“Letters To America” Now Available
January
1, 2008, Mountain View, CA…Writer and entrepreneur, Rosiland Bivings, took the pulse of a nation
without censor or media polls. The
results of her research can be found in the book, Letters To America 2004.
It is a compilation of letters submitted by ordinary Americans to a
question she posed on Internet discussion groups and to those on her mailing
lists.
The
question posted was “if you were
to write a letter to America about your life and feeling at this time, what
would it say? The letter could be no longer than 1,000 words. The responses
flooded in, and were not only letters but also poetry, prose and very heartfelt
words. They came from young and
old, from California to New Hampshire.
“The
Mainstream newspapers and media typically edit or omit most opinion letters sent
to them. This book contains
uncensored and emotional words that probably would never have made it to print.
I am very surprised and so pleased with the response”, says Bivings.
This
is a far cry from her regular everyday business--golf.
Bivings owns and operates a golf travel and event company call Fore Women
Golfers. However, politics is not
foreign to her. She has been a candidate for city council where she resides,
serves in the community on non-profit boards and is a champion for several
causes that benefit community residents.
Some
of the authors are very critical but most are very patriotic.
Others talk patriotically of frustrations they see in America.
Each letter takes the opportunity to exercise freedom of speech and
remind us of what America is all about.
Corporate
CEO, Iris Harrell of Mountain View, CA begins her letter with “I have
cherished the freedoms you have birthed and great struggles with no mentor to
model after.”
Paul
Buckner from Brooklyn, New York starts his submission with “A letter to be
slipped under America’s pillow or placed upon the kitchen table as one slips
out of the door.”
The authors were also offered the opportunity not to use
their own name. Bivings says,
“Each and every one of the authors used their name and were very proud to do
so.”
The
book is the first in a series Rosiland Bivings plans to publish. The second volume is scheduled for
sometime in 2008.
She hopes celebrities and politicians will read these letters and submit
letters themselves. She is
currently taking submission for the Letters To America by regular mail and on
the web site.
