A letter to First Cat, too I'd write every judge on the Supreme Court, all members of Congress and the state Legislature. I'd write President Clinton and Hillary and Chelsea, and throw in a P.S. for that cat. I'd write to all the lawyers I ever met or heard about, including Percy Foreman just in case he'd been resurrected. I thought might have half a pound of influence. Because you can never tell what a letter will bring about.
Letters can change lives.
They can cause lives. I'm a living example. I never would have been born if my father hadn't written a letter to my mother, inviting her to go to that ice cream supper in 1909, before they were married. The best letter I ever got, in all my years in work like this, was from a guy in prison. It was pages and pages long, beautifully printed by hand, in precise and smooth prose.
