctness” gone criminal on the part of the Justice system”  The third sentence should be your call to action.  “Please let me know that you understand the importance of this issue for all of us” or “I was watching your confirmation hearings on TV and I know that you have had recent experience with being unjustly labeled and demonized by those in control” to finally perhaps to Donald, “Please let me know that you pay strict attention to the BOP part of the swamp as you are draining it.”

The important thing is to have FUN with writing the letter(s).  It is serious, but believe me, we all need to enjoy every day and every minute.  Time is all that we have.  No matter what happens, Attitude is an attitude and I choose to have fun! We all should.

The next line can be “Sincerely” or “With all due respect”, “Yours Truly” “Looking forward to your reply” Again, have fun and make sure you are not threatening or demanding.  Be positive!

Print your name and SIGN IT!

Free Reverend Matt Hale!  We should have this on EVERY piece we send out.  Millions and Millions of them! 

Remember what I said in the letter about getting what you want.  You have to ASK.  You have to ASK UNTIL YOU GET WHAT YOU WANT.  This is kind of like asking for a date.  If you quit the first time you were rejected, you would never have succeeded.  

Save the White race and Free Matt Hale, John R. Crookston
