to whom it may concern, dear whoever you might be

"Having watched [Mitt Romney] in the primaries, you have to wonder whether there is any issue in which he would turn to the far-right in his party and say: ‘I’m sorry. You have this wrong. Here’s the hard truth. …’
One place he could start to change that perception is with the issues of energy, conservation and the environment. In recent years, the G.O.P. base has fallen into a knee-jerk drill, baby, drill attitude that clean energy is for sissies and protecting the environment only hurts jobs, therefore, conservatism and conservation can’t mix. Last week, Romney traveled to a remote coal-mining town, Craig, Colo., where he trashed President Obama’s green jobs record, while addressing workers wearing caps that said ‘Coal = Jobs.’ Yes, it does, for lung doctors."
