Sheryl Oring

"I wish to say" is a national campaign started by Sheryl Oring in hopes that the public will voice their opinions and stand up for what they have to say. Oring was concerned that not enough people were expressing their entitled-by-the-constitution opinions to the government and our president. Oring set up a portable puclic office and presents a typewriter to the public so that as they pass, they have the option to write notes to the President (who at the time was Bush). She gives them the card and the stamp. The typewriter is meant to "set the mood". Oring said, "There is something about the typewriter that really draws people in and it is also a symbolic reminder of a different era when people took the time to write letters and people slowed down and listened to each other." Oring planned to take the project she has started nationally, all over the country throughout the election and then will eventually write a book. It is unknown if the president read the letters sent to him.
