Here is a template for the email
here's an email if you'd like to use it (with thanks to u/CaptJackL0cke! To Whom it May Concern:  I am writing to express my deepest concern re: the proposals to change subject headings pertaining to "Mexico, Gulf of" to "America, Gulf of" (and also Mount Denali to Mount McKinley). I firmly DO NOT SUPPORT these changes and they are NOT in accordance with LCSH standards as follows:  According to LCSH standards, when cataloging international place names, the preferred practice is to use the most widely recognized English form of the place name, usually with the country name following as a subdivision, ensuring consistency and clarity when searching for information across different regions. The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water that does not reside solely within the jurisdiction of the United States. The most common English form of the place name is indeed Gulf of Mexico, therefore this subject heading should not be changed.  Similarly, Mount Denali has been the place name since 2015 and is the preferred name which "reflect(s) the traditions of Alaska Natives and the preference of many Alaskans" (Associated Press, 2025, para. 10). Additionally, “Denali is more than a mountain,” Dibert of Fairbanks said in a news release. “It’s a cornerstone of Alaska’s history, a tribute to our diverse culture and a testament to the people who have cherished this land for millennia" (Associated Press, 2025, para. 10).  Sincerely, (NAME) Reference: Associated Press. (2025, February 7).  *Alaska legislature asks Trump to retain Denali's name instead of change it to Mount McKinley*.

Yeremi Colino, a migrant, was stabbed to death in the New York City financial district by 3 men who attacked after asking if he spoke English.

Where is the massive manhunt by police? Where are the rewards? Why no video or pics of the murderers yet?

Not a dime of that money will come from his multi-million bank account or his multi-billion employer. It'll 100% come from your (and my) taxes.

In the meantime, the guy who killed a teenager in central park is still at large and neither the NYPD or FBI care to offer a reward. Or investigate.
