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,
