- Dear President Bush:
-
- To say that for the most part I am disappointed in you,
would be to put it mildly. But why should you care? After all, your political
advisors are telling you to pander to whatever you wish because those who
support you have no one else to turn to.
-
- That may be the case, but I can assure you that there
will be no further campaign contributions from this household, and although
I could never vote for one of the nine Democrat dwarfs, I may not vote
at all. To vote for a man who has neither the courage nor the integrity
to fight for what is right for America and Americans rather than lawbreakers,
would be to discredit my franchise.
-
- You, and your administration, just don't get it. I was
a strong and vocal supporter, but I am disappointed with your domestic
policies. I supported you on Iraq and on the tax cuts. But signing the
campaign finance reform bill was wrong; signing the Ted Kennedy education
fiasco was wrong; and the Medicare reform that a large percentage of seniors
alive today will never see does too little too late. Your constant pandering
to that lout who is President of Mexico, Vicente Fox, is wrong. Your proposal
for amnesty, no matter what you call it, without first solving the problem
with illegal immigration is wrong, and worse than that, dangerous for the
way of life we have known and loved. Did our forefathers give their lives
and efforts to forge this country so that we could hear, "Press one
for English" on the telephone? So that a person who could not even
understand the English language could vote?
-
- You are the first President to not only be on watch,
but to assist, when one of the most basic and treasured rights in the Bill
of Rights has been abridged. Pornography - OK, but don't speak out during
an election. Why, because that pseudo Republican McCain, the darling of
the east coast left, from Arizona wanted it?
-
- Homeland Security is a joke. Make Grandma from Minnesota
strip down and be searched, and check Momma's shoes, but leave our borders
open. If you or Tom Ridge think our comfort level is raised when Grandma
takes off her shoes at the airport, all the while thousands of illegals
are pouring across our borders, you are mistaken. Without protecting our
borders there can be no secure homeland. And now, a proposal to give rewards
to those who have broken our laws and come into our country illegally goes
beyond the bounds of reason. Let's let all the burglars out of prison.
After all, there are so many of them it's getting hard to feed them. Let
us create a peon class and destroy middle America with low paying jobs
that are competed for by those with no heritage or ties to this republic.
-
- You are going to open the door to a mass exodus from
Mexico at a massive additional cost to the taxpayers of this country. And
while Jose gets every benefit known to mankind, our veterans, our seniors,
and the poor in our country, citizens all, go begging for assistance. America
is now a place where a citizen cannot deal with his funds in excess of
$10,000.00 without telling the feds about it, but millions of illegals
working here can send billions of American dollars to a country that has
disowned them? And all the while getting free medical care, free education,
and the like? Vicente the Fox must be laughing all the way to the bank.
-
- You fight for the right(?) of every illegal illiterate
downtrodden refugee from anywhere to come in and take advantage of our
tax dollars and generosity. But where is your fight for your sorely needed
judicial nominees and tort reform. And how could you countenance the paying
out of billions to the families who survived 9/11 (an act we were not responsible
for), while the survivors of men and women who have given their lives for
their country in Iraq receive a paltry $15,000.00? Where is the fight against
the secularization of our America? You, sir, a President who has a majority
in the House and in the Senate, have squandered it.
-
- You have been debased by the political arena. Instead
of standing on principle and fighting for what is right, fighting to preserve
what made our country great and strong, you are more concerned with pandering
for votes to be re-elected. And why should we continue your legacy? Is
the enemy within the greater evil than the enemy without who seeks the
throne?
-
- You have lost me. I cannot use my franchise to vote for
a man who, in my opinion, although strong in a few areas, has let this
country down in so many others. You have a sworn duty to enforce the laws
of this country - including immigration laws - and you turn your back on
doing so.
-
- You sir, a supposed Texan, have failed to Remember the
Alamo. You would also do well to remember the words of Gen. George Patton,"Moral
courage is the most valuable and usually the most absent characteristic
in men." You would appear to have lost the courage to fight for what
is right for America.
-
- Respectfully,
-
