A letter to the New President and New Congress

I found this and thought I would publish it

A letter to the new president and Congress

I want my country back. I want America back. I don’t care which party or candidate wins as long as you do the following.

Please bring back the system of checks and balances. There is a reason for it to be there. The Legislative, Executive and Judicial branch are there for a reason. Don’t undo it. We won’t allow it. No more secrets please.

The media is no longer the fourth power in America. Don’t privatize the internet. The truth will eventually set us free. The corporations which own our so called mainstream media can do as they like. The people will eventually find the truth. It will just take longer.

Get rid of torture in any form. It does not work and it trashes our American values.

When you want to win the war on terror, besides weapons you must use soft diplomacy. Let me remind you what the Marshall plan did for American and the world in World War 2. Bring it back. Hatred breeds more hatred. We are not safer. We need allies and we need to understand why people do what they do besides a simplistic “They hate us because we are free”

I don’t care how you figure it out. We need access to health care. We need for people to become responsible for their own health as well. Quit pandering to the pharmaceutical, insurance companies and hospital corporations. Let’s focus on health, not medicine, Prevention, not treatment once and for all.

Global warming is not a HOAX. It is real . Let’s do something about it. Commit to alternative fuels that don’t hurt the environment either. Build rail. Make fuel efficient cars. Sign international treaties that hold everyone accountable, including China and India. We are all interconnected.

We need immigrants and we also need a safe border. We can stop scapegoating by comprehensive reform. Come up with a bipartisan plan. They would not be here if we didn’t have jobs for them.

Why are you allowing our banks to trick consumers into getting more credit cards than they need or loans they can’t pay? Wake up and then wake us up!

In the past 30 years, the gap between rich and poor has gotten bigger and bigger. No great country can thrive without a middle class. Figure out how to close that gap or we’ll become a second rate country.

Move away from an economy based on war. We don’t want it and we can’t afford it.


We the people are the government too and eventually we wake up and we’ll kick you out if you keep messing up our nation.

Quit using fear to do whatever you want. What we have to fear is fear itself. This worked for a while but we are tired of it. Don’t use it anymore.

Quit lying. Tell the truth. Sooner or later we’ll find out. We just don’t want millions of people dead in the process. Don’t forget. We don’t want any more secrets, lies, and fear in your speeches. We want the truth as painful as it is because it will set us free.

The only way American can get back on her feet again is to unite, among party lines, racial lines, cultural lines. We are Americans and we are a great nation because when we finally get fed up. We act. We are fed up. Wake up Mr. President and Congress. Wake up.
