The writer is writing a letter to the editor because they feel too many changes are happening in their country and small town. Their favorite restaurant has been replaced by a burger place, and the town leaders do not seem to care about preserving local culture. The writer plans to start an action group and appear on a TV show to raise awareness about the issue and encourage people to take action before it is too late.
