Dear President Obama,
Congratulations on becoming the 44th President of the United States and as a
citizen of this great nation, our beloved America, I wish you the very best in
the coming four years.
First of all let me introduce myself to you and
explain who I am and why I am writing to you. I am one of the sixty million
(59,934,786 to be exact) Americans who voted for the other Democrat who ran on
the Republican ticket.
I am a naturalized, ordinary American citizen with
an extraordinary thirst for knowledge and information about America and
Americans who influence or mess up our daily lives. Communicating with them is
one of my hobbies. I have been engaged in this quest for the last fifty-five
years of which thirty-five were spent here in America. When I came to America I
had eight dollars with me and today - after thirty-five years - I may have four
dollars and some change after paying off all “toxic assets” that accumulated
during the past several years because of massive taxation and progressive
politics of a criminal class who holds the majority shares in our public
corporation called The United States of America.
I am an AMERICAN. That
means I consider FREEDOM as my birth-right and that freedom comes from GOD, not
GOV. That is why I "hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are
created equal (and that goes for women too), that they are endowed by their
CREATOR, (not their elected representatives) with certain inalienable rights,
that among these are LIFE, LIBERTY and the PURSUIT of happiness." And I also
completely agree with Thomas Jefferson that "to SECURE (not PAY FOR) these
rights governments are instituted," and that "whenever any form of government
becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to
abolish it and to institute new Government."
In the past thirty-five
years I have lived in America I witnessed the gradual erosion of these basic
truths, not because they are no longer valid, but because men with power will
always subjugate their fellow-men, blackmail them and steal their freedom, their
labor and their belongings.
In the past we called this this theft of
other people’s rights and resources slavery. Today it is big, intrusive
"government" which is destructive to the hopes, ambitions and dreams of millions
of Americans. Those of us working in the non-government sector do not have any
protection from the constant assault from 87,000 different forms of
"governments" where 23,000,000 people have found a refuge for
life-time-guaranteed jobs.
Those who run “the government” seem to hold on
to a view that to protect this privileged class of bureaucrats governments are
instituted, exactly opposite of what the Declaration of Independence states. Can
you protect me and millions of others like me from obese governments whose
primary function is to rob one group, count the money, keep a big chunk for
themselves and re-distribute the rest to a permanent class of
dependents.
I have a feeling that you, Mr. President, deep in your heart,
is a true American, even though some of your past associations with certain
Americans and their sermons leave some doubts in my mind. But when I read the
letter that you wrote for Malia and Sasha in which you mention the importance of
the words in The Declaration of Independence, I realize what a great father you
are.
Mr. President, America is facing very serious, unprecedented
challenges. You have just taken the pilot’s seat of US Air Flight 1549 and the
plane is rolling on to the runway. Those sixty-nine million voters who put you
on the captain’s seat were told by New York Times, CBS, TIME magazine and others
that you are Captain Sully. I hope and pray you are. But when you promote
trillion-dollar spending programs just keep one thing in mind, those Canada
geese you see ahead, they look innocent but they are deadly. They represent
free-loaders of all kinds, from big businesses to professional
government-dependents. You can let a few into the engine - America’s economic
engine - but too many, you are in peril.
I wish you the very best, Mr.
President.
Sincerely,
The Blogtrotter
