Hooters World Wing-Eating Championship (coming to Clearwater on 7/25/13) Frontrunner Phoned In Bomb Threat on 9-11

To Whom It May Concern:
   I am writing to you about the despicable actions of Hooters and Major League Eating, the organization that is producing the Hooters World Wing-Eating Championship. Just what have they done? It has come to my attention they are sponsoring and celebrating the participation of a woman who was convicted of phoning a bomb threat to an airplane flying on September 11th!!! This woman's name is Miki Sudo and because she can eat a lot, Major League Eating and Hooters are rolling out the red carpet for her as if she is an American hero. But she is not!  
  As an American this breaks my heart and makes me very angry.Why on earth would Major League Eating do this us? Even more puzzling, why on earth would Hooters do this to us? It is salt in our wounds. I think Hooters is such an American restaurant. Why do they wish to be a part of Miki Sudo's twisted world. Do they know about Miki Sudo and what she did? How she disgraced the memories of those who died on 9/11? How she played upon the fear that day of terror created? At one time Hooters owned an airplane, for crying out loud. Have they forgotten?
   Remember these words? "You are either with us or against us." Those words ring true for many Americans especially the people of FLA, which are proud patriots and defenders of our country. So many of our brave soldiers come from Florida. It is a spit in the eye to bring Miki Sudo to Florida's shores. It is a slap in the face to celebrate her as thousands of Florida's young people defend the U.S. of A proudly and anonymouly. Get her out of our sight.
  Miki Sudo is not welcome here and should not be celebrated. I don't care if she can eat chicken wings. She is a disgrace to America. Hooters should be ashamed to be associated with her. If this contest is business to them, I hope they understand the risk that she is. Put her face and her story out there. I'm sure it will be good for business. NOT.
   Here are some links to her story. Please help me spread the word. I want Florida to know what happens on her shores. Maybe we can stop it.
