Tin soldiers and Nixon coming,

We’re finally on our own.

This summer I hear the drumming.

Four dead in Ohio.

(Lyrics by Neil Young)

Today is the anniversary of Kent State.  Because of that, Mendocino resident, Laurel Krause, wrote a letter to President Obama asking him to help her family understand the truth of what happened to her sister and three other young students who were killed there.  I’m reprinting it here.

Dear President Obama,

Last week my mother Doris Krause urged me to write a personal letter to help you understand the May 4th Kent State Massacre from a mother’s perspective, one parent to another. Voicing my reluctance to write again, I said, “I’ve written to President Obama more times than I can count.”

But Mom insisted, “Laurie, I want you to write about our family and how we’re similar to President Obama’s family. Let him know what happened when Allison went to college at Kent State, how she was shot dead protesting the Vietnam War by the National Guard on her campus. How afterwards your dad fought for the rest of his days, for Allison’s death to ‘not be in vain’ and how, even today, we have lost every Kent State battle for truth about Allison’s death.”

How many times have you wanted to say “Hey, Mr. President, what’s up with the crackdown on marijuana?”  Jimmy Kimmel gets to do that during the White House Correspondent’s dinner and then end his routine with a high five to Obama.

Sorry, I put up Obama’s remarks instead (and didn’t catch it until people had already linked to Obama’s comments on Facebook. So down below are Kimmel’s comments.
