RE: An act of Christian charity

Senator Kennedy,

Do you remember the marvelous scene in A Christmas Carol that has Marley, on his death bed, telling Scrooge, his partner, “Save yourself”?

It is obvious that you are on the 18th green. Whether you 3 putt it is no longer your choice.

May I suggest that, as an act of Christian charity, you write to the Governor of California – you went to his wedding, remember? – asking him to pardon Sirhan Sirhan?

No prisoner in America has been inside for as long as he has for the same crime.

Maybe it could be a catalyst for better relations in the Middle East. Maybe it could be the indulgence you need to keep you from the hell fires of Gehenna.

Either way, the clock is ticking.

Think about it.

My prayers are with you.
