legislation has resulted in the tossing of our Nation’s people into moral and mental turmoil. In general, people seem to be no longer as caring, loving, and concerned about others as they were in the past. The approval of Roe vs. Wade has caused a loss to our own humanity.
Enclosed is a letter mailed to more than 500 Senators, Representatives, the Vice-President and President. The last of several groups of letters were mailed on September 9, 2001. Eerily, 2 days later, the passenger jets hit the World Trade Center, Pentagon, and one destined to hit the White House, crashed in Pennsylvania.
Over the past several years, I have become increasingly concerned about the state of our Nation. Media seemed out of control with blatant indiscretion in reporting and programming, internet arrived totally unregulated, guns and other weapons were being sold indiscriminately (and all these horrors still exist). The final straw, to me personally was and is the human cloning issue and genetic manipulation, coupled with the use of aborted fetus stem cells to insert into others.
I was unusually motivated and compelled to write and send the enclosed letter (dated 9-7-2001), out by the date it was sent. (*A representative from)Vice-President Cheney’s office phoned me shortly after the anthrax incidences and advised me that while every Senator received the enclosed letter, members of Congress (Representatives) did not. I was asked by his office (*representative) if “I knew how Washington worked?” I said no. If I send a letter to a person with the correct address, I expect them to receive it. I told (*the representative of) Vice President Cheney’s office that I verified the addresses before sending the letters, with Representative Benjamin Gilman’s secretary, as she informed me where to find the addresses on the internet. Vice-President Cheney’s office told me that most of the letters sent to the U.S. House of Representatives were being forwarded back to N.Y. Representative Benjamin A. Gilman. Mr. Gilman received about 250 (*authors note: corrected to 434) letters destined for and addressed to members of the House of Representatives.
I am asking for any assistance that you can provide to rescind Government sanctioned abortion in the United States. Americans are upset by this abortion “right” and would rather not know the details and horror of abortion. The rescission of abortion is a major necessity to help America achieve the morality and conscience we once had as a Nation. “As we continue to kill our own, our own in turn will be killed” not necessarily physically but perhaps mentally.
Please deliver this message, as the well being and continuance of the Nation and World depends on Government sanctioned abortion being rescinded.
Yours truly,
Barbara Nikonoff
During this same month, I mailed all the letters to date to 191 Ambassadors of the United Nations. On my way to the post office to mail a batch of some of these letters to the United Nations and sensing a stressful urgency, I was pulled over by a police officer (which I regarded as a nuisance that
