my Pete letter
This is my letter that I am sending out to media. Constructive criticism
appreciated.
Jo
I wanted to make you aware of the statement that the Phoenix House (child
abuse charity) released regarding Pete Townshend. See Link:
http://www.phoenixsurvivors.com/Townshendx.html
The Phoenix House had previously criticized Mr. Townshend, but after
carefully reviewing the facts, as well as the essay written by Mr. Townshend called "A
Different Bomb," they have retracted their criticism and have instead
supported an email petition to have Mr. Pete Townshend's name taken off the Sex
Offenders Registry list. They stated that his name does not belong on the list and
I agree.
Pete Townshend of The Who has understandably been hurt deeply by being
misjudged as a pedophile. He is a victim of abuse and has given his time, energy
and support to charities for other victims. So, it is unfair that as a
survivor of abuse, his name has now been smeared. But, since the facts have come
out, I believe it would be the right thing to report those facts and support this
petition for his name to be removed from the sex offenders registry.
Sincerely,
Johannah Johnson
