Hi Ellen, I am a huge Canadian fan.I watch you every single day. However, I am from Montreal ( the english part) and somehow I am not able to enter any contests, because when I go to choose the province I am from, Quebec, is not an option. What's up with that. Love you
Are you tired of going office daily? Earn 50$ per hour working from home with Google! I get paid over $87 per hour working from home with 2 kids at home. I never thought I'd be able to do it but my best friend earns over 10k a month doing this and she convinced me to try. The potential with this is endless. Here is what I've been doing, http://www.GoogleCash.fab17.com
Ellen, your show always brings tears of joy to my eyes.
Your X-Mas Giving project is my opportunity to tell all about a hero right here in our neighborhood. Her name, Noelle Myers, a single mom raising her 10yr old son, Kieran, and her baby girl, Poppy. Poppy is an Apert Syndrome baby (craniofacial and limb disorder).
Noelle and Kieran have shared Poppy's pain and suffering with her never ending surgeries... Noelle is selling x-mas trees and wreaths in preparation for Poppy's next surgery in Texas come January.
I Know you have alot on your table, Ellen. Is there anything you can do for Noelle to make this path a little smoother for her? buy her wreaths and trees, maybe???
Love,Gloria
ps: you can read Poppy's story at littlepoppyseeds.wordpress.com
I'm making $86 an hour working from home. I was shocked when my neighbour told me she was averaging $95 but I see how it works now. I feel so much freedom now that I'm my own boss. This is what I do, Fly26.com
NO LETTER?! WTH?
There is no letter on here. I tried every link and even signed my name and address...just to be scammed.
There is no letter and now I am signed up to receive political ads from The Nation?
WARNING....This is beyond frustrating and wrong!
Dear Ellen,
My name is Allison and I am a huge fan of you show! I am a nurse at a psychiatric hospital and work primarily with children ages 5-13 who need have been abused, suffer from depression or have behavioral problems. My job can be very stressful at times.
When I am working the evening shift and I can wake up in the morning to your show I feel so much better about the day ahead of me. Your humor and compassion are exctlly what I need to wake me up in the morning and start my day on a positive note!
Ellen thank you for your humor, your compassion and of course the dancing! Thank you for waking me up every day with your positive energy! Congratulations on season 10 and I hope that you have many many more!
Much Love,
Allison Thompson
Thank u for making the world a happier place.. Love your humor.. Keep doin what u do.
Thank you for bringing this letter to my attention. Chris Kluwe, thank you for your eloquent words. I hope more athletes stand up like you have!
I think someone should send this link to Mitt Romney.
My last pay check was $9500 working 12 hours a week online. My sisters friend has been averaging 15k for months now and she works about 20 hours a week. I can't believe how easy it was once I tried it out. This is what I do, Be84.com
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this story. I am an avid NFL fan and an advocate for civil rights as well. "Real Men Real Voices" My partner and I will be celebrating this.... by wearing the team jerseys of Chris and Brandon all year long.
You go boys!
It should be stated that Mr. Kluwe not only wrote this AMAZINGLY inspiring letter, but is involved in so many ways. (Benefits, personal appearances, Twitter links, etc) If you are having trouble reading the letter in its entirety, simply Google "Cris Kluwe letter", I'm sure you will find plenty of links to follow. I was able to use my back button to go back to the orgininal ellen page link, and when I clicked into it a second time, the petition was gone and I could click thru to the Nation article.
Thank you Chris Kluwe, for saying with such panache what NEEDED to be said. I tip my horns in your honor, sir!
Ellen,
The vote on this issue is coming November 6. I hope that you will lend your support on your show, in whatever way you can and at whatever time you feel appropriate, to the VOTE NO! cause. We need everyone to weigh in and I think your voice would help. Please consider mentioning it to your viewers and fans. It looks like Minnesota could be the first state to defeat this mean-spirited and ugly amendment. We need you in the effort!
Thanks!

I agree everyone should be able to marry whom ever they love. Not sure if what I got to read was all of the letter, seemed pretty short.
Thank you, Tamara, for posting the link to the letter. I was unable to figure out how to get to it on Ellen's website. Ellen hit the nail on the head: what an inspiring, articulate and heartfelt response and perspective. So many of us feel exactly that same way but have a harder time putting our feelings into such succinct words. There has been a time or 2 in my (dance) teaching career where I know I was wrongly accused by a supervisor where my only recourse was to respond in letter of defense. I wish I had had Chris Kluwe in my back pocket for those anxiety-ridden times.
