My Response to Doug Moffatt
January 1st, 2006
I have responded to Mr. Moffatt's e-mail, in hopes that he will adress my issues. Here it is, word for word:
Mr. Moffatt:
Thank you for taking the time to address my concerns, and perhaps you have taken out of context my questions and concerns. I was in no way shape or form attacking, or doubting your credentials as a respectable member of this community. I was, however, hoping to hear your opinion on the scandals within the Liberal party, and how your party, if again elected hopes to repair the damage that was done. If, in any way, you took my comments as a personal attack on your character, than I apologize, and these were not intentional.
My view is that, as a young person, it is difficult to place trust in a government in which all the news regarding them has been about scandals and corruption. I feel that more needs to be done to ensure accountability on the part of ANY governing party, at any time.
Once again, I appreciate you taking the time to speak with me regarding these issues; it speaks quite a bit to any candidates character that is willing to listen to the concerns of those who are not even of voting age. Once again, I look forward to hearing from you on these matters.

That is a good letter and I hope Mr. Moffatt responds in kind and addresses your issues. I want to say that in my previous posts, I was not lecturing you, simply pointing out that the letter-writing process maybe could have gone better BOTH ways in order to achieve the desired result. Mr. Moffatt should have addressed the issues, but obviously people put up a wall when they feel(key word, feel) they are being attacked. Perhaps he thought you weren't going to change your mind regardless of what he said, so there was no point in pointing out the good things the government had done for people and how he hopes to serve his region and the country if he's elected. Afterall, you specifically said you don't want the typical "Liberal record" etc. The point is, it was a bad experience and it's over. I hope you get the response you're looking for this time, because the tone was much more inviting and Mr. Moffatt will likely feel like you actually do want to debate. Sheesh! Communication is like a frickin' art!
