Dear David Cameron, Theresa May, Nigel Farage, the Daily Express, protesters in Germany, Katie Hopkins, Philip Hammond, anyone who has ever written a disparaging comment on a Mail Online article, police in Hungary, the governments of Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, the Netherlands, Poland and Slovakia, the people of Britain, Czech police, tourists in Kos, Tony Abbott, cartoonists, Ukip MEPs and people on Twitter.
Over the past few weeks and months you've been responsible for spreading anti-migrant and anti-refugee sentiment.
Some of you have used dehumanising language.
Some of you have reacted to this language by misunderstanding why people are trying to reach Europe.
Some of you have hauled refugees off trains and written numbers on their arms.
Some of you...

Mr Trump,
DO NOT TAKE THE PLEDGE!
The only way to keep the Republicans honest is to carry that dagger with you at ALL times. It might even be possible to win for the first time in a century as an independent. Look how Bernie Sanders is doing – he's not even a Democrat for Pete's sake.
If you ran as an independent with Sarah Palin as Veep you'd probably win without a runoff.
If you give up that leverage, they will screw you for sure. Think about it.

To Freedom Loving American and Canadian Citizens Hungry For The Truth...
I hope you all appreciate the truth. Because sharing this truth with you has caused me six years of separation from my wife and children, and years of death threats/terrorist acts on my wife's home in Canada (two shootings "investigated" by the Peel Police Department).
Out of all 15 of the government and corporate crimes I have reported since 1975 this one here has hurt more Canadians and Americans and overall, is linked to over $1 billion of illegal profits with overlapping links to Enron, Canada's largest smuggling ring, the real reason Noriega was kidnapped, and why Wall Street banksters will never be prosecuted nor jailed.
As of now, five people (witnesses) including two of my personal friends have been...

Dear Senator Sanders,
You've come a long way without my advice, but now that you are running for president, you may be interested in these suggestions:
1. You've taken progressive positions on "decent paying job programs," such as investing in repairing our country's public works, raising the minimum wage, strengthening labor laws, opposing the good-job-exporting, corporate-managed trade treaties such as NAFTA and WTO, and creating a Youth Job Corps. Now you need to make major addresses in greater detail on each topic before large audiences. The media coverage of these events will be very helpful during primary season.
2. You need to identify with local and regional issues as you travel around the country and appear with the citizen or labor groups championing these pathways to...

Dear Ms. Davis,
What is religious freedom, anyway? Should a Muslim be able to exercise their religion freely in the United States the same as a Roman Catholic? Or a Buddhist? Or a Sikh? Or even an Atheist?
Well, every precedent says yes, they all have the same right to freely practice their religion as one another, provided they're not causing anyone any physical harm or inciting violence through their practice of religion.
But how, exactly, does this work, anyway? If one only looks at their own personal freedoms, then it's clear: you get to grant or deny anyone anything you want, using your beliefs as a hammer to use on anyone you judge to not fit within that belief system.
But one's own personal freedoms aren't the only ones that matter. You're not the center of the universe...

Dear Mr. President,
As you know, on April 24, Armenians and their friends all over the world will be commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide organized and executed by Ottoman Turkey.
About 20 countries acknowledge this tragic chapter in history, yet the majority of countries turn a blind eye on facts and tiptoe around the topic of the genocide of Armenians, Assyrians and Greeks in order to not irritate the Turkish government.
What is particularly disappointing to me is that Israel (because of its history) and my two adopted home countries – the United States and Germany – are among those countries that choose perceived political convenience over standing for the truth and for justice.
Mr. President, as you know, about a week before Nazi Germany started...

Dear Gov. Mary Fallin,
I hope that this letter finds you well, and that your day is off to a great start. You may not remember me, so allow me to reintroduce myself to you. I'm Dillon Peña, a former friend and acquaintance of your daughter Christina. I've been to your house in northwest Oklahoma City. I've been to a festival at the Oklahoma River with you. I've broken bread and had dinner with you at Red Rock, and you have even been to church with me. Although I am currently a New York City resident, Oklahoma remains the home of my heart.
I am an Oklahoma fan through and through. I cheer for the Thunder as well as OU and OSU. You see, Governor, I would love to move back to Oklahoma someday. However, today, Governor, in the eyes of the great state of Oklahoma, my two brothers and I...

Dear Hillary Clinton,
So it’s official. You’re making a play for the second not-white-male US president in history.
But if you win, you’ll be the second consecutive half-white-male US president in history.
Don’t look so confused. Barack Obama is a man, and he’s half-white. You’re all white, and not technically a man, but by the time one gets to your level of international politics — and to your age — you’re pretty much a white man anyway.
We don’t mean to be insulting, Hills, don’t go all hyper-lefty trigger-warning on us. We’re just saying it doesn’t matter if it’s you, a black lady or a crippled Taiwanese dwarf with cerebral palsy: You don’t get to where you are by playing nice and being fair. Instead, you must embody the essential aggression, entitlement and selfishness that...

Dear Senator Rand Paul,
Congratulations on your ongoing effort to earn the GOP nomination for President.
I read with interest this week of your judgment that the Islamic State was at least partially the creation of the national security wing of our party. As an ardent Republican, I pay close attention to what you do and say, as there is no question that your candidacy is formidable. Your leadership on the subject of limited government, your championing of civil liberties, and your charismatic, youthful demeanor all add up to someone who could ably represent the GOP on the national stage and who could potentially be an excellent president.
However, I must admit to misgivings, and so I offer my thoughts in the hopes that you to continue to think deeply about America’s role in the...

Dear Elizabeth,
I know that you have repeatedly declined to run for President, and I'm very disappointed that you have failed to understand the enormity of the consequences of that refusal.
You, and you alone have shown the courage, the intelligence, and the will to fight the interests of the 1%. Having those attributes, and the understanding of the foe we face, the one which threatens the very core of democracy by flooding the political process with money, corrupting the politicians with promises of wealth and power unanswerable to the people, it is your duty to run, whether you like it or not, whether you win or not, because your presence in the primaries will force all other candidates to move in your direction, and that will be a very good thing.
If you run, I'm absolutely...
