From the Denver Post's catch-all inbox:
WE WANT OBAMA AND TEBOW TO UNITE IN A BIPARTISAN WHITE HOUSE PRAYER SUMMIT FOR JOBS. WE BELIEVE THAT BECAUSE TEBOW IS HONORING GOD THAT THE TEAM MAY BE BLESSED WITH A SUPER BOWL VICTORY. IN THE PAST, WE HAVE HELD VIGILS AND E-MAILED THE WHITE HOUSE ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS PREISDENT HOLDING SUCH A VIGIL THAT COULD TURN THIS COUNTRY AROUND. WHEN WILL THEY WAKE UP AND USE TEBOW’S METHOD OF...
