Dear Mr. Paterson,
I know the pressure is immense for you to step in and fill the void that Mr. Spitzer's alleged and apparently acknowledged actions seem to be taking us New Yorkers. I have always had a respect for your even handed and honest approach to politics in New York. 
While I believe that taxation is theft and war is the health of the state, there are certainly times when leadership, any leadership, is better than the current mess that we are in. As you know, Senator Clinton is fighting for the nomination of your party for the office of President. I urge you to ask Mrs. Clinton to suspend that effort and to jointly declare that reform in New York is as important for the world as it is New York.
With your enlightened approach in this matter, the nightmare of the current race and scandal in NY could unite us back into a common front for virtual socialism, fascism and legal tyranny, to say nothing of the undemocratic mechanisms which prevent good people from running for public office.
Sincerely,
John/Jane Q. Public 99
