What you just wrote here is a perfect example of the greatness that makes up this country — it includes people like you who recognize, acknowledge, and beautifully express gratitude for all the people and efforts that form and have formed the foundations of the freedom and equality we hold dear and aspire to. May we keep our existing freedoms and all work to make America more free and truly better in all the best and most constructive ways. Thank you for your constant inspiration.

Charlotte,

I’ve admired your work for years and have long loved your writing style. Today’s entry for July 4 was so beautiful it moved me to tears. That is how I feel too, though you have said it better than I. Thank you.

I am an author. The greatest compliment I can give a piece of writing is saying, "Damn, I wish I had written that!" Your words say it all, the sentiments we must hold dear, the phrases we must shout from the ramparts. Thank you, Charlotte.

Charlotte,

Once again I must ask that you consider running for public office. Perhaps it's not something that appeals to you. I get that. The process can be mean and dirty, but I sincerely hope that you'll consider it.
