   How can we achieve “Democracy” in the Middle East when we are so buy fighting for power and attention in our own country? If we can not show other countries that two or more sides can make things work together succesfully, how can we every make any other country work with a Demacracy when we can not do any thing but debate and talk. We are forget a basic way of learning anything is by example.

   I know this is an important anniversary in re: the war in Irag…however Meredith Viera should keep her opinions to herself, Matt should not let his angry tone show in interviews…just report the news, allow others to state their view points and stay out of it….the media makes everything worse in politics, in our economy…remember the news is: what has occured, reporting without bias or personnal imput…grrrrrr..you are getting very bigheaded…and I cannot stand Meredith Viera, never could and will never.

   Greetings,

   I do not know if this where to write too, but here goes!! I followed your procedures to submitt what we thaought was a wonderful story and in hopes you would honors the students involved with a feature on your show.

   Back in Dec. of 2006, students from Chauncey Rose Middle School, 1275 #rd Avenue, Terre Haute, IN 47807 recieved a National Honor from our Government’s Pentagon!! There school was picked out of 500 schools across the county for their letters they wrote to the Troops through a project call Connect and Join, founder Mrs. Dennis. Out of 20,000 letters which were written and sent to the Pentagon to read, one of their students out of the nine student counsel members, was selected the best letter out of 20,000!!!!!!! that was submitted. The student name was Marlin Hill. He and his fellow students were so surprised!!!! This was a project they did to let the troops know they cared. It was a project for “Make a differents Day” and it really made a differents. The 181st Airbourne here in Terre Haute made a presentation to the school and students and in Februrary, the students were honored with an all school program.

   With all the negative the press give to some students, it would have been nice to see these student get their chance to let others know that they can make a difference. Their letters, along with the other letters will be place in a special display in the Library of Congress. Some of these student smay never see their letters there, but, I was hoping maybe your show cold take some pictures of their letters and let them know what a big deal this really is!!!! I would hope the President would have wanted to speak with these students, oh, well.

   Please, consider this request. I have been wacthing your show for years, and I know you do shows, interviews and even have them on your show in New York. I seen your show where you have had dogs and cats on, these student really rate higher that see you get a do out of a icey pond?

   If you need farther information on these wonderful students, please contact their principal:

   Has Dr. Nancy Snyderman given up the personal ethics of Medicine in favor of profits and financial greed on the part of the network she represents?

   Recent events may lead to that exact conclusion. Snyderman, Medical Editor in Chief for NBC is now appearing in numerous roles on NBC Nightly News, and the NBC Today Show, as representative of Merck & Co.,Inc., the large pharmaceutical company. Dr. Snyderman is being paid by NBC, in an attempt to legitimize and advertise drugs manufactured and distributed exclusively by Merck under guise of news or important medical information.

   On three separate shows produced and aired by NBC, Dr. Nancy Snyderman has suggested that she supports the legislative mandates of states like Texas, to require vaccination against HPV. Obviously to the great financial gain of Merck, and NBC as the recipient of advertising dollars. Fortunately the Texas State Legislature has now blocked the governors order, in favor of Education, over Legislation!

   Several days ago, she again supported the new Chicken Pox vaccine which is manufactured and exclusively sold by Merck. Snyderman then admitted that the vaccine actually gives no assurances against getting the Chicken Pox. This was done in a pseudo / tabloid like interview on the NBC Today Show relative to a story about Chicken Pox parties being hosted throughout the country.

   As recently as March 23, 2007, Dr. Snyderman again suggests that drugs like Fosamax are appropriate in the treatment of Elizabeth Edwards cancer. All without the benefit of any examination, or consultation with her doctors. ”’Fosamax”’ is manufactured and sold by who else; Merck!

   So, has Dr. Snyderman discredited herself? Is Snyderman guilty of Mouthpiece Malpractice ? Many seem to think so, and as such, deserves no legitimate recognition as someone we should trust to provide us with unbiased advise! Her advise now appears to be tied to the fortunes of Merck, and NBC. This is truly a tragedy in story of corporate greed in America, as we sacrifice our trusted advisors on the Alter of Profit!
