That would be okay. Everyone could PM me their address, I could make a list that went by region and include it with the letter. You'd sign it, cross off your address, and send it to the next one on the list! Then we could send one copy over to the UK and pass the other one around the States, then up to Canada. They'd get 2 letters each, one from North America and one from Europe! How's that for impressive? 
I've emailed the mayor and asked if we could send it to his office. I didn't think that anyone was going to give me a little girls address and I didn't really want to ask for it.
How about if you all send me your letters... and I put it all in a box and send it to her? I'd like to get her a gift certificate as well.
And I don't think we should forget the mayor since he is being open to a .. 8-year-old?

Here again, I feel that all dogs should go through the CGC ( Canine Good Citizen ) and be rewarded by a cut in local registration costs....this is a simple test, costing little, that is required before a dog can get their TDI (Therapy Dog International ) or the equalivant. Dogs that can't pass this test need training . It is the owner, not the breed. If it is the dog, then it's poor breeding and the dog is dangerous.
Okay, here's what I've got. The first one is for little Maria, the second one is for the mayor. Edit as you see fit. As I understand it, here's the steps:
1. Print out 2 separate letters, one to Maria and one to Mayor Wells. Sign the bottoms and date the tops.
2. Personalize the letters with anything you like for Maria or the Mayor.
3. Send to Saje, who will collect them and ship them off to their ultimate destinations.

Dear Maria,
I read about your letter to Mayor Wells. I think getting owners to pass a test before they can own a “high risk” dog is a wonderful idea! It would do a world of good for the misunderstood dog breeds to be restricted to owners who could prove that they could be responsible. You’ve done a wonderful thing for the dogs, and I know they would all thank you if they could!
Sincerely,

Dear Mayor Wells,
I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for considering the concept proposed by Maria Halleran, concerning the licensing of prospective owners of “high risk” dog breeds. I believe strongly in responsible dog ownership for the life of the dog. Careless owners don’t just put their dogs at risk, they put the community at risk. Too many dogs lose their happiness, health, homes, and lives when an owner doesn’t devote the time and resources to making sure their dog is a safe, positive animal.
I understand the logistical problems associated with the proposal, but I hope to see that such a process is implemented for the benefit of all, human and canine alike. I support and admire your efforts to create a community educated in the responsibilities and rewards of conscientious dog ownership.
Sincerely,
