Dr. Laura is urging her listeners to try and convince Colin Powell to cancel his speech at the ALA convention, to write to ToysRUs for canceling their $150,000 donation to ALA to build children's reading rooms, and to go to the ALA convention as a "conservative voice". We must--those of us who believe that hers is an overreaction, to say the least--also write to Powell and email or write to ToysRUs and express our opinions. Please do that right now, at least by emailing Toys with the address given below. I am including a bit what is written on her web page http://drlaura.electricvillage.com/ (look in monologues.
