Sending e-mail to the White House is fun!
Sent the following e-mail to President Bush this afternoon:

Dear President Bush,

I am surprised and saddened by your choice to defund the UNFPA. I know that you
are concerned about coerced abortions and sterilization in China, but surely you
believe your own State Department's team of investigators. They went to China
in 2002 and determined that the UNFPA was definitely not a part of any negative
reproductive health practices, and in fact, was a force of good within China.
Your own investigative team recommended that the United States fund the UNFPA.
And yet you declined. Surely you did not know that without our contribution it
is estimated that there will be 2 million more unwanted pregnancies, 800,000
more abortions, 4,700 more dead mothers, and 77,000 more deaths among children
under five. I am sure that as a compassionate conservative these are not the
sort of results you had in mind. Until you correct this mistake, I will be
making donations to the 34 million friends of the UNFPA in your name, because I
am confident that you do in fact want to help poor mothers and children in third
world countries.

Sincerely,
Megan Price


I know he'll never see it, but some poor intern will have to read it, and that's enough to make me feel the tiniest bit better.
