See all 110 CommentsThe reason I am writing to you is not for me. It is that my daughter who is 41 She needs something GOOD to happen in her life. First when she married 19 yrs. ago she had a baby and had to go to work immediately. She's HAD to work since, and now she has raised 3 children and worked full time, as well as putting herself through college, and is in the nursing program. For she is a GIVER not a taker, she has worked very hard at Egelston Children's Hospital in Atlanta in the ICU Step-down unit. She has been recently diagnosed as having M.S. She will graduate 12/12/12 with a nursing degree and is in a Nursing Program to become a Registered Nurse, She will graduate but I am afraid she will not get to practice nursing for long. She has lost a lot of feeling in her hand's and legs. She has been the BEST MOTHER ever.Madison is 18 and just graduated from High School, and is attending college with her Mom. Olivia is 17 and will graduate this year.James is 10 and in school.I cannot tell you HOW HARD MY DAUGHTER HAS WORKED AND RAISED THE 3 KIDS.I wish I could give her a new car,she has had to drive used cars forever.She has taken them to ballgames,practice's,and still work and cook and do all the regular Mommy things.She also had to have her thyroid removed recently and still kept up a Great Spirit through it all. Katie please think of something special you can do for her, even if it's just a letter to say "Keep It Up Leah, you're doing a GREAT JOB!" As a Mom I am so very proud of her.She gives of herself and never complains or takes time for herself. All her time is divided between her 3 wonderful kids or all her kids at the Hospital. Please Katie do something for her, I just cannot afford to or I would give her the Moon....Thanks for taking the time to read this and may God continue to bless you. I am so very glad He has given you your own show. It's about time you deserve it, I've met you several times at the Today show during commercials.I realize you don't remember me. But I will NEVER FORGET YOUR KINDNESS AND YOUR "SWEET" PERSONALITY. Thanks and keep up the great work. I watch you every time you are on TV on anything.You are welcome in my house(on TV of course) everyday.......Scherree Murray the MOST PROUD MOM ALIVE !!!!!!!!

MY NAME IS KEVIN W. SYKES. I AM A WHISTLEBLOWER FOR THE FBI FOR COVERT(?) CASE/INVESTIGATION NO. 20115958. I HAVE EMAILED YOU RECENTLY, SO I WOULD IMAGINE YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE CASE BY NOW. I RESIDE AT 1325 W. WILSON AVE. APT. 705 IN CHICAGO, ILLINOIS 60640. I HAVE BEEN PROVIDING INFORMATION TO THE UNDERCOVER AGENTS ASSIGNED TO THIS BUILDING SINCE LAST SEPTEMBER OR SO. THIS CASE APPEARED TO INVOLVE DOMESTIC CONCERNS ONLY INITIALLY. NOW THERE APPEARS TO BE A FOREIGN COMPONENT AS WELL. SOME OF THE UNDERCOVER AGENTS ARE ENGAGING IN ILLEGAL ACTIVITY WHICH IS INFRINGING UPON MY RIGHTS AS AN AMERICAN CITIZEN. THE ROOT OF THIS APPEARS TO BE MY VERY OPEN AND UNAPOLOGETIC PREFERENCE FOR WHITE WOMEN. I AM OF BLACK DESCENT. THE CHICAGO FBI OFFICE HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS FROM THE BEGINNING.
LAST YEAR, WHENEVER I CALLED THE CHICAGO OFFICE, I WAS IMMEDIATELY CONNECTED WITH A DUTY AGENT. NOW, MY CALLS ARE SCREENED BY THE OPERATOR OR SOME OTHER PERSON WHO IS NOT AN AGENT. WHEN I TRIED CONTACTING BOB MULLER(?) IN WASHINGTON, I WAS TOLD THAT HE WAS OUT OF THE COUNTRY. I WAS NOT ABLE TO SPEAK TO OR LEAVE A VOICE MAIL FOR ROBERT GRANT EITHER. THE MANAGEMENT/LEADERSHIP OF THE FBI SEEMS TO BE UNWILLING OR UNABLE TO CONTROL ITS AGENTS. THEY ALSO SEEM TO BE UNCONCERNED ABOUT THE SUCCESS OF THIS INVESTIGATION OR THE SAFETY OF THEIR AGENTS AS A WHOLE. I HAVE BEEN WALKING THROUGH THE STREETS SPEAKING OUT AGAINST THIS ROGUE FACTION OF THE FBI, AND AGAINST BOB MULLER AND ROBERT GRANT, YET NOTHING DECISIVE IS BEING DONE TO REIGN IN THESE AGENTS.
PLEASE DO NOT ALLOW THIS PROBLEM TO CONTINUE, AS MATTER OF UPHOLDING MY RIGHTS, AND AS A MATTER OF NATIONAL SECURITY.

Would there be any interest doing a piece on courts awarding custody of children to woman almost by default. There are uncountable father's out there who are caught in the struggle of maintaining a relationship with their kids and are the good guys. Why is it that the courts award it most of the time to woman, even if they are not providing the necessary parental love and other emotional needs to the children? Should we not overcome the ancient old believe that mother is best?
You know how easily the attrocities in Libya could escalate w/o the
concerted media attention, in fact the mainstream population of this country know more about the political struggle of Middle Eastern people
than they do about the Native people in this land. "The Red man's dying, but your back is still turned." Perhaps "it's better to burn out than to fade away." Why won't anyone bring these crimes to the attention of the
public? Reservation children, in North and South Dakota are killing themselves at twice the national rate of suicide. If you pooled the general population as to the social station of 'skins on reservations
the overwhelming majority would tell yopu that all injuns are rich from the casinos, and yet 3 of the 4 poorest counties in the U.S. are in North
and South Dakota and comprising Government established reservations for the Sioux people. Please help the People before it is too late. Thanks.
