As a paid subscriber I demand (lol) you KEEP sending both, that likely works for 99.999% of your subscribers. I like the recorded message so I can listen to it while warming up on the treadmill.

I love being able to listen. As a dyslexic person, I can read it but my comprehension and memory are so much better when I listen.

I wonder if Leonard Peltier will ever be granted clemency?

Whitney Lard's avatar

I wrote President Biding with that request.

I don't think Biden will do so for 80 year old, sick Leonard. Biden is so stuck in his belief that Leonard did the murder, even though the evidence didn't prove it.

If the Menendez brothers can be considered for a release with time served, certainly Leonard can be pardoned with the same reasoning.

Whitney Lard's avatar

He doesn't have to pardon him, he could commute his sentence.

This am Jan 20 th, Leonard’s sentence was commuted

I love your recordings! I like being able to read some days, and then other days that are more busy i can listen. Also, ever since i first found you on Brene Brown's podcast, i immediately loved your voice. No nonsense, direct, honest, smart, and kind.

I like receiving the recordings. Please continue doing them.

STOP sending your 2nd email, after your send us your Letters. AS PAID subscribers, we do not need these 2nd emails, which are reminders that we can ask questions, etc. about our Account etc. This is annoying. LOVE your email Letter, HATE the unnecessary 2nd emails that come after each Letter... annoying!!!

I do not get a second email with that information. Just the first printed one, and then the one containing the podcast. It is fine with me.

Likewise. Why do people have to grouse over such petty stuff? I'm just grateful I can afford - despite unemployment - the subscription and really enjoy listening to Heather.

I love both of your letters! Especially the verbal recording of your message. Unlike some people, I find it far easier and quicker to listen to you, since my reading is slower than most. Also, since I grew up in Maine, I like to hear your somewhat Maine accent. And since you are married to a lobsterman, that's even better for my reminders of the great state of Maine. Keep reading to us!

I love listening to your excellent clear voice, it sets you apart in a really good way and connects me so well with you and what you are reporting.

So unlucky ticket holders for Trump's inauguration are told to consider their tickets "commemorative", much like most of the dross he sells.

I read it one day and listen to it the next.

The reading is soothing, clarifying and helps retention!

So, does anybody think that MAGA rowdies will be in the Capitol Rotunda at DJT's inauguration? He'll be there, and his supporters will legally be allowed in. All I can say is "Hmmm...."

Hi Heather. I am a paid subscriber to your “Letters To An American” on SubStack and I follow the podcast version here on Apple Podcasts. Hearing you read your daily newsletter is very helpful to me. Hearing you speak about what is currently happening in a historical perspective is important and it helps me to process hard things. This is a difficult time and many of us feel anxious and unsteady. Thank you for your “Letters To an American” which never fails

to help me feel calmer and more grounded in the present moment, for I too am an American and I love my country.

Oh Heather there are many ups and downs about my kfeelings in terms of the Democrats - but I don’t get why none of them has faced up to at least giving Peltier a break m

Still can’t get your recordings now.

Dearest Heather,

You are a vital beacon of hope to the millions of us who follow you. I found you in June 2022 and have learned so much from reading your letters, and last night, I began to read your latest book. I am now writing under the by-line Letter from an Irish Canadian, which is in homage to you.

Today, I wish to introduce you and your followers to Charlie Angus, a great Canadian politician. I will now order his book, and I hope you and Charlie can collaborate somehow.

Warmly,

Frances Scully

I have been receiving emails for years and recently subscribed (paid toward HCR) and now weeks later I am getting nothing fromHCR. I don’t know how to get back on her list!!!
