TRANSACTIONAL LETTER

Dear Mr. or Mrs.


The propose of my letter is let you know that your article about the last event in Oldbury has many mistakes. I am one of the members who was arrested for participate in the last demonstration against the by-pass in our town. I just read your article about us, but I have noticed you did not write everything as it happened. I am not sure if you made a mistake or you just wrote your article with the propose to protect the by-pass. Well, let me remind you the article and tell you what you omitted on it.

As you said in your article, we did a demonstration last week where we were protesting against the building of the by-pass for our town. I want you to know what the reasons are for it, one of them as you pointed, is for the extinction of a rare species of snail, but it is also for the destruction of woodland. Second, in your report you estimated at least 200 people who met on the outskirts, but I think you forgot to put a zero because we were 2,000 people protesting.

Continuing with your disaster report, because I can not say anything better about it, you wrote that our protest was not peaceful and we were sitting on the road and chanted slogans at workers and police. Let me tell you that we were very silent at the moment of protest we do not like the other kind of protest. We are hard workers and many of us are residents from here.

I do not know which one was your source of information to do this article and I can notice you were not there. I am one of the person who participated in the entire demonstration until I was arrested and that happened at the end. I can be your main source of this matter. I would like you to interview me to fix this huge mistake against to us and moreover for our environment.

Yours faithfuly,

Jeannette Ulloa

TAKING THE CRIME IN OUR HANDS


As everybody knows crime has been increasing these years. There are believes that there is an intensification in the crime when the economy suffers a reduction the poverty increases and as a result we have crimes. But it is not the only reason for crime there are others like cyber crime, vandalism, murders, burglary, etc. Currently, this matter has become in a huge problem for the government and our society. Our duty is to give the fight against crime for our own welfare and protect our families.

We are able to combat the crime. Everything starts at home, so parents are the first people who instruct them to become in good people respecting the property of the others. We need to push people who make the law to change it, and we need to think that every criminal is different and as different they need other kind of penalty, and the latter should be rough.

As citizens we have the obligation to report if we are getting involve in a crime, for example: if there is a group who is breaking everything we can call the police, if we know that a member of our family is becoming in a criminal we should go with an specialist who can give us some advices about it and we can take the problem away. We need to stop to be a victim or passive people who never do nothing it is a community problem and all of the battles can be win if we are together.
