Dear John,

We set this site up to send encouragement to support you to go to Copenhagen.

It seemed to have some success... so we are encouraged to keep it going.

We want to support you to be a brave courageous and honorable leader, and there are some new policies on the table that threaten your reputation as a good leader.

We want to support you to work hard to protect the things that we hold dear, to guarantee 'thriveability' for all New Zealanders - today and in the future.

We have great hopes for you as a leader, and now is your chance to shine. There's a special role for you in the Big Work of our time. We know that it's hard work, but we are confident that you are up to it. Go on John, make us proud.

We stand behind you.
With love,
Us

To the point

Dear John,

I’ve always admired your ability to put things in plain terms, so I imagine the letters you value are the ones that get straight to the point.

I am so delighted you are going to be present at Copenhagen, but it makes me sad that New Zealanders must celebrate such a small hat-tip to the most important international summit in history. I am hoping above everything, that you can make New Zealand happy for something much more worthy - for taking this opportunity to be strong and stand for the wellbeing of future generations.

Go on John, make us proud.

With a lot of love for the people on this planet,

a young Dunedinite.
