Hello Zaynab,
ZR>DH> I have edited out most of the letter but the complaint of Mr. Peters 
s
ZR>DH> that he is incarcerated for a crime which he did not commit.  The
ZR>DH> following is his list of people he has contacted, seeking help in
ZR>DH> gaining redress for preceived wrongs, and their responses:
(snip)....
ZR>DH> 46. LOS ANGELES TIMES  Never any response.
ZR>DH> 47. SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER Never any response.
ZR>DH> 48. 60 MINUTES They have not bothered to respond.
ZR>DH> 49. THE OLYMPIAN NEWSPAPER No response, I called too, they hang up 
hen
ZR>DH>    they find out who I am.
ZR>DH>
ZR>DH>     So, if you know other places to write to, it would help conserve
ZR>DH> my limited resorces,,if you know an honest attorney who is available,
ZR>After all those non-responses, this guy must be very frustrated!  What is 
he
ZR>imprisoned for?  My belief is that going to the news media may be the best 
w
ZR>to bring attention to his plight.  Talk and information shows sometimes 
will
ZR>help.  Here are a few addresses.  Also, leaving messages in AOL and 
Compuser
ZR>type areas set up by the shows will help get messages to them.
Thank you very much for your response.  I would say, by the appearance
of his letters, that Mr. Peters is frustrated alright.  I am not
exactly sure what he is in prison for.  He talks in generalities and
says he does not have court records, etc., to back his claim.  He
indicates he has been in prison most of the last 20 years and admits to
having been involved in wrongdoing in the past.  But he also asserts
that *this* time he is innocent and, although there is no way for me to
tell for sure, he sure makes a lot of noise for a guilty party.
ZR>He can also try president@whitehouse.gov.... I recently wrote there and 
ot
ZR>response via email, then two follow up letters, one from an employee of 
he
ZR>president and one from another agency that my problem was referred to.  
This
ZR>may not look like much but I think getting the top levels of government to
ZR>help with referrals does give our problems more attention.
He can't try president@whitehouse.gov because prisoners do not have
Internet access.  But I will forward a copy of your message to him and
he can try those.  I believe he already had contacted 60 minutes.
Then I am going to see what he does with those and what kind of replies
I get from him.

Thanks again for the input.
