Dear Editors, Press regulation authorities, Home Office, Safeguarding Boards and other recipients,
The Archbishop of Canterbury's corporation, the Church of England, is under investigation for systemic crimes against Children.
Some of those children died as children as a result or committed suicide as adults as a result of their abuse. All survivors are affected for life by what they endured.
I am a vulnerable adult Church abuse survivor who the Archbishop has publicly destroyed and discredited while falsely claiming, with the help of the press and media, that that the Church of England are very hot on safeguarding. The press and media buy this without question and broadcast it and mislead the general public, anguishing the voiceless survivors who know that the truth is very...

Terri – Do you really believe this, or is this just campaign rhetoric? Is there really wage discrimination or do many women choose to make their young families a priority over their careers for a period of time? I think you know the truth yet ignore it for the opportunity to tug at the heart strings of voters to serve your own political expediency. Shameful.
Shouldn’t every employee be paid what they are worth? If you have skills that are in demand shouldn’t they be compensated accordingly regardless of gender? If I’m an employer, I want the best talent I can afford and will pay what I can for it, regardless of gender and I shouldn’t need a law to tell me so, especially a redundant one. I would have to believe that the many working women out there who have the highly demanded...

Dear Miss Rasmussen,
I have had the rather dubious privilege of reading both your character statement about Brock Turner and your rebuttal to the public backlash to said statement. I'd like to take a moment to address the things within your letter to the judge and your defense of yourself that contradict each other as well as provide my thoughts on both of your statements.
1. I do not fault you for you writing a letter on his behalf as someone who knew him for so long. What I do fault you for is this statement, “I don't think it's fair to base the fate of the next ten + years of his life on the decision of a girl who doesn't remember anything but the amount she drank to press charges against him. I'm not blaming her directly for this because this because that just isn't right."...

I'm writing to ask a question No one has answered. I've asked everyone repeatedly including every democrat congress rep every senator from California and many republican congress rep and senator several governors country wide. And no it's not about how the VA hurts veterans (been doing that for 13 years with no answer) Do you really believe that every current and past military member or dependent that was foreign born are insignificant? is my ex-wife or her relatives insignicant? is my stepson, my great grandfather too? You see they all came to the U.S. legally My Ex-wife went through the whole immigrant process AND more she had to go to "bride" classes (military recquirements are tough) My stepson who was 10 when he was finally allowed to come here 6 years after starting the process....

Dear Democratic Superdelegates,
I am a registered democrat, and I wanted to take this moment to explain why I will be choosing Donald Trump over Hilary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election. And before you write me off as being bitter, or misinformed, let me say this: I know that Trump will destroy this home we've built together. I want you to understand why, for millions of disenfranchised voters like me, that very destruction is the best hope we have.
A little background: after four years at the university where I earned my bachelors degree, created and served as the president of two clubs, and became heavily involved in negotiating with administrators and contractors on behalf of the student body; after all of that, I got a contract with one of the largest tech giants in our...

I have a few questions for everyone out there posting all of these hate memes about president Obama visiting Japan over the holiday. I saw one earlier that was straight up calling the President a "douchebag" for placing a mourning wreath on a monument in Japan. My first question is, do you actually know anything about the holiday you are so loudly and rudely trying to be jaded and indignant over? I get that Memorial Day is an American holiday. That basically means America came up with it. I get it. Thank you Wikipedia. But do you get the significance of a holiday created to mourn our most nobel fallen? Part of it is to mourn the men and woman that died protecting their country, but another part of it is to reflect on the price of their death. Firstly, it wasn't just Japanese people who...

Dear Mr. President,
I recently watched a YouTube video of your final Correspondents' Dinner speech and, I must say, I found it to be the most literally awesome thing I have heard in quite some time.
I have little shame in admitting that many of the impeccably delivered 'zingers' went over my head, and it was only from context (and the “I just got Jack Nicholson-ed” expression shadowing the faces of certain attendees featured in the cut-shots) that I was able to glean the intent and poignancy of your most excellent soliloquy.
I generally avoid, at all costs, availing myself of the finer details regarding the deplorable situation in which the human race has entrenched itself. Life is hard enough without a comprehensive knowledge of the atrocities permeating every nook and cranny of...

*After writing an email to MP Peter Dutton that went unanswered*
Dear Mr Dutton,
Where is your humanity? Where is your heart? Where is your sense of decency?
How can you stand in front of our Nation and say the things you say, and enforce what you enforce? It is not up to you to play God, and that's exactly what you're doing. You say who dies and you say who lives. People who seek refuge in Australia do so because they are allowed to. They are not "illegals" and they do not take on the title of being a Refugee in a manner which is illegal. I'm sure you don't need a lecture about Australia's commitment to the Convention and Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees, the International Convent on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), the Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel,...

Hi Ravish,
I am writing this open letter to you in context of your reporting done on 6th October 2015 before Bihar elections. (http://goo.gl/fF7VJg)
You had described beautifully when light came for the first time in Vaishali, Bihar and its impact on people. They previously used battery charged lights and fans for their home, now they are using new electrical instruments.
In the video you mention that it would have been great if the reporters could have captured the moments when the electricity came for the first time and my concern as a citizen is related to that.
As I can see Government of India has put details of status of electrification in India by state in its website http://garv.gov.in/dashboard , now my concern is WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU ALL NOW(all reporters)? , there...

Dear Mr. Fadnavis,
It has been a great achievement for Maharashtra to have a young individual like you to head the state. I am a citizen from the city of Mumbai and I look up to you with pride. I know you are a man who is progressive and so I write to you to bring to light the desolate weakness of my city- child labor. My letter to you is to get the Maharashtra government to make all efforts possible to eradicate child labor.
Our city is springing ahead with achievement, like the financial sector, entrepreneurial as well as education sectors. However, we have turned a blind eye to the challenge of completely eradicating child labor. I have researched that 92 FIR’s have been filed and over a 100 arrests have been made in the past five years in my city. Yet, children are trafficked...
