FBI questions Reno boy

So a 16-yr-old girl recieves death threats for being a Muslim. The Reno Gazette Journal prints an article about it in yesterday's Reno/Sparks section, complete with a picture of her sitting with her older brother and their mother. Some ignorant fuktards call the FBI, claiming the boy looks like one of the seven terror suspect whose pictures were just released by the FBI.

Lovely.

Naturally, the boy is cleared since he looks nothing like any of the seven.

I wonder if there's any good ways of contacting this family and letting them know that not all of us (Reno-ites, Nevadans, USAmericans) view them with fear and loathing...

EDIT:
Here's the link to the article about the sister.

1. Flood the letters to the editor with your views
here is a link to Nevada newspaper directory.

Here is a Nevada media on-line directory:

It is a crime against the good people of this nation that we now have to aggressively let the world know we are not all a bunch of xenophobic twits. But we had better do it. When leaders fail, the people must lead and be our own ambassadors of good will. We have over a decade of hat radio to overcome and we need let our neighbors know heinous behavior is not acceptable from them any more.

Reno PD has had "issues" with racial profiling of hispanics for a few years.
