Welcome to the WE THE PEOPLE project responses.

I've tried to organize these by topic, but sometimes it was just not possible. Transcription errors may seem abundant, but every effort was made to print exactly what was written on the card. Where a word was incomprehensible it simply says "garbled". I take no responsibility for grammer or punctuation. I wrote em like I read em.

You can scroll through the list, or use the following list of topics to jump to the section you are interested in.

Have Fun !!!

Thanks

 

 

Dear Mr. President, Senators, Representatives and Court Justices --

Thanks for stepping up and doing the dirty work of running this country. The folks you represent complain a lot, analyze your every choice, love and hate you without ever having met you. Those of us who have never had a direct hand in government outside of voting tend to think of you as another species entirely, remote, unassailable, forgetting that we affect you as you affect us. Please remember were fallible people too, that we mean well, but our whole lives depend on the choices that you make, and that we get nervous about that sometimes. Forgive us. Take care of us. And thank you again.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Greetings,

You have one of the most difficult professions imaginable. Most of us like to think we can handle the job, and with it, the tough decisions, the harsh criticisms, and the taste of providing a service of representation for millions of people with vastly different views on government. I admire your commitment to your job, and I hope your main reason for being there isn't to get reelected, but to do the fairest most honest, hardest work you can during your brief term in government area power, control, and political advancement based on attack ad campaigns need to stop. "The people" are guilty for electing people based on advertisements, but you're above that. You know it is better to be honest with yourself and the people, because at the end of the day, you'll have your soul, which is something up bigger paycheck can never give you.

Sincerely,

One insignificant individual

 

--------------------------------------

 

Every person matters.

Thank you for serving.

 

--------------------------------------

 

We love you, but wonder about your priorities.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Dear twentysomething staffer who has to read all these,

Thank you for doing your job. Thanks for wading through all these messages. Yes, I'm writing from the desert, but I'm not crazy. I am a twentysomething upwardly mobile young adult just like you. I guess all I want to say, apart from thank you, is please remember why you chose to do what you do. "Public service" doesn't have to be in an ideal. And please hold your boss to that ideal to, in whatever small way you can.

Thanks,

 

--------------------------------------

 

Thank you for reading.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Thanks for representing the voice of the American citizens so well!

 

--------------------------------------

 

Please do what you think is right -- popularity and your life will fade; the things you do while in office will not.

Do not lose faith in us -- we have not all lost faith in you.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Keep up the good work!

 

--------------------------------------

 

Thank you for your service to her country.

All the best to you.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Bless you

Give peace.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Thank you!

 

--------------------------------------

 

Dear Representatives,

Thank you for your efforts and please do more in the right direction.

Be bold and vote your heart. Listen to the garbled feelings and American future. Then vote please. Without any concern of elections, lobbyists, political consultants. The future depends on more of your help.

Sincerely

 

--------------------------------------

 

Thank you for your service to our country.

 

--------------------------------------

 

First of all: Thank you for doing what no one else wants to do. Not many are interested in what goes on here. Still, there aren't enough that care. I'm German and the idealism of your country was founded on attracts me.

You have a great foundation, please keep being courageous to live up what the paper document is promising. Or else it will be another empty phrase.

 

--------------------------------------

 

I believe in our great nation. We do have difficulties. When we work together and prevail, is greatness will be resumed.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Thank you!!!

 

--------------------------------------

 

Please do your best to really really listen to the will of the people. People are not stupid (well, not all of them). People, in general, want peace. They want to cooperate and collaborate. Please don't write them off as ignorant, aggressive animals. Surely you worked as hard as you did to get to where you are because you care about this country. About democracy. Please represent us. Accurately and honestly. Thank you!

Sincerely,

 

--------------------------------------

 

It must be very hard to be a politician. Either people love you or hate you. Fight the good fight and leave the rest of chance.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Let's make less of a big deal about our problems and celebrate all whole lot more of our success.

Perfection does not exist so there is always good and bad but we can choose what we see.

Look at the good.

 

 

Do Your Job

 

I hope we can regain respect in the world by treating our world and its inhabitants respectfully!

Thank you.

 

--------------------------------------

 

The writers of this (the Constitution) were brilliant. The principles that they wrote so many years ago should not be forgotten!

Long live the USA.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Hey, you government workers!

Do you feel like a "mole" in the behemoth of the Bush machine?

I did too. I know you work hard and I know you care. Keep true to yourself. What you do and your kindness matters! And it makes a difference!

 

--------------------------------------

 

Dear elected government officials,

I hope you take your job seriously. There are millions of Americans who have entrusted you with the job of governing our great garbled. Do America right by pursuing liberty and justice for all. Not just privileged white folks.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Reject your desire to act as individuals! Stand and act as representative entity of the people who live by hearts, not by apparent pressure from those with money. Stand and act.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Yes there are conservatives at the Burn. I hope you will keep the original intent of the founders. Freedom for all and equal representation. But most of all freedom of speech in print, radio, Internet and all forms of communication.

 

--------------------------------------

 

We won't be free people unless we pay attention to the needs of American people and not the rich.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Stop lying to the American people. The garbled to them. Tell them what they need to hear. They will listen and grow garbled

 

--------------------------------------

 

Now more than ever we need honest discussion about the future of our country. It's not enough to be great. To really be great we must not be afraid of our weaknesses.

 

--------------------------------------

 

You are elected by all the people but only represent your party to hell with everyone else.

 

--------------------------------------

 

This amazing planet we share! Please do give special care to all our precious animals, plants and human family who all wish to live on earth in peace, love, harmony and joy. Region shall yourself and express your fiery passion which truly represents we the people.

Please!

Is your calling and your destiny to create a positive change we all desperately need to free our hearts and souls.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Please consider change that will benefit the majority of the population and not just privileged few. Are you motivated by money? Do you really want to be?

Thank you for your hard work.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Everything is perspective.

Society constructs the illusion of power.

Closed minds are the sign of the doomed culture.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Be for the people. Educate us.  Tell us what's up. Let us understand and decide. Then represent us.

 

--------------------------------------

 

I know you won't read this...

but if you should...

stop thinking money. Love us. Take care of us. We are awesome!

 

--------------------------------------

 

Please stop voting for special interests. Vote for the public good. Support the people, not commercial interests. We have become consumers instead of citizens. Teach civics in school.

Education = democracy.

Ignorance = corrupt leaders.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Hey decision-maker,

What if you did what was best for humanity instead of what's best for your local conflict of interest?

Try it.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Dear elected federal employee:

Please remember that you did not represent yourself or your constituents, but also our descendents.

Signed, Concerned Citizen -- BM '08

 

--------------------------------------

 

Keep trying.

Make it work.

Do good.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Why as a country do we have children with very little education and people starving every day.

If we are to have a future we need to make a change.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Please Put Your Own garbled aside and focus on the future of our children.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Dear Mr./Mrs. Senator and Representatives,

Economy fills the pockets of the rich and takes it from the poor. I understand economics and I really think your democracy has major flaws. Please see everyone and live by the basics.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Dear government,

Act heroically: Do what is right because it is right and it's what the people want, not because it's hard or because you are being sponsored.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Dear employee of the US people,

Please do not take bribes or become involved in financial entanglements between yourself and corporate entities.

Any violators of these simple guidelines will be rooted out and impeached.

We're on to you!

Have a nice day!

 

--------------------------------------

 

God, your higher power, but you -- where you are, and can take you away to.

Thank you.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Please stop voting for legislation that exploits people and natural resources. You’re not fooling anyone. And for that will love! Please stop subsidizing big agri-business. It's just wrong and you know it.

Seriously y'all.

Really!

PS -- You smell like old <insert own noun>.

 

--------------------------------------

 

In the same fashion that charity and magnanimity revealed the true character of a people, so do a relapse of moral does deserve and a submission to fear demonstrate this failure of those same garbled.

Be this garbled you pretend to be and leave this childhood of democracy.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Be honest.

Make choices in favor of the most people not the richest.

Do the right thing.

 

--------------------------------------

 

To my elected representatives,

Please use your best judgment to lift the United States of America to its place in the world that its founders worked so hard to create and preserve with our amazing "Constitution".

You have the power to make the country and world a better place.

 

--------------------------------------

 

We are simple beings with the potential for greatness. Help us take care of our simple needs so that we may bring greatness to our neighborhoods, communities, and world.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Open your eyes to the changing country. We can't be afraid of every change that comes. The country came from change and migration of people. People who are screaming, yelling, and protesting for the laws to adapt the world around us. The country is yearning to become liberal, let it.

Don't be afraid.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Let me do what I want. If we were raised to be good, we are good and will do what needs to be done, love who needs to be loved, and fight that which needs fighting.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Can we please clean house before aggressively visiting other lands and cultures.

The "American dream" begins with focusing on America.

Seems simple yet we lost sight, especially in these times.

Now find the closest mirror.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Don't let us down.

You can make this country amazing!

Do that!

 

--------------------------------------

 

Dear leaders of this country that I love very much.

I just want you to know that the majority of the people in the US, and the entire world, are struggling to survive in a land that has been mismanaged and ravaged. But together we hold the knowledge and ability to create a more sustainable and more fair world. But involves a system that is engaging the whole and working for the people instead of the few who have used an unsustainable system to acquire control of the world resources and then use them wastefully.

 

--------------------------------------

 

As a citizen of the country we entrusted you to govern over the past eight years. I'm extremely disgusted in your performance and the state you have permitted this country to fall to. We need change now!

 

--------------------------------------

 

We still have great potential.

Invest in the future (environment, children and the furthest from the least, peace) and create your legend as the next generation of this country's liberators.

(I implore you on behalf of our grandchildren, yours and mine)

 

--------------------------------------

 

Remember, above and beyond all else your job is to protect the freedom and liberty of all citizens of this country, without partisan politics or individual preferences getting in the way! Democracy, if it is to be that, cannot be enforced, it must by definition be freely chosen.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Dear US government --

Every year for one week, week 50,000 or so members of the Burning Man community managed to coexist in a community of love, support, non-judgment, and actual freedom of speech and expression.

We do this all without any elected leaders and there is virtually no crime, war, or conflict.

Imagine if all 545 members of our government work together to re-instill these values and concepts, accepting nothing less. Put faith back in the people who elected you.

 

--------------------------------------

 

To the White House, Senate, Congress et al.

Sirs and Madams: After spending nearly 2 years in Mexico I have found that my freedoms and practice outside my own country exceed those within. I was a machinist for more than 20 years and have participated in society to the best of my ability with little satisfaction. I've begun the search for a life that contains the care, fellowship and value for the common man that is so lacking in our modern society. In only seven years: my livelihood, my ability to conduct my life as I see fit, my freedoms have degraded so, that I have looked elsewhere. These thoughts are echoed by many. Today's nation is not the nation I once loved. My heart is sick to its core with this reality. Stop fighting and fix it.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Your commitment to the populace which is giving you this opportunity to serve will be your legacy. Special interest and lobbies may make you wealthy, but squander your name and honor. Have the courage to use your voice nobly, with the needs of your most vulnerable weighed equally to the financially boisterous.

Love, peace, community

 

--------------------------------------

 

Dear employees,

You need not fear peace. You need not fear here. You need only fear your own consequences. Change is inevitable. Allow it to happen for the better. There are so many solutions and opportunities to heal ourselves and our home. Look inside yourself.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Please pull back control from the military-industrial complex...

Start running the country for its people and for all the peoples of our world.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Do the right thing, the thing that allows you to sleep at night. The thing that creates peace within you, and makes you work harder for it and the other thing.

Peace to the Max

 

--------------------------------------

 

I believe in my country but I lost belief in my government along time ago. This country was founded by revolutionaries on amazing principles. The rampant self-interest motivators and corruption have begun to negate all of that.

Stand up! Find your soul. Do what's actually right for this country and it's people!

 

--------------------------------------

 

I fear minus the last generation with any hope -- and what hope we have is crippled, buried: twisted and cynicism: apathy. We hope, but do not believe.

Through hope we elected you. Now it is your job to help us believe.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Please read the Constitution.

Please reread the Bill of Rights.

Why are freedoms disappearing ?

Is your job to uphold our rights?

Do better.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Please do not allow our Constitution to crumble in the face of greed. Please don't allow greed to destroy our environment. You have the vantage point to make these changes real. Much damage has been done in our names and we no longer feel we have the power for real change. Only you do. Learn from the experiences of those you represent.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Remember your actions with respect to human needs will affect the world citizens for millennium. Use the energy provided to you naturally.

 

--------------------------------------

 

God loves all the people. Please find it in your hearts to represent the greater good not the needs of a few souls.

Thank you.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Stop the corruption.

Stop the "special favors".

No more "good old boys" club.

Get back to the business of caring for the people and land you represent.

Make us proud of you again and we will give you the respect you deserve.

Make us believe in the American dream we all want.

 

--------------------------------------

 

All I want is a peaceful environment that respects the earth as source of all that sustains us. I want my great great grandchildren to breathe air that is cleaner that the president. I want them to eat real food and have no need of big business medicine.

Well when you leave behind for your great-great-grandchildren?

 

--------------------------------------

 

Here's the thing:

People don't have to kill, extort, cheat, pillage and harm in any way to be "Number One". Let our nation continue to be the world leader -- let us show the world how to do it through kindness and sustainability.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Hey you guys,

Would you please quit trying to just make money and harness the self-support way of life we are capable of release the energy creativity and garbled energy source.

 

--------------------------------------

 

If a popular (totally legal: see Bill of Rights) revolution runs against your interests, your interest go against the people.

Unfortunately, such a revolution runs counter to all our interests, as it is an act of senseless violence.

Don't make us do it. This is not a threat.

Love?

 

--------------------------------------

 

Please be more aware of how the world perceives you. It affects your economy and safety and values.

-- from a Canadian

 

--------------------------------------

 

I really do believe we can all do this together. You and me, we might share a different perspective in the end I really do believe that we're just trying to get to the same thing. We just want good. What is good for me were good for the world might not be good for your friends or even my mom, but we all want to live free and to not be scared. Let's learn to live together and work together we don't have to fight! We don't have to be scared.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Do what is best for your country not your party.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Dear elected officials,

Please remember you represent the people of this country not the businesses of the people. Please please remember the citizen not the super citizen. We are people not businesses.

Thank you,

 

--------------------------------------

 

I'm afraid.

This great nation of corporate interests; praise to big brother and marches into worldwide violence. The government has long since traded their eyes and hearts for greed and lies as we move closer and closer to a fascist America.

Help us or wait for us to start a new.

 

--------------------------------------

 

There are 545 of you. How many still have their souls? Remember you represent the people not the corporation.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Always remember that it is the responsibility and inherent purpose of the government to serve its citizens not vice versa.

If you fail we will notice and rise against..

 

--------------------------------------

 

The last thing the government did was create the interstate system of highways across the country and that was over 50 years ago! Let's see some positive changes in America like that one!

 

--------------------------------------

 

This country has never achieved democracy. You think you could work on it?

 

--------------------------------------

 

I am not satisfied with your current performance -- bear in mind that we the people means all the people, rich and poor. Stop acting as if you represent only the top .0001 percentile and work for us all.

Love,

 

--------------------------------------

 

I know it's hard, choosing between what you know is right or works in our system. Listen to your heart. Listen to that still voice inside. While it may not pay off now, only true actions, pure actions, move us forward.

 

--------------------------------------

 

As we enter the new election, please keep our best interests in mind. Please. Don't work for short-term short garbled, but long-term solutions.

Thank you.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Congratulations! You made it.

I admire you. I encourage my children look up to you.

Can't you try to remember the family that loved and supported you?

Don't you see everyone deserves that?

Only greed and complacency stand between you and your ability to improve so many lives.

Deceive your greatness and engage to get a good life to everyone.

 

--------------------------------------

 

We are ready for change but you are not. Harness the momentum of new ways of transport, energy, water conservation, efficient land use. Give us a chance to be who we are. You will be proud.

 

--------------------------------------

 

You do not represent yourself! You work for me! Remove head from anus and live like we all do and struggle and open your eyes -- you took this job because it's easy for you!

What about us!!

 

--------------------------------------

 

The public (not corporations) we are nothing as a country. Be proud of what you do and represent us all.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Make love not war! We have the power to change the world and influence it with American-style! Do something positive with your political power! Change what is wrong because you cannot because you're paid.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Your government and party politics are representative of the will of the people.

Be responsive or be replaced!

 

--------------------------------------

 

Please stop looking out for special interest groups. Enough is enough -- if you want to live in America to adopt our ways and support our economy.

 

--------------------------------------

 

I don't know in what legitimate way anything I write here can be applicable, but there needs to be breathing room within a system -- any system. The ability to breed and spread your arms very wide as necessary -- as a break from the nonstop pace of our (this) country.

Only when we briefed you fear be broken. I realize this system can function only with order, but flexibility must be maintained.

I still fear, but am letting go, bit by bit. No God can do that, but it can facilitate it

 

--------------------------------------

 

Dear government,

I love my country because my family lives here. But this is not a place I will raise my children. I will be annexed patriot. America is running away from its people. Please don't destroy us.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Karma is real.

What you decide affects us all.

Two more surveys get our answers.

 

--------------------------------------

 

You to go to uphold and follow the US Constitution and our Bill of Rights not to serve lobbyists and corporations.

Please live up to your own.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Please remember the original intent of our Constitution. Look into your hearts and God for guidance and hope that you can sleep at night! We are entrusting you.

 

--------------------------------------

 

I'm tired of hearing about government representatives who can't keep their @x*! In their pants. Why can't you just do the best job you can. Stop making headlines for stupid ship and make headlines for something wonderful. Wouldn't that be better? You're not only screwing every intern you can, but your raping every single American. Stop listening to the lobbyists and your Johnson and listen to honest Americans.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Can you, please, put your sacred obligation to serve our people and preserve our greatest gift: freedom.

Do this first by stopping the deficit spending.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Please. Don't be so greedy. Please. Give life, not death.

 

--------------------------------------

 

While the American dream may now be thought of in terms of economic ascendance, it was once and should again be, about justice, equality, and liberty.

 

--------------------------------------

 

The great compromise turned into a win-win. Please keep this principle in your mind when encountering difficulties. But the people (all of us) first.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Please open your hearts and see each and every person as your close relative. That way, we can all get along and be in peace and harmony.

Thank you.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Wake-up! Remember your obligation to the people.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Follow it! Dig it!

This war is a scam to control key positions at the end of the age of oil!

Please.

All I ask is that you try it for one second not think about everything that you "are". American, white, Chinese, black, well-off, depressed, satisfied, etc. All these ideas, or if Fox that we identify with, are relevant when you make a choice about what is right or wrong. When you follow your intuition. When you just know that something is changing and becoming terribly wrong with the system you work for, or with. Every day more people are realizing the disgusting path this country is on. What's wrong with this feeling, this picture, this administration.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Corporations are destroying our planet. We the people, we the consumers, are leading a happen. You are the regulators and the only defense we have. Please start representing our interests. Our planet!

 

--------------------------------------

 

Please vote for socially conscious measures rather than those of a destructive nature.

Thanks,

 

--------------------------------------

 

Inspire us to be more caring of our planet, our people, the people of other nations by stepping up and doing more than just collecting a check.

 

--------------------------------------

 

All decisions of the people should be made with seven generations in mind as those who call this land home before we called America. The decision process, therefore will take a long time, possibly generations. Decisions should be made hastily, however to halt further destruction caused by past decisions made in haste.

 

--------------------------------------

 

America seems to have the bad habit of putting Band-Aids on gaping wounds.

This become a country of preventative policy, instead of disaster recovery policy.

For example, if we had built up a truly secure levee system around New Orleans, there would have been minimal flooding and billions of dollars saved. Build that system now so we don't repeat Katrina.

 

--------------------------------------

 

How have you helped the average person today. Is this really going to make that blue-collar workers day easier or help your retirement.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Every selfless decision a politician makes, will and does affect the people you represent.

Now go and do the right thing.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Listen...

Can you hear us!?

 

--------------------------------------

 

Please restore our faith in you.

Good luck.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Please remember that you should put the best interest of our country ahead of the interests of your family, friends and yourself.

 

--------------------------------------

 

More than anything I want you to do what you think is the right thing to do... without backing off just because you think it can't get through with the current system. You are the system. So it's only by being brave and trying to do what you think the system won't let you will the rules of the game change.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Please allow us, the people, to be free to choose our own happiness. Do not send this to prison for taking plants that grow on God's own earth.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Half the people elected you... not the corporations... not the special interests... not PAC money...

do what's best for the average guy... regular people... those others have more than enough money...

Be more frugal!

 

--------------------------------------

 

Please think beyond your district and the next election! Ask yourself: "What would George Washington or Thomas Jefferson or Ben Franklin or John Adams do?"

 

--------------------------------------

 

Liberty and freedom in this great country was founded on the courage of a few men who decided to stand against tyranny. This same liberty and freedom was won on the bodies of free men who chose to die for this idea.

Please always remember this every single time you make a decision that affects this country and its people as well as all the people of the world.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Go back to the beginning.

We are distorted and confused. Keeping people comfortable is a tricky way of controlling us. We will go back to the beginning, easy or hard up to us.

 

--------------------------------------

 

For the good of our nation, our elected officials need to be vigilant in curbing the power of big business and special interest groups alike. As long as those with the most money and power can influence the will of our leaders the people of our nation will never truly be free.

I implore you, please as a citizen of this great nation, to always make political decisions based on what you truly believe to be good and just. Please always try to see the other side even if it does not speak with the most money.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Please can we care for all and first.

Hold NASA off till our seniors, children and differently enabled are fed and cared for.

Burning Man is an example of healing the planet.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Asked our opinion in meaning.

Encourage us to seek integrity and mean it.

Search for your own highest values and live them. Be a role model. Do what you know is right. Share and teach sharing.

Realize that our consumerism is killing the country. We can be great and help others be great.

Look at your life -- how you grew.

Look at your children and help lead them a better world.

Cooperate -- stop the competition!!

 

--------------------------------------

 

We need to give all people the right to have what they need in order to survive! This power should not lie in the hands of the elite. Disbursed equally all people will be rich!

With love!

We are never done!

 

--------------------------------------

 

What are you thinking, really?

Then it's best to conform to what already seems to be the norm? That things by hitting "your" home are lope rarities to concern yourself with? You are elected to represent.

Represent already!

 

--------------------------------------

 

I'm fiscally moderate and socially liberal yet I am not God-fearing man. It is frustrating that my opinions are rarely represented by any governing officials. A weird Republican conservative agenda has hijacked my faith and claimed it for their home. And the Democratic Party just doesn't get faith at all. There is a moral right and wrong as well as good and evil in the world.

God loves freedom of expression, individual liberty, independence. Focus on keeping our infrastructure in place and leave moral issues to the lowest level authority possible:

individual tube neighborhood to community to County to stay to federal (last resort!)

 

--------------------------------------

 

Please give us some straight talk. No spin. It might sound harsh but we will appreciate it and you will benefit in popularity. No doubt.

 

--------------------------------------

 

I want a peaceful society and world. I want our government to be non-confrontational. Your rhetoric about being the most powerful nation in the world is meaningless unless love, understanding and acceptance of other nations is built into your attitude and policy.

 

--------------------------------------

 

It's not the role of government, even a democratically elected government, to cater to every whim of the people. The elected officials have a specific job to do and should not overstep their boundaries.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Please don't lie to us...

Please make the best choice for all of us.

Remember we voted you in we can vote you out.

Represent all of us not just your own constituency.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Please take a minute to breathe. Think about what this country was founded on. Please follow the Constitution. Love your neighbor. The earth is an organism just like we are. Take care of it. Once is destroyed we cannot get it back.

Peace!

 

--------------------------------------

 

Please remember to respect your constituents as you would yourself. The government helps us accomplish jointly that which we cannot accomplish single he but it does not exist to legislate morality and limit garbled do no harm.

And may not approve of your or others' lives, but I respect your rights to live them.

Please respect others as you would yourself.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Do what's right for the poor and lower class. Don't be bought by corporate America.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Don't let your ego keep you from doing for us what you would do for your own family.

You work for us, not the special interest groups who give you money to do what THEY wants. And integrity to do the right thing for all of us.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Stop bickering and get to work. We need you to build our future rather than fight yesterdays wars. You have it in you -- show us.

The people.

 

--------------------------------------

 

If you make government work more efficiently you won't need to cut digits or raise taxes. Look at implementing constraints and silly rules/restrictions.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Quit being God.

Be more godlike.

Work for peace.

You lost the American people in your party bickering.

Work for peace!

 

--------------------------------------

 

Now begin to listen to your conscience. You are elected to carry on...

 

--------------------------------------

 

Wowing courage and other countries to embrace liberty, freedom and justice is and should be in Portland, shouldn't we lead by example of how all our citizens are treated, respected by our laws and ideals, and allowed the rights of freedoms stated in our Constitution?

Inmates should have more rights and guarantees that law-abiding citizens!

 

--------------------------------------

 

Quit taking the easy way. Make the hard decisions. Put people before your reelection area

 

--------------------------------------

 

The future of our nation depends on you executing your duties with an eye to doing the right thing for the nation and those you represent.

Compromise, civility and the will to a conference the work of the people must trump petty politics, party agendas and personal profit.

You are an important part of our democracy, but neither you nor anyone of us on it. It belongs to all of us.

 

--------------------------------------

 

We need the government to focus more on helping people rather than on intruding into the innocuous things they do. Less censorship more stewardship.

 

--------------------------------------

 

We are willing to give up security for liberty. That's true all the way from shoe removal in airports to the FISA act. We should be able to travel to other countries and marvel at how much behavioral latitude we are enjoying in the US. -- and today the experience is entirely the opposite. Bring back the American idea. That idea is what has kept us safe time and time again.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Work for what is in the public interest, not what is in someone's special interest. The role of government is to mediate all the conflicting interests in the country to decide and act on what is in the public's interest.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Please stop making the priorities of large corporations more important than those of your constituents! We don't want to have to move to Canada.

 

--------------------------------------

 

I believe you are earnest and mean well. I also believe that corporate interests and their money and its influence have overshadowed and overtaken your earnest intentions, however well-meaning. As a result of the influence, I see that this country's days as the leader of the free world and the shining a light on the hill to the rest of the world are numbered. Our influence abroad will be diminished, and our standard of living reduced. From the outsiders view, perhaps that is just as well. But as an American, I think we can do so much better. But first we must take special interests money out of our election process. Please work toward that end.

 

--------------------------------------

 

We must all work in unity.

We must have politicians who understand the real problem is not their income but ours.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Why is it so important to stick to a party? Why not stick to good ideas? I am not a Democrat or Republican, IME, with my morals. I like ideas. I don't like stereotypical groups of people who represent yes or no. What about a better good!

 

--------------------------------------

 

My representatives,

As a US citizen and has traveled the globe in educational pursuit, I ask that you please reevaluate our foreign policy stance in order to garner more respect internationally. It saddens me when I have to argue for the virtues of the people of the country to every foreigner with whom I come into contact. Please make decisions with diligent integrity and not with partisan initiative.

-- Citizen.

 

--------------------------------------

 

What one man hopes for the world cannot be done.

What one man hopes for himself is easily done.

What we as a whole for the world is not obvious.

What we as a whole hope for everyone man, woman, and child is obvious and easily accomplished.

 

--------------------------------------

 

For every change we make -- don't pass the buck. Some of the best policies that contributed to nation were based on honest mistakes!

We have to consider dramatic change that will invariably mean making mistakes in getting there. Be able to admit the mistake and correct to get the correct change -- Stop Passing the Buck and Making Excuses!!

 

--------------------------------------

 

We need people with the courage to restore our Constitution and Bill of Rights -- from the president on down through all levels of federal employees.

 

--------------------------------------

 

lead through peace and compassion.

Consider deeply, carefully and thoroughly the impacts, both short and long-term, of violence. Both peace and violence leave long-standing legacies. What will our legacy be? Let it be peace and wisdom. What will America's legacy be? Let it be compassion and the high road. Please lead through compassion. Let us be peaceful.

 

--------------------------------------

 

It's hard to begin to tell you all the way I feel that this is an attempt. The barriers and perceived enemies of the state embrace ideals that caused a revolution. We will win from the inside out, melt the cold core and abandon the hurtful ways that in turn hurt ourselves and loved ones. We unite without expectation but respectfully allowing each and every being unlimited power and ability.

 

--------------------------------------

 

"In this great future you cannot forget your past" -- Bob Marley

Don't forget where you come from and that each of us "citizens" of the US are real and living here by choice and we need you to keep our country habitable. Think about the common man and how hard he works, just to make ends meet and ask yourself each day how can I help him?

 

--------------------------------------

 

American Indians, the first people on this land, had the wisdom and courage to formulate policy looking seven generations ahead. I wish the same for you with love for my great great great great great grandchildren and yours.

 

--------------------------------------

 

To whom it may concern,

please lead our country, and this world with smart, rational, progressive policies that help to fix problems and make our world a better place.

Sincerely,

 

--------------------------------------

 

Remember that we are free people! Instead of placing more limitations and restrictions, let's open up and embrace all. So that way we can truly call ourselves the land of the free.

Much love,

Them day burner of 2008 (so far) -- it's only Thursday.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Please remember that it is your job to represent all the people of your jurisdiction -- women, children, gays, minorities, the elderly and poverty-stricken -- not just those who paid to get you elected.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Love as much as you can from wherever you are.

Towards peace on earth!

Please convert weaponry to garble a la Buckminster Fuller.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Tell the truth.

Act civilly in disagreement.

Support your nation, not your party.

 

--------------------------------------

 

There are aspects of representative democracy which are relics from a time when direct democracy wasn't feasible due to a lack of communications technology. These should be revisited.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Rider bills. I find it appalling that bills are still being distorted and manipulated by adding riders which have nothing to do with the laws being represented. No more riders.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Dear government,

Please protect the social services. If the government doesn't serve the people, what is it for? Social welfare helps those who needed them most, without it many productive citizens would not be where they are today.

 

--------------------------------------

 

This country was created because of the need for freedom.

Why are our rights to our freedoms slowly being taken away?

If our country is fighting for freedom, then you should be helping to fix the damage in this country.

I should be able to protest what ever I choose according to the Constitution.

I used to be proud to be an American despite our speckled past, but now it's not something I'm proud of it all.

 

Mixed Topics

 

Change needed in Washington:

1. 2 term limit for all elected officials.

2. End access to lobbyists -- no campaign funding and disallow money for favors.

3. Federal budget must be balanced.

4. Each law must be in plain English and single issue only -- no add-ons.

5. Each law proposed and votes cast should be required to be publicized.

6. No new programs and departments without garble source to pay for it.

7. Revamp the entire tax code -- flat tax or VAT.

8. National healthcare system -- like Medicare.

9. End all electronic voting.

10. Voter registration in person with proper documentation.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Get my country back.

Justice for all.

One man one vote. No electoral system.

VP to be the second runner-up of the victorious party, not picked by the nominee.

No police state or kidnapping of people by the government.

More public TV radio and newspapers. Take corporate ads on public TV.

 

--------------------------------------

 

            there are three things you must understand and work as hard as you can to manage. These are planetary crisis of a kind we have probably never before faced -- the threat posed by global warming; the dwindling supply of petroleum and our dependence on it; and the nuclear arsenal of the nations of the world.

Anything else you do or think is important, pales pales into insignificance because if these problems are not managed, the rest will not matter

.

--------------------------------------

 

For those of you left uncorrupted by special interests, corporate, lobbyists, groups and their sanctioned offerings, thank you. For those that have lost their integrity ideals to the game of politics which is corrupted by its very set up, please, if there is an America left in you please do the job we hire you to do and work for election reform in the forms of campaign spending limits, financing from PACs, etc., limitations and abolishing the electoral College. Also fight for free media access for all candidates and for Christ's sake allow the other party candidates to be included in the debates. Without these basic changes you will remain out of touch with your constituents. I recognize that as a citizen is my right and my responsibility to vote and hold you accountable to your job and those you serve. I'm doing my part (this isn't the first time you've heard from me) please do yours or have the integrity to step down.

Thank you,

PS oh yeah and please, no more taxation without representation!

 

--------------------------------------

 

The US government:

-- stop killing.

-- Develop a comprehensive high-speed train network nationwide.

-- Abolish the electoral College.

-- Legalize marijuana.

-- cat decriminalize all drugs.

-- Release all drug charge only prisoners.

-- Support the withdrawal of Israel from the Sinai.

-- Support the reunification of Ireland.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Let's wake up and smell the roses. No more war and no more controlling our garble it by making the public feel wrong about pro-choice and living our lives as we want.

 

--------------------------------------

 

All I'm saying is that if we are truly concerned about being "green", as a country, then cannabis should be instantly read legalized in order to capitalize on the number one best, most renewable energy source on the planet!!!

In 1937 cannabis was made illegal.

In 1937 the DuPont Corporation invented and patented nylon.

Hemp was the best rope for 500+ years and was only made illegal to corner the market. Nylon is a petroleum byproduct, and until we replace it with cannabis, we will always be dependent on oil, and wars, foreign oil.

 

--------------------------------------

 

This is a great country, but it could be even greater. Let us be fair and humanitarian, instead of bullying behavior that the rest of the world sees. Do we really need such a large military budget? Do we really need to "win this war" -- please define winning. Do we need corporate welfare? Do we need companies to relocate offshore so they don't have to pay taxes? How American is that?

I love this country, the beautiful abundant land. Let us be kind to one another, and tolerate and admire our differences. This fund education, health and infrastructure. Let us be good and kind to one another. Then won't the entire world admire us and want to be like us. Let's set a good example. What went wrong?

 

--------------------------------------

 

Stop the war!!!

Help the poor.

Support education.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Stop spending the money we give you to run things for us on war and destruction. I would gladly pay more in taxes if you use it to take care of the people here -- education, health care, mass transportation and energy sources that do not depend on oil or nuclear fission.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Think of the American people in our country. Help the poor, the children, the seniors. Healthcare. Before helping other countries. Border patrol.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Dear ___________,

Short-term views and greed have gotten us to the brink of a true depression. Please take a longer view. Stop spending so much on the military and take care of our internal issues. For example: energy conservation not business as usual, more money to the national parks, a stronger educational system or programs that support equality for all -- a leader could change our course, even now.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Please decriminalize marijuana.

A. our teachers more money. Create competitive positions that will attract better teachers and make our kids smarter. It's our future.

Ever war spending to education.

Thank you!!

 

--------------------------------------

 

Forget about war.

Forget about religion.

Forget about garbled.

Forget about garbled.

Just get on.

That's all we want.

 

--------------------------------------

 

-- one citizens "influence" should be as great as that of a high-priced corporate lobbyist.

-- government should protect citizens from corporate malfeasance.

-- government should protect the environment from those of us who would destroy in the name of profit.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Stop the war.

Realize that other countries can also get it right.

Lead Canada's and other countries resources alone.

Take care of those in the need.

Stop being simply representatives of the rich.

 

--------------------------------------

 

I believe George Bush has been the root of most of the evil prevailing in America today. I am sick of this war, and of corporations having all the power. I can only hope that the new politicians that come along in this next election change the way things are being done and give us back the freedoms the constitution was put into place to ensure.

And I hope the Bush crime family is punished for the Danish shit they have committed.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Listen to Ron Paul. He is right. The media should be punished for not broadcasting the facts and afford nor in Ron Paul. There should be more than two parties -- please allow it.

Stop selling your souls to corporations and do what is right; not just for you but for everyone. Stop spending money we do not have them printing more out of thin air without backing.

No more war.

India has the largest military has never invaded anyone.

No more deals. Keep our soldiers home.

Stay out of other countries governments.

At the very least detector Constitution -- is your job. Most of you have done your job poorly. Leave the legacy of integrity.

 

--------------------------------------

 

-- no more Bush.

-- listen more to every man.

-- lower gas prices.

-- stop the war.

-- don't get involved in war if you don't have to.

-- save lives.

-- lower taxes.

-- more funding for arts and schools.

-- make healthcare a benefit of being American like in Europe.

-- stop obesity.

-- stop trying to go to space when we have major problems at home.

 

--------------------------------------

 

1. Go ahead, please, and return our dollar to the gold standard. Do what it takes.

2. Limit defense spending to defense.

3. Eliminate Homeland security.

4. Carry on friendly relations with other countries.

 

--------------------------------------

 

I wonder why there are too many wars being fought for our democracy and not enough money for a free healthcare system -- for the hungry and homeless in our nation?

I wonder why globalization is the root of all evil with money as 16.

I wonder if "we the people will ever truly ever be free independent".

When will we end of the human war?

When will I be free, with when will I be free? When will you? For your desire to be free and independent is the American dream.

Equality for all of us. Black white red gay straight Afro etc. etc.

 

--------------------------------------

 

We the people of the United States when our tax money spent on healthcare, education, housing and food for all... Not war or tax breaks for the already wealthy.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Please open your hearts.

Please demand green energy.

Please remove us from Iraq and leave Iran alone.

Please repeal the Patriot Act.

Please end the war on terror so that we can have our privacy back.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Please fund more social and education programs.

Less military -- industrial spending.

No more porkbarrel spending!!!

Thank you.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Remember:

1. Separation of church and state.

2. Does the art as fortunate as you.

3. Wealth won't do you much good when you're 6 feet under.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Here are a few ideas:

-- a reality TV show for the best federal employee they can show their talent onstage -- "Fed Act It".

-- try to understand that none of us really know what divine and/or spiritual force there is if there is one. The only thing we do know is that we are all here for some reason and our duty and moral responsibility is to humanity.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Changes needed in Washington:

 

1. Illuminate the Patriot Act and all legislation put through by the Bush administration in that does not pass the constitutional test.

2. All new laws must conform with the Constitution or they can't be offered.

3. We the people may need to take our government back -- elected officials have failed we the people and compromised our Constitution and Bill of Rights

Boston tea party anyone?

 

--------------------------------------

 

Pro-choice.

Pro-life.

Antiwar.

Pro Burning Man.

Pro-joy.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Fund renewable energy and poor college students not war.

(Get a f**king clue dude)

 

--------------------------------------

 

No more war!

Health care is a basic human right out of place for profit. No one should have to go bankrupt when ill.

 

--------------------------------------

 

-- We need to end the Federal Reserve and give the power back to the people.

-- Ended to radical control any media, stop feeding garbage to the minds of our fellow species.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Double the pay for all of Congress.

Lemonade all lobbying. No freebies and no pork or earmarks.

You people need term limits. Jail for anyone who violates the above.

 

--------------------------------------

 

We need to value our natural resources and encourage sustainability.

Education must be supported to keep the American workforce competitive with the world.

Freedom must be protected especially liberty and personal freedom of citizens.

Help us realize the dream of beautiful world.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Keep religion out of our government.

Leave Iraq, bring our people home.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Police:

-- End the policy of torture and kidnapping, and the maintenance of international gulags.

-- End government spying without due cause.

-- hold criminals and George W. administration accountable for their deception and attacks upon our dignity, freedom and security -- if not through impeachment, through criminal prosecution

 

--------------------------------------

 

Please try George Bush for war crimes.

Limit executive branch's power to make war.

Prepare an official apology to the people of Iraq and Afghanistan.

Go! Obama! 08

Shift petrol focus to economy to alternative energy.

Thank you, have a nice day

 

--------------------------------------

 

Please remember what is important.

You made promises to your employees.

We will have to fire you.

1 -- take care of the children

2 -- take care of the elderly.

3 -- help create opportunities for the poor instead of enabling.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Get in touch! Do you have health care? Do you have a child at war? Have them educated?

 

--------------------------------------

 

The Afghan invasion was justified and supported by most of the world. The reasons for the Iraq invasion were deceptive and false. Most of the world was against us.

And the war, and prosecute those who fabricated evidence used to justify.

Also cancel health care coverage for all of Congress until a system of coverage for all citizens is put into place.

 

--------------------------------------

 

A few thoughts...

1 -- Rebuild America through a strong green economy; we need our youth to have a future (and planet) to believe in.

2 -- Reconsider all financial systems. More is not better! Equality between profit, people and the planet is needed.

3 -- Energy independence on renewable resources must happen today!

 

--------------------------------------

 

Dignified representatives:

I write these words to impart three possibilities to better and maintain the dignity of our great country. Please be aware of the current trend of cultural homogenization through corporate monopoly. Please take the cues of Theodore Roosevelt and curtail monopolization and ensure small business; within whose doors innovations have been born and communities have gathered, are allowed to succeed. Be diligent in supporting the less fortunate, do not allow costs to hurt these people; the homeless, battered women... a future Einstein could be among them. Do not allow a woman's right to choose be taken away.

Thank you,

Sincerely,

 

--------------------------------------

 

Speak softly and carry a big stick -- accomplished all we know. But what good is a bully.

Speak eloquently -- more/better education.

Compassion -- national healthcare should be an inalienable right.

Our leaders seem to be bought and sold if not shot and ousted.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Increased tax on the superrich.

Decriminalize marijuana.

Take down the border fences -- make legal immigration possible for people who want to work here.

I think you understand what I want.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Piece brings more rewards than war ever could.

Love over money.

Power handled with caution always looking at its effects.

Nationhood a comfort, not an ideology.

The world does not belong to men and women that we belong to each other.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Dear representatives,

We need to change a few things about the US democratic system.

-- Electoral College needs to be abolished.

-- Two-party system must be opened to either a "parliamentary" system with mixed member of proportional (MMP system -- see New Zealand), or an STD (semi-trans terrible boat) system.

-- we need universal unprivatized healthcare system (like the UK or New Zealand or any other "first world" country)!

Love,

 

--------------------------------------

 

I expect y'all to listen to Al Gore and do what it takes to make the plant whole again.

Don't make healthcare mandatory. I can take care of my own health -- or include a reward for being healthy.

Fix our school system. Mandate smaller teacher to pupil ratio. Ask any teacher and I'll tell you that!

Pass the law/bill that gives visual artists the ability to duck fair market value for donation of artwork.

Do your job for love or do something else

Smile.

Laugh.

Enjoy.

 

--------------------------------------

 

California needs public transit. We are poisoning the world!

 

--------------------------------------

 

-- America on her noble non-carbon-based energy sources in 10 years.

-- If the amount of money being spent on the war each day was the lighted up and given to us citizens there would be no poverty.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Stop catering to corporations and legislate to improve the lives of the poor and the middle class.

Stop the war. Bring our troops home now!

 

--------------------------------------

 

-- Campaign salary caps.

-- Privatize auditing agencies (IRS, immigration) not service agencies (health, USPS)

 

--------------------------------------

 

Do not redistribute wealth. Our country did not become great by much of our population being taken care of.

English only for language.

Close the borders.

Maintain opportunities for people to achieve the American dream.

Less government.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Dear elected official,

I am terribly concerned about several issues.

First I am afraid that our election system must be reformed. I do not trust the machines.

Second, I hope that one day in the near future we will be spending more money on education and less on bombs.

Third, the world is very influenced by us. Let us lead the way to environmental living.

Thanks for your time,

 

--------------------------------------

 

Where'd it go so wrong? America the melting pot where dreams can come true! I ask again where did it go!

Today take care of the poor...

Redistribute wealth...

No hard work garbled...

Work to have...

Don't just take...

Learn the language.

Start over!

 

--------------------------------------

 

To our government,

Police come to your senses and start doing the right things for your country, for your people and for the world. And if you can't we (the people are here to help). There is only one God (love) who respects everyone and everything. You can do it! We all come from the same place we are all going to the same place.

Thank you.

 

--------------------------------------

 

"There is nothing to fear but fear itself"

our media, purchased by the corporations, is pumping is full of fear. It is only because the corporations (and the government) are in fear themselves.

I tell you there is enough for all. We can have abundance and joy without manipulation and cruelty.

I hope someday our leaders make choices from this viewpoint.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Not all of us who enjoy the freedom of Burning Man are on the left. Some of us understand the need for responsibility. Just as some understand the need for freedom.

 

The War

 

It's not too late to get this country back on track.

Throw the warmongers out!

 

--------------------------------------

 

Get us out of Iraq.

We need hope and wisdom.

Obama -- don't get killed or lose. We need a change. We are desperate for leadership that knows and honors the Constitution.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Get out of Iraq now!!

 

--------------------------------------

 

Our lives are too short for all this. Don't just end "the war". End all wars end all suffering it truly is in our power (which means you are elected officials)

Signed, US Army veteran.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Every successful major endeavor waged by a movement has been nonviolent -- Gandhi, King, Jesus, Linda, etc.

Why do we think force works? Caring for your fellow humans works.

 

--------------------------------------

 

This planet is way too small for us to be fighting.

I implore you, beg you, demand you find peaceful resolutions.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Dear Sir or Mdm. --

please stop the war in Iraq and send my brother Chad home. I miss him and my father can't take much more. His brother, a Vietnam vet, took his own life after losing the battle with PTSD.

Thanks,

 

--------------------------------------

 

Peace

 

--------------------------------------

 

Pakistan, Pakistan, Pakistan.

Looking forward to 10 years events in that nuclear armed country may affect our safety and security.

Keep the focus on.

It's no longer just about Iraq.

It's about Pakistan.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Stop the war.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Elected members of the government:

I'm sending this message in peace.

This war needs to be stopped!

 

--------------------------------------

 

Please stop the war.

It's unfair and unjust.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Please stop the war in Iraq.

Listen to your heart. What does your soul know to be right?

 

--------------------------------------

 

Please work for peace -- for all people globally.

Thank you. Signed, a fellow human.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Please, please just stop killing people.

War is a made-up game where people convince other people that it can be good to kill another person.

It's time to stop playing games.

A paradigm shift is coming.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Please stop the Iraq war now.

 

--------------------------------------

 

You are collectively responsible for the deaths in Iraq.

Your aid has helped many in the world but still the above statement holds true.

 

--------------------------------------

 

War should be ended. We are a civilized nation on civilized planet. Consideration for your fellow man is what will keep the world a safe and prosperous place!

 

--------------------------------------

 

please help create a world that is peaceful and beautiful not corrupt and full of capitalist slavery.

Peace stops war.

 

--------------------------------------

 

I believe as an evolved human race, as a whole, we are far too evolved to condone or agree to  hurting any human being -- therefore we cannot ever consider war as an answer to any conflict.

Humanity as a whole has completely evolved to understand and believe that we can no longer use war to resolve conflicts.

We can no longer kill for money!

 

--------------------------------------

 

Stop pointless war.

Make art, make love, have peace.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Please make it unlawful for any profit to be made by anyone or any company from war..

 

--------------------------------------

 

I vote for: Peace.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Stop the war!

 

--------------------------------------

 

Why are we still spending approximately 25% of our tax dollars on the military now that the Cold War has been over for a generation?

 

--------------------------------------

 

Please stop bombing Iraq.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Why do you insist on spending our money for war we don't want?

 

--------------------------------------

 

Please. Please urge our elected officials to stop using our tax dollars for a needless war and instead spend those precious billions assisting and resolving our domestic issues here at home!

We have no time to waste -- universal health care and the environment, not to mention the thousands living in poverty need your help -- now!

Thank you

 

--------------------------------------

 

Stop the war

Now

Don't

wait!

Regard troops home.

Now!

 

--------------------------------------

 

We are the people who believe in a freedom loving government that watches and protects but not seek out enemies.

Please bring all the troops back now.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Could you stop the war? Please?

Dear US government,

The last eight years have been a nightmare of absurd foreign policy. War is not the answer. Learn to talk to those you'd disagree with. Stop sending our troops to die in a useless war and spend the money at home where are infrastructure and health care is in a shambles.

 

--------------------------------------

 

I truly believe you have made an honest mistake.

I know you switch the "N." with the "Q.".

There is still time to change the result of the mishap mentioned above.

They share borders, and we're just sitting there.

Do you truly believe it makes sense?

Out of IRA_ and into IRA_

 

--------------------------------------

 

Why do we war? I we fight?

In a world divided and garbled in flight.

With our worlds departed from one another's true might.

The only solution to any war is that of our true love's sight.

We are never content until we are complete. So then what is completion... but the reflection of our soul with in us shown unto the world without. Ever spark igniting great change must come from that which is the greatest source, true love with love and truth. The hard part we weave our world with our other half on the other side. Bars cage man and keep truelove out. Prisoners in warfare propagate the hate keeping love and compassion out. No case, no touch, no loving bliss which is why it all went wrong. To touch and to move to care and love is what the D. O. C. Is supposed to be, the Dock of Compassion. Do not divide the true lovers plight. Nothing and no one can succeed before they are complete. No door may be opened without the key of love and purity. United we stand so let's stand true. Unite the lovers, ignite their flame, unite the gangs with no war and no shame, unite the classes of every type of game, unite the convicts with the true conviction of their hearts. Give them their true way and the tools to stay. EARTH FOR ALL! Water in fluidity for all. Heirs we are all... to be united. Fire and passion in every lovers dream. We are all mirrors of each other. No more shattered dreams.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Stop trying to run the world. Get out of the affairs of foreign governments. Go back to being a pre-world war neutral nation.

 

--------------------------------------

 

The fact that we are still in Iraq and young men and women come home every day with maimed limbs hearts and minds and half a life because of it makes me want to do and cry.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Stop the war fools!

 

--------------------------------------

 

Pay attention --

don't send our children to war. Teach them peace. Bring our soldiers home. Take great care of them now! Great hospitals. Great benefits. People to talk to and help them shed the horrors and atrocities they have witnessed.

Bring them home to their families and never send them again!

 

--------------------------------------

 

Let's get this Iraq war done with (they don't even want us there) and spend the money on more important things like educating children and energy independence.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Get US out of Iraq now!

 

--------------------------------------

 

End the war. It's what the people want. Peace is the way to victory. Start now...

*Listen*

 

--------------------------------------

 

BOMB HARVEST is brilliant. It shows what legacy the US leaves after wars. We are sending you all a copy! See it with your family!

 

(Note from transcriber: http://www.bombharvest.com/ )

 

Drug Policy

 

Marijuana has been shown by many doctors and institutions to have several medicinal uses, and at least 13 states have adopted medical/compassionate care laws...

Yet the federal government continues to tax my wages to pay law enforcement officers (and courts, and...) to arrest patients and their caregivers?

Please, vote to end the war against medical rights -- vote to allow each state to vote on their own medical laws (including laws related to marijuana)!

PS someone told me that the 10th amendment to the United States Constitution protect us from these types of problems. Is this true?

 

--------------------------------------

 

To distinguish sirs and madams:

one of the most troubling issues in this great country is the so-called "war on drugs".

The amount of suffering visited upon by victims of the war, especially the nonviolent ones, is much greater than any problems many of these drugs can cause. And they are disproportionately applied to certain peoples.

Please work for legalization of drugs and taxation to restore our great nation.

Thank you for your time.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Legalize all drugs.

What happens in the chemistry of my brain is my choice and should remain that way.

 

--------------------------------------

 

LSD is my religion. Please let me worship freely. We let Catholics use alcohol during Prohibition. I can't hippies use LSD?

 

--------------------------------------

 

Legalize marijuana!

Now!

 

--------------------------------------

 

Stop prosecuting people for the growth and use of marijuana. Stop and presenting them were cultivating medicine that helps people more than this country's prescription medication debacle. Let us be happy and numb naturally.

 

--------------------------------------

 

With all the aid available to other countries from the US why is the US itself have so many homeless not being aided?

Make weed legal and tax it!

 

--------------------------------------

 

Equality and justice for all means that the rights of minority should be protected by the majority. In other words:

·                     Legalize same-sex marriage.

·                     Allow women to choose what they want to do with their bodies: birth control, abortion.

·                     Equal pay for it to work.

Also stay out of our private lives. There's no constitutional precedent for the prohibition of marijuana and other drugs. The last time we had Prohibition, there was a constitutional amendment. And just like this illegal war on drugs, it didn't work.

Legalize it. Tax it. Provide rehabilitation services.

Thank you,

A freedom loving American

 

--------------------------------------

 

Please send the historic and harassing "war" on marijuana ownership and use.

While you're it please put it into legislative blockage to clean energy policy.

Please, please save our country, and our dignity.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Marijuana legal now.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Legalize marijuana, Mushrooms, LSD

Thanks

 

--------------------------------------

 

I'm tired of being misled, lied to, deceived and disrespected. This is mine, and our country. We are destroying our earth, soliciting child labor, overconsumption, and greed. I am an embarrassed of this country. We are young, egotistical and f**king selfish. Rather than giving us lies and empty promises try to have integrity. Our forests are being slaughtered, and reimplanted as farms. We cannot choose how to bury our dead. We are forced to comply with how you f**king evil bastards deem right. Live and let live. Legalize marijuana, legalize psilocybin, allow consciousness to heighten, allow us to grow as a unified front, as spiritual beings, respectful beings. Let's support freedom without sacrificing others freedom, Spirit, Earth or home. We must change. We must stand. Let us choose how to live our lives... so many are doing it anyways. We will rise, you will fall!

 

--------------------------------------

 

And the war on pot.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Allow outside ideas to be included in pharmaceuticals -- not controlled by their deep pockets.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Make marijuana legal, and tax the smokers!!

Hello, make money!

 

--------------------------------------

 

Prohibition never works as well as regulation and control.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Legalize marijuana.

 

 

Education

 

Pay for education!

 

--------------------------------------

 

We need education heavily funded. So many children are born today without the proper roadmap to grow up into healthy and happy grounded individuals. Please give the money back to our educators. We need strong leaders to get ourselves out of this mess. Please note that this can only come out of a proper education not test scores.

Listen and act with wisdom.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Deer Mr. Elekted Ofishuls:

Pleez help edumkate the childrens – Day be dat future.  I are educated and lok wat it has dun for me !!

 

--------------------------------------

 

Need better education system -- one based on child's knowledge instead of age.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Teach Americans about the poor conditions in other countries and maybe Americans will appreciate what a good country we have.

 

--------------------------------------

 

I believe it would benefit the country exponentially if between high school and college it was common practice to send students abroad for a year. Of course it couldn't be law but the government should encourage the practice. Simply put, traveling is the most cost effective education in today's world.

Immerse and grow.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Teachers educate the future leaders, doctors, artists and etc..

Provide the proper resources to enrich humanity!

This is where the future lives. Invest in it now.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Science and education are the most important things to help the future of our nation! Stop funding unpopular wars and big business and give more money to research and schools!

 

--------------------------------------

 

More services for garble students make the ACT SAT IN A.S.L.

 

--------------------------------------

 

EDUCATION: our children are our future! We need not only focus on educating them academically -- but emotionally and socially.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Teach basic logic in middle or high school. No more "appeal to emotion"

 

--------------------------------------

 

If you really wanted to end this cycle of party, why don't you teach every child to properly handle money? A generation later, you might still have rich and poor, but the gap would be smaller (or don't shore vested interests want that)

 

--------------------------------------

 

School should not be compulsory. We the parents of the United States children should have the freedom to choose and guide the education of our own individual children.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Pay our teachers more. They have the most important job, educating our future. We want the best teaching the best!

 

--------------------------------------

 

When more and more children are being raised by one parent homes, dysfunctional homes, abusive homes, why do you insist on cutting funds for educational system including head start???

That's their only chance!

 

--------------------------------------

 

The I feel the power of my one small voice. I spend my year surrounded by families with one common thread, a child with special needs. I watch them struggle with the school system, the community and yet there's so much joy. I do very little advocacy, rather I keep my scope small focused on child. I asked you to do the advocating. Keep these children in mind. Teachers do not know how to include them, communities, afterschool programs, doctors etc. do not know how to include them. Do not continue to marginalize this community they are key to embracing diversity of mind.

Thank you,

 

Energy Policy

 

 

Spend more money and time on researching alternative energy.

 

--------------------------------------

 

We must have this whole country as green as possible as soon as possible will destroy it. America needs to lead the world in this effort and the majority would use alternative energy if made more available.

Stop the Bush empire and oil.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Please consider isolating our energy needs from the political quagmire of unstable states.

Utilize the American ability to innovate and rise to the challenge of energy self-sufficiency.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Dear government,

please quit f**king up the planet. We need green energy. We need to love and trust each other. No more arbitrary garbled and no more excuses.

Sincerely,

 

--------------------------------------

 

What are they killed the electric car program in California?

That was despicable.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Start thinking about alternative fuel. Get off the oil already. Stop the war. Quit trying to run other countries.

 

--------------------------------------

From Erik Christensen

 

Please invest was necessary to make wind, solar, and fuel cells a reality.

 

--------------------------------------

 

I am upset at the state of dependence on oil. This countries operating on me, me, me - no long-term thinking state of mind. Hard decisions to change our energy resources have to be made now.  Procrastination or deal with reality. Our leaders should be leaders into the truth, not slaves to the whims of what's easy and destructive.

 

--------------------------------------

 

We need a comprehensive energy policy outside of politics and capitalism. One with continuance of the Earth as its primary objective

 

--------------------------------------

 

I think there a lot of important things that can be solved. Stop the B. S. And pandering to people's fears.

Energy -- spend money to develop solar and wind. We do it at Black Rock City (Gerlach, Wasworth, Lovelock). It can, and must be done. Now. Back in 1973, the first energy crisis we had the chance to do it, but failed. I only hope we don't say the same thing 35 years from now. Let the oil companies get their lease for offshore oil. But charge the f**k of them for it. Make the executives live within sight (or on a rig if necessary) of them, and make them swim in the water near them so they make sure the environment won't be destroyed.

 

--------------------------------------

 

No offshore drilling.

We have one chance for beautiful coast.

Keep it that way.

Seriously!

 

--------------------------------------

 

Wind and water power now in the USA.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Please start a moonshot/Manhattan Project to wean us off foreign oil and protect our environment. Even if you don't believe global warming is real, eventually our world will become polluted, if it hasn't already. The earth is not an infinite sink!

 

--------------------------------------

--------------------------------------

 

Spend more money and time researching alternative energy.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Americans are addicted to cheap and plentiful energy and the comforts it provides. We, as a country, must wean ourselves of this addiction now before we squander these precious resources for future generations.

Please sign the Kyoto accord and incentivize solar energy projects like they do in Germany and Japan. Also mandate fuel economy vehicles.

 

 

Elections

 

Dear elected official of the federal government,

Please consider instant runoff voting as a way to give voices to smaller constituencies, allowing voters to choose with their hearts, instead of trying to outsmart the system by voting for the safest candidate.

Thanks.

Sincerely,

 

--------------------------------------

 

I know it is very costly to run a campaign for reelection, but it just seems like a conflict of interest to accept campaign contributions from someone but cannot vote for you.

If someone from Denver can contribute to the election or reelection of the California senator how are the needs and desires of California is being served and why would this Denver contributor not get special access?

 

--------------------------------------

 

I regret that people don't understand free speech and expression. Ideas are points of exploration, not to be ridiculed or defaced. Be responsible for your thoughts and expressions.

Election should be won by building points on criticism. Criticizing your opponent demeans your thoughts and ideas.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Proportional representation.

Instant runoff voting.

Separation of church and state does not mean separation of spirit and stay.

Capitalism and business are not natural: Land, Labor, Capital = nature, mankind, spirit...

 

--------------------------------------

 

To whom it may concern:

Give us garbled the vote! Hold election days on holidays. Stop making it so hard for the people to voice their decisions. You should consider the lack of turnout a national emergency. Can you really say that you represent the people when only 40% were able to vote? It's a participatory government, and you should be worrying that people can't join in.

Also, fire Ted Stevens.

 

--------------------------------------

 

I would really, really like it if elections were not rigged anymore.

It would be phantasmagorical!

 

--------------------------------------

 

I find it incredibly disappointing that election day, arguably one of the most important days of the year, is not a national holiday. It's as if people are discouraged from voting because they are unable to leave work or get through lines before voting closes. I think it is the central that election Day be held in the same vein as Memorial Day or Independence Day; require all companies and employers to let employees take the day off by honoring the country and participating in one of our most basic rights. I'm appalled this has not happened yet.

 

--------------------------------------

 

The technology now exists to ask individuals for the viewpoints on routine matters of government. This should happen more often -- a direct democracy.

 

--------------------------------------

 

On the ballot paper have the option to vote -- "none of the above". I wonder what would happen then?!

 

--------------------------------------

 

Please correct the voting process!

 

 

Environment

 

End the assault on the environment. Save the polar bears

 

--------------------------------------

 

Concern over Iraq is not our primary concern. Our environment is. Please consider the well-being of your children. Ascertaining oil is not more important than reclaiming an environment that is suitable for living for our children.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Dear Representatives,

please extend all of your skills in protecting the environment.

 

Sincerely,

 

--------------------------------------

 

One universe, one galaxy, one solar system, one earth.

One place we were given in the whole system... to be stewards of the earth.

Not to overpopulate(got that done).

Not to pollute ( garbled).

Not to kill  (we, especially the U. S., are good at that one).

But stewards. Where is our stewardship? Or protection of the air of birds that fly in the oceans and lakes and the fish that swim in them, the land and all the animals that live on it.

Please save our wilderness.

Advocates for public transportation instead of millions of private cars. Trains, fast trains, cheap public transportation, planned parenthood. This top suburban sprawl. Be stewards are only earth.

 

--------------------------------------

 

The world needs to go green!!! If it doesn't then we will die and the world will become a junkyard. The animals are dying because of plastic.

Stop making plastic.

 

 

Healthcare Policy

 

There is something inherently wrong with the fact that there are people in this country who are incapable of getting health and dental care. Everyone has the right to live healthy.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Please strive to provide affordable healthcare for all in my lifetime (I've already been waiting 53 years)

 

--------------------------------------

 

Unified healthcare system.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Free healthcare and education for all people in the USA, legal or not.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Healthcare for everyone.

Mandatory free birth control for welfare women.

 

--------------------------------------

 

We need socialized medical care in this country!

 

--------------------------------------

 

I'm moving to France unless you guys figure out universal healthcare like the rest of the civilized world has.

Thanks, DZ

PS the whole war bullshit isn't working.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Single-payer healthcare for all please.

Now!

 

--------------------------------------

 

If America is the greatest country in the world, why does our government value profit over the quality of life? The quality of life can be improved by universal healthcare, institutionalized day care, and college grants.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Does anyone care about the hell of this nation?

Health care!

I need to see a specialist so I don't die -- and I can't because it cost too much money.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Can I take my baby to a doctor?

 

--------------------------------------

 

Remove profit from healthcare.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Please create a national healthcare program for the USA.

I believe we need coverage for all not just insurance. We/you and I need this and can create it.

Garbled funding for our bloated military budgets.

Thanks.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Dear representatives of the people of the united states of America,

please stop allowing corporations to profit from the healthcare system. We need to fix this. The public health should not be for sale.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Without a doubt our country needs universal healthcare. In a time when we're trying to focus more on our earth and treat her more gently, how can we do so if we are not able to help ourselves. By healing ourselves we would be able to accomplish so much more. Please have a heart!

Thank you.

 

--------------------------------------

 

My husband works full time.

I work full time.

We still cannot afford health insurance.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Equality for every person. For real.

Equal healthcare for every person regardless of financial status.

Equal taxation.

Flat taxes are the only fairer taxes

 

--------------------------------------

 

Stop spending money on stupid things (e.g. warfare) and start giving your people something they need like healthcare (e.g. socialized medicine).

How is it that we are the only westernized country that does not have a capital health plan? Us the big USA.

 

--------------------------------------

 

My teeth are killing me. I will bet that "all" 545 of you elected officials can chew your own food.

Because you have jobs with health care and dental.

Can you make baby food cheaper?

 

--------------------------------------

 

Immigration

 

We're a country of immigrants. America is the great melting pot... a refuge to those with no freedoms and no choices. Why have we turned from that? Why we have the love and respect to show our neighbors? Have we love our fellow man again?

 

--------------------------------------

 

Stop giving DSHS so easily to foreigners (three months!) Denying help the tax paying Americans.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Please do something about immigration that works -- fences are not the answer (neither is Sheriff Arpaio in Phoenix Arizona) roundups aren't the answer either.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Give me a f**king green card! Thanking you in advance.

 

--------------------------------------

 

I note with amusement the current discussion on the lack of tourists visiting the U. S. (Despite the dollar being so weak).

I am not a U.S. Citizen, but the answer seems plain to me. If you treat people with suspicion, hostility and rudeness when they arrive (as the U. S. does) in the airports, people just not come back.

You guys don't make anyone feel welcome.

Sincerely,

 

--------------------------------------

 

If you love someone it shouldn't be so f**king hard to get a green card you f**kers. Learn from the rest of the world... in more than this situation.

 

--------------------------------------

 

We need closed borders.

No one gets in without proper paperwork.

Birth control for all!

 

--------------------------------------

 

Please don’t hate immigrants.  They are nice people. Really.  They don’t steal American jobs, they expand the economy.

 

 

Veterans

 

Help our vets faster instead of making them wait for help. No foreclosing on vets were fighting for our country. Help our soldiers.

 

--------------------------------------

 

People in the military should be paid like rock stars!

 

--------------------------------------

 

My dad died of agent orange poisoning due to Vietnam. It sickens me that his sacrifice has been devalued by the unconscionable gutting of this precious document. (Refering to the Constitution)

 

--------------------------------------

 

You like that I'm not a football fan I thought my chair when I saw that

 

 

Taxes and Budget

 

 

There is no law requiring me to pay income tax. Not one of my dollars allotted to the IRS goes to the greater good of the US population at large, but into the pockets of the bankers who seize control of the US Federal Reserve 100 years ago. Call for an audit of the national vault, reinstate the gold standard!

 

--------------------------------------

 

There is no law written down saying the American citizen has to pay federal tax! So WHY DO WE PAY?

 

--------------------------------------

 

There is no actual law that says that citizens have to pay taxes. The Federal Reserve is a private business and method of control! More and more American citizens are aware of the injustices done by the governments both internationally and at home. There will be a tipping point when more people will take action to challenge the status quo.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Taxpayers should be allowed to choose what percentage of their taxes goes where.

 

--------------------------------------

 

1. Quit taxing the poor. Poor being the lowest 20% in income level!

2. Change our tax system to a sales tax on all sales at all levels of all goods and products. Do the math, this'll make all corporations pay their fair share. This will limit a WRITE-offs.

After all the rich and corporations spend huge amounts of money so they will also pay huge amounts in tax. Then allow everyone to own a home with only a one time tax. Let this tax be paid over five years or due on sale.

 

--------------------------------------

 

It is time to get together and reduce government spending and bureaucracy, etc. in order to help those who need it most.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Reduce military spending!

Fund: education

alternative energy

promote healthy living and fight obesity

do away with homeland security.

 

--------------------------------------

 

The United States of America should always remain an independent, sovereign nation. Our freedoms and economy should not be curtailed by treaties and the United Nations.

 

Copyright Law

 

The RIAA’s business model failed. Don't let copyright be used to prop up failed businesses. No one should be able to own American culture!

 

Deficit Spending

 

Don't spend more than you make -- balance the budget!

PS pass a law declaring every Friday "CRAZY TIE DAY"

 

Sen. Orrin Hatch (Republican) Utah

 

How does it feel that your legacy will be forever evaluated by the atrocities to our freedoms that were permitted, in part, during your oversight of the Senate Judiciary committee?

You basically ignored the Constitution in order to protect an incompetent and illegal administration.

Congratulations on a fine legacy!

From,

 

CIA

 

The United States Constitution makes no mention, director indirect, of any permanent "intelligence" organizations. The FBI, CIA, DHS, etc. are not mentioned in the powers of the Pres. or Congress.

 

Jobs

 

With so many jobs going overseas, how does the US government expect to keep a strong middle class?

 

Gov. Arnold Schwartzeneger

 

Dear Gov. Arnold Schwartzeneger,

Thank you for encouraging solutions for a better state and country, and for advocating bipartisan solutions!

What a beautiful world we can make when we all put our heads together for the greater good!

 

From Canada

 

Dear United States of America,

Your democracy is flawed. Your complicated system makes the people in my country poor. I think it's mostly about the difference between the rich and the poor. So please buy Canadian beef because the infected cow was proven to come from Montana.

 

Women

 

I wonder why we take from our women. Why we rate our women. We hate our women?

I think it's time to kill for our women. He'll are women. The real to our women.

(McCain = Handmaid's Tale come true)

 

Crime

 

New strategies need to be implemented to deal with persistent party and lawlessness in many urban "ghettos" with their popular "thug" culture.

Case in point: Oakland, California where businesses and restaurants are under siege from a new generation of bold super criminals.

Federalize law enforcement in areas under siege?

Compulsory school uniforms?

Legalize and regulate drugs?

And public housing projects?

 

The Federal Reserve

 

Please, use your constitutional power and remove the "Federal Reserve". It has ruined this country, and will continue to do so unless destroyed. Please, I wish not to be implanted with a RFID chip.

 

Food Standards

 

CODEX ALIMENTARIUS is a crime against every man, woman and child.

The world you are leaving your children is one per rest of the very choices define them.

 

(Note from the transcriber: http://www.codexalimentarius.net/web/index_en.jsp )

 

Arts

 

Fund the arts.

Art inspires critical thinking.

Creativity is hardwired into our DNA.

Bring back part in our schools.

Education is freedom -- every culture has Art.

 

Bicycles

 

In a time of peak oil we need to, no have to, start the idea of the bicycle as being a respected mode of transport. Not only will it help with our oil consumption it will also help our obesity problem! The bicycle is the most efficient mode of transport. Please let start taking advantage of this wonderful invention.

 

Apollo

 

Please stop lying about the Apollo mission. We all know you have never been to the moon!

 

Population Control

 

Overpopulation is the greatest problem in our world faces. Stop giving tax breaks and incentives for creating more usurpers of this planet. Stop allowing people to think that it's their God-given right to have offspring. Think about the future of this earth and not ourselves for a change!

 

Housing

 

Affordable housing creates the foundation for a stable life. Knowing that your home can be your home, as long as it meets your needs, is a stepping stone to many other successes -- in work, family, love and unity. Support affordable housing funding

 

Judicial

 

Rather than keep expanding the number, the power, and yet already of law enforcement, the government should expand the judicial system -- we should have more judges, better access to courts (i.e. night courts), more courts. Police, while crucially important, should only be there to implement laws by people -- appointed judges.

Let's stop giving law enforcement critical thinking power, and keep this in the hands of the judicial system.

Money should go to expand the judicial system.

Thank you!

 

Welfare

 

Stopped giving welfare money to able-bodied young women just because they decide to have one or 10 children. It's not there to. They (we) should be responsible for our choices.

 

Animal rights

 

Animal rights and protections in our own global warming era.

 

Obama

 

Please

Give peace a chance!

Give Barack a chance.

Please Barack, be genuine, be true to your values, your family.

You rock.

Please love and respect for the earth.

 

--------------------------------------

 

OBAMA I love you!

 

--------------------------------------

 

Barak Obama --

You have the opportunity to change the direction of this world and country.

Don't lose your heart!

 

--------------------------------------

 

Obama 2008

Please people!!

 

--------------------------------------

 

Obama 2008 Please!!

There is a significant and meaningful contingent of progressives who passionately and patriotically advocate and demand rep presentation in policy decisions in this country, and the Obama nomination should serve as a wake-up call.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Dear Pres. Obama

Please bring integrity, justice, fairness and good will back to the White House and Redeem America's role among the many wonderful people and nations of our planet.

Love,

 

Telecom Immunity

 

Guess what. I called your office and was assured by your staff that you would not vote for telecom immunity for spying on me.

You voted for it twice anyway.

I'm voting you out area believe it or not the citizens still care about the Constitution.

 

Diplomacy

 

It is simple:

You cannot stop violence with violence.

Understanding through communication and negotiation is the only civil and ethical route to peace.

 

--------------------------------------

 

We should be nice to the French again.

Thanks

 

--------------------------------------

 

Please! Cooperate with the rest of the world. Conquering others and creating terrorist fear through propaganda defeats the beauty of living. You can work for sustainable, nonviolent culture that is using innovative technology to feed and help this country become a leader in providing for others rather than stealing other countries resources.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Torture

 

Close your eyes and imagine.

You have not one worry.

You have not one regret.

You have accomplishment and union and people all around you are smiling.

Giving you free -- all you need.

You just ask and it's free. All things.

Closure I

and when you stop the torture -- open them and see clearly.

 

 

Dog owner

 

And breed specific legislation. There are no "bad" breeds. People are 100% responsible for their pets.

Educate the public on responsible pet ownership.

Stricter laws and far more severe punishment for animal use -- dog fighting rings need to be abolished.

 

English

 

I should not have to press one for English.

 

The Patriot and the Patriot Act

 

America -- love it or leave it!!! Respect her!

 

--------------------------------------

 

Repeal the Patriot Act.

It violates our freedom and he is in conflict with the Constitution

 

--------------------------------------

 

How the hell could you pass the Patriot Act??

Save the Constitution!

 

Media

 

Why is the media not doing its job? Media should be separate from corporate dreams. Let the entertainment sector do their thing to make money but let's have real news. George W. is the luckiest man alive -- he's gotten away with murder. The news media should report and investigate and tell the truth.

 

Constitution

 

Our government is so decentralized between federal, state and local bodies it has ground progress in this country to a halt.

Please simplify and eliminate federal state and local governments to provide the same function in duplicate or triplicate. Take all the savings and invest in the environment and infrastructure.

 

--------------------------------------

 

What happened to the part of the Constitution that says one Rep. for every 10,000 people?

 

Gay Rights

 

The thing which most destroys the sanctity of marriage is the easy attitude people have toward it; not the people the same-sex loving each other. They seem to appreciate it more than heterosexuals.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Gays, lesbians, bisexuals, transgender, and every other person should be able to love, Mary and have families with whomever they choose

2 in love lesbians?

 

--------------------------------------

 

Allow gay marriage to be legal. It's best for individuals and for society for people to be and live who they are and love who they love!

Celebrate that.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Marriage, to this day, is business contract. It should be made an option for all combinations/number of citizens.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Denying full gay rights is un-American!

 

--------------------------------------

 

Please make the necessary changes so that all are treated equally. Specifically gay and lesbian groups. Garble our prison system is not helping our incarcerated US citizens. They need help and guidance

Sincerely,

 

 

Religion

 

We the people must win or all is lost!! Right now we are not winning!! So make it so we do!!

It should not just be the Bible but the Koran the Avesta, and the Bhagavad-Gita and the Sibyllihe books and all other possible sacred writ. If we truly have religious freedom, which we don't now because Bush war put in power by the Christian right who really know how to manipulate the media.

 

--------------------------------------

 

I'm writing to you as one of the people who represents "we the people"

honor the separation of church and state. Pass no laws that make reference to religious beliefs. Pass laws to prevent religious indoctrination of our children anything less is child abuse.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Separation of church and state. Remember?!

 

--------------------------------------

 

I am writing to you who represent "we the people" to honor the separation of church and state.

To pass laws to prevent indoctrination of our children until the age of majority.  (Not a repeat - same contributor twice)

 

--------------------------------------

 

Freedom means freedom of religion, not national Christian religion.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Food for thought:

seven of the nine major founding fathers denied the divinity of Jesus.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Religion has no place within our educational or governmental institutions.

Fairy tales are for children to help influence their lives.

WE ARE ADULTS!

 

 

9/11

 

One hour before the first plane hit on 9/11 -- Joe Kernan announced that the vault under World Trade Center four was open and a large amount of gold was missing. Joe Kernan is a CNBC anchor and commentator. Why was this not investigated?

 

Abortion

 

My reproductive system is none of your business.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Let women make their own choices unless you're willing to adopt every unwanted child. This is not Afghanistan or Iran!

 

--------------------------------------

 

The church should not be allowed a stake in deciding matters of women's bodies!

 

--------------------------------------

 

It is the duty of the government to realize that it is not there place to decide the legality of abortion. This belief is akin to religious and as such should not be prohibited or encouraged by the government, only regulated to keep health and well-being of the women involved in tact.

 

--------------------------------------

 

1. Women are not incubators

2. Church and state equal to separate things.

3. Old, fat, bald men should not be allowed to decide in matters of women's bodies.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Make abortion legal and free.

 

Child support

 

Why can a woman that needs welfare only get limited help. But that other women can have multiple dads to all their children and collect maximum benefits from each father?

 

Mideast

 

Could they open their eyes to the Israel/Palestinian situation and not their wallets to lobby men's vested interest.

They have blood on their hands.

 

Corporations

 

To Gov. James Douglas:

Mr. Douglas, as your partial employer I advise considering the option of banning Wal-Mart McDonald's and other corporate takeovers from the state. Mom and pop shops are being run out of town. Certainly we can achieve this. Also an alliance with Canada and Maine would be a good idea.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Limit the number of lobbyists and make a law that any corporation or organization may have only two lobbyists represent them -- limit the number of lobbyists permits to 1090 total.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Please --

let's be good to one another. All the people of the world are equal. Let's remember that the USA is not better than any other nation.

Big business has too much power. Bring back mom and Pop!

I love this country.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Corporations are not people. Restore power and decisions to the people.

 

--------------------------------------

 

A government be held by corporate greed is not of the people

 

--------------------------------------

 

We elect you to represent us.

That is "we the people" not the corporations. I know you don't get paid enough but who does? Please put the people first began.

 

Justice System

 

I have been through our justice system. I was treated as if I was guilty until proven innocent. Injustice is a poison.

 

Impeachment

 

To: Rep. Matsui

Please be sure Bush is impeached before he can leave office.

 

--------------------------------------

 

We feel concerned we are running out of time. The planet deserves more from us and we want interaction from you.

Impeach this administration.

Thank you,

 

--------------------------------------

 

Impeach the mother f**kers already!

Sheesh. There is a reason the founders put that part in there and it wasn't so we could ditch guys didn't blow jobs.

Get your integrity and get your butts attached to your brains.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Dear Nancy Pelosi, et al.,

the only way to ensure the imperial president does not pass his powers on to the next president is to impeach him. Please hold your oath to the Constitution and uphold the rule of law by impeaching him

 

--------------------------------------

 

Put impeachment back on the table! If not, Bush will pardon co-conspirators and America will never reclaim the high ground or respect of the world.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Criminal conduct by elected and appointed officials, whether corruption, war crimes or the violation of well-established rights of the citizens must be vigorously prosecuted.

 

--------------------------------------

 

"Impeachment is off the table."

Holding the president accountable is the duty of Congress.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Is your duty to call for impeachment proceedings for both the president of the United States, George W. Bush and the VP United States, Richard Cheney.

 

 

Burning Man

 

Your art car rules are jaded!!

There are so many "decorative art cars" that got approval.

Hyman upset Werner who got rejected for mutant vehicle... I see so many crappy art cars out here... I know mine would've ruled.

 

Anger

 

Hon. Representatives of my government:

I served my country as an Air Force officer for 20 years. I did by cooperating with whatever team I was on. When I disagreed, I voiced my concerns and suggested alternatives, but then we decided and moved on.

Please stop your bickering and stonewalling. It embarrasses me and should embarrass you too!

 

--------------------------------------

 

You bastards!

Make America what it could be!

 

--------------------------------------

 

Stop legislating behavior. If I want to smoke, eat trans fats, or binge drink myself to death, Let Me! There is no security in life -- only freedom matters. Let freedom ring, you self absorbed, meddling, moralizing bastards!

 

--------------------------------------

 

We are only as strong as our weakest member.

Please feed the hungry and educate the uneducated for once!

 

--------------------------------------

 

Dear America,

There is no need for the things you are doing. Stop being greedy. You have to much already. Stop being a bully, the world is already afraid. You're not the boss of the world. Take care of your own problems. You have many.

Signed, One single voice.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Why is there a disconnect between people who go into government to serve and those same people realize the power they are given and begin to abuse it and serve themselves more than citizens?

We expect to give in exchange for our trust?

 

--------------------------------------

 

Be honest. Tell us the truth even if it hurts.

Our representatives should be just that -- representations of America -- not fees and criminals -- so why have so many of you been prosecuted over the years especially lately? Represent the people.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Can we live in peace? Can we respect each other?

I demand peace in the world.

We are the nation of immigrants. Why why we are garbled who we are!!!

 

--------------------------------------

 

Please remove the liars who are stealing our money and securing oil for their own greed driven desires.

And replace them with leaders who want to fix our country and who are competent.

 

--------------------------------------

 

We used to be the freest people on earth, now one of the most controlled and regulated.

We need our freedom back.

 

--------------------------------------

 

We have lost a sense of community -- our country is being sold off -- our roads built with public money, our ports.

This needs to stop.

We have overbalanced on business and money -- and lost our values.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Why does your party always claim one thing and do another?

Why did taxes increase in public programs decrease?

Why does the government steal money from taxpayers to overpay politicians?

 

--------------------------------------

 

The human species is limitless and potential, destruction and wonderful curiosity. Who are you, in all this mess? Just a thought *hiccup*

PS If you want to go to war, you become a communist with Democratic hopes and demonic ruling.

Evil

 

--------------------------------------

 

You are all guilty of something. Why you do what you do?

Lies, greed, power.

 

--------------------------------------

 

We don't believe in you anymore.

(It's obvious you've also stopped believing in us)

 

--------------------------------------

 

You guys and ladies are so stupid

It's time to get real.

 

--------------------------------------

 

The President has declared he has the ability to imprison and interrogate (torture) citizens indefinitely without trial.

What Else Can I Say?

 

--------------------------------------

 

Listen up people, we need to refind the heart of America.

With love and compassion we can be a great nation again!!

 

--------------------------------------

 

Will there ever be a presidential candidate worthy of the job -- to represent our country the way it's people are?

Probably not!

 

--------------------------------------

 

Priority: Turn capital building into a singular compost unit -- to allow all 545 members to decay together.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Dear elected citizens,

Please stop lying and put us before your personal security.

Thanks,

 

--------------------------------------

 

I think you're doing a horrible job!! We need representatives with open minds and hearts not straightlaced representatives with no sense of humor and no sense of goodwill at all!

We are all important.

Very important!

Sincerely,

 

--------------------------------------

 

Dear Ms. Mrs. or Sir,

You all should be less important than the life of any other individual citizen, or not.

"These police need policing"

 

--------------------------------------

 

Outlaw taking contributions from big business and special interests -- by all elected officials.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Thanks for being so painfully negligent of the people; I developed a sense of autonomy in reaction!

Love

 

--------------------------------------

 

You have forgotten who you work for, who you are supposed to represent.

You're killing my country. Put your hands in your pockets shut your mouths and listen!

Now!

 

--------------------------------------

 

How do you make the world better for us?

Are you fixing or breaking?

100% honest or 100% crooked?

Dead or alive?

Who knows!

 

--------------------------------------

 

Do you feel good about yourselves with your pockets so full you're drowning the planet. You have vast fortunes get your lives are not eternal and your children still have to live on this planet. We'll money save them? From natural disasters when the planet decides it has had enough of you and your games it will be rid of you and we will have to begin again.

 

--------------------------------------

 

I wonder if we ever have "free press".

I wonder if that one time we really believed in practice the ideals our country preaches.

 

--------------------------------------

 

A political Police Department of 250 to regulate the actions of the representatives with a penalty of citizen revocation for those whom commit crimes against the needs of the many.

Deportation and exile.

 

--------------------------------------

 

As a whole you're doing incredibly bad job of governing. This nation deserves better.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Why do you care about money more than the people? Why do you take the funding away from human expression and growth (i.e. arts and science) in order to fund your war?

Put your resources and your people -- not some overseas corporate organization.

Fund education.

Sincerely, a concerned citizen

 

--------------------------------------

 

You are all blowing it

Really badly!

 

--------------------------------------

 

America was great to start. Now it's reputation is terrible globally. It's a failing state and empire.

Fix it!

 

--------------------------------------

 

Great job taking care of baby Bush!

Eight years and he still hasn't gotten us nuked by stupidity!

 

--------------------------------------

 

You claim to be a religious man.

Here the farthest thing from God.

Bush will burn in hell.

 

--------------------------------------

 

I'm happy to see that both parties are more willing to fight each other and work together to govern our country; I'm voting independent.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Government in theory, all right...

... governments in practice?

Full of corruption and lust for power. No respect to nature and the Kingdom Animalia.  Why?

Power and unconventional also a sustained way of life.

Even this festival, we are in nothing without power, and that is happiness.

 

--------------------------------------

 

I am very disappointed.

 

--------------------------------------

 

As Americans, you should be ashamed of the last 50 years -- especially the last eight.

Make a difference in the world, don't support the corporations -- they are not us!

 

--------------------------------------

 

History remember those who encourage suffering on our fellow sentient earthlings as all before half. When you know your path to be violent or peaceful you can choose area

 

--------------------------------------

 

"It is the job of every level of governance to protect its constituents not vice versa"

-- Thomas Jefferson

Abide by the word of our forefather or we will rise up.

 

--------------------------------------

 

F**k you!

 

--------------------------------------

 

I would like you to know that I never assented to be governed by you or any of your colleagues. I was in fact never given the option to opt out. My parents were forced to hand me over to your agents for indoctrination (public school) and, upon reaching my majority, I became subject to the summary robbery (fax) and potential slavery (selective service). As my only option of escaping your domination is submitting to a similar domination in another land, I asked you to bear in mind, as you wield your massive power (including the power to end human life through nuclear war, or my life through execution) that I, and all your other "constituents" are not free participants in this system, but hapless slaves of history.

 

--------------------------------------

 

If our forefathers only knew what our country has become!

 

--------------------------------------

 

If you don't stop this nonsense you'll spoil everything.

 

--------------------------------------

 

In a free country wouldn't everyone be free to do whatever they like as long as they're not hurting anyone else? This is not a free country.

 

--------------------------------------

 

If you people are as full of shenanigans I think you are work totally f**ked.

 

--------------------------------------

 

I enjoy my civil liberties. Why do you feel the need to take them away from me? We elected you, we empower you, we can take it away.

 

--------------------------------------

 

We are the people...

that are controlled, manipulated and tricked into believing that we have a democracy.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Dear "America"

we know there is no true democracy and that the votes of we "the people" count for a lot in a world of fixed elections and corrupt politicians. You say we have freedom but I have yet to live in a country where we "the people" can truly be free.

"The American dream is the rest of the world's nightmare."

War is not the answer nor his political control. This is a country built off of brainwashing and clever propaganda. All I have to say is

F**k you.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Don't you think we should help the people in our country first before we go and ruin all the other countries?

Same thing you learn in high school psychology that family violence is a cycle. I think the same thing applies to countries. Violence only begets more violence... So why keep starting and continuing wars? Save the billions of dollars go to the military and spend it on healthcare, education, securing our food systems is courting small local farms (among many other issues) and maybe then our country will not be despised by all.

Thank you for reading this. I would appreciate a prompt response and action. Sincerely,

 

--------------------------------------

 

We need an end to your corruption.

If it isn't you (you might be innocent but at least one of Uris that is)

research more, be more responsible and don't cop out of voting for the people you represent for political reasons.

If you don't get elected again go back to being a citizen and enjoy it.

Thank you,

 

--------------------------------------

 

Why control to disempower? This only creates power struggles and resistance. Only when you empower can change be seen. Control equals the year. Why are you afraid of the power of the people? No wonder we all have self-esteem issues.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Bye-Bye Bush!!!

 

--------------------------------------

 

You should run on the platform of illuminating your position. That would be justice for 500 years of robbery.

Namaste.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Please put the following into solitary confinement until that:

-- Cheney

-- Rumsfeld

-- Bush Senior and Junior and Mrs.

-- Ashcroft

-- Governing board of Halliburton

.

--------------------------------------

 

I feel betrayed by each of you. You are no better then any one of your constituents and even behave worse than most. You create harsh conditions for the people. You show us your greed and you ask with little to no conscience area the system is broken, yet I still have faith in the people of this country, just not the leaders.

Where will you be for the revolution?

 

--------------------------------------

 

A day of reckoning is approaching. The framers of our Constitution warned of influence peddling in the halls of law and their direst fears have come to pass. If we cannot learn to change course, week two will tread the well-worn road of the Greeks, Romans, Egyptians and British empires -- to oblivion and inconsequence. And the flame of liberty will be extinguished.

 

--------------------------------------

 

You say you are the government of the people but our police force does so many activities only for profit.

Norman should pay for itself but please remember to keep our garble first.

Settle Picasso!

 

--------------------------------------

 

We are wasting a perfectly great country and it need not be so. Time is running short. Stop fighting, start talking.

Gear our economy to cleaning the mess we made.

PS quit screwing around and get us all a portable healthcare.

The pharmaceutical industry is ruining our lives.

 

--------------------------------------

 

I feel less safe since DHS. came to power. Get rid of this Gestapo organization and let's get back to being Americans again! Trading liberty for "security" is the biggest mistake we could have made. Give me back my privacy and my freedom!

 

--------------------------------------

 

I am tired of the two-party step. We wagged back and forth like a pendulum. There is little forward motion because both parties fear the future.

The question is, "is there anyone there who can think beyond the short-term?"

I have to say how disgusted I am at the current state of the art of politics. You all soldiers cells to get where you are and are beholden to those who bought you. The only politicos rated lower than GWB are the Congress and you all deserve it.

 

--------------------------------------

 

I choose peace.

I choose equality.

Out of chaos comes a new order.

Divine father, mother Earth -- may I be the piece I want to see in the minds and hearts of each being on the planet.

They all find happiness within.

 

--------------------------------------

 

We the people need to Department of peace. Let's make peace making a priority! The old ways don't work. Give up ascetic dysfunction.

 

--------------------------------------

 

The neocon fascists have undermined our constitution and bill of rights in their quest for power, oil and garble.

The middle class has been decimated by government -- a metastasizing cancer that must be curbed. The Bush crime syndicate must be held accountable to the Hague.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Please stop trying to attack me from myself with all the laws.

This country was not founded by playing it safe.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Dear supposed to be representatives,

you should be ashamed of yourselves you have sold out to business instead of looking out for your own people. As a Frenchman living in the USA for the past 20 years, I rate your system has a big F. why do you manage the tax dollars that way, you are elected to spend the wealth equally and fairly. Your system is old, archaic and broken. The USA is in crisis and most of you are totally responsible. Your founding fathers are turning around in their graves.

Only a crisis can change the system and it's coming soon. Where is your rule of law. Why is the administration raping the Constitution on a regular basis. I love this land but the people ruling it are disconnected from reality. All I can do is send positive energy so this nation can heal from its disease which is mostly greed.

 

--------------------------------------

 

If only you knew that the people on the top when controlling you every move -- mutilating children, filling people up with shared food to make fair spirit die and kill the insides a little slower. Breeding sadness and the acceptance of death, or the fear. A balance needs to be welcomed. What's wrong with exercise? What's wrong with free? Why do most of us have no money, garble, food, smiles, love. The man on top breeds this ignorance. Wake up and stop the lies. We need you.

 

--------------------------------------

 

I am a 23-year-old girl so discouraged by the state of my nation and I find it difficult to vote on anything beyond the local level. My finding of the unavailability of proper candidates has turned me into one of the great number of those in my age group who doesn't vote. I want you to know that my not voting is not because I don't care; it's because I care too much to vote for the lesser of two or three or 70 evils. I'm

 

--------------------------------------

 

545 people representing we the people are it seems we need to get a better system in order.

We are great as a people but it doesn't mean we can't do better.

 

--------------------------------------

 

We the people deserve Franklin, Jefferson, Hamilton and the high ideas on which this country was founded. We have become the laughingstock of the world and there's no relief in sight. Terrorism is not our greatest threat. It is the dumbing down of our society. We are fat and lazy with the next edition of the network television program having more significance to us than the sad position to have fallen.

 

--------------------------------------

 

We hold a greater responsibility to our community to do what is right not just for us but for every one. The military-industrial complex is some money and blood hungry monster. Systematically waging of war for bloodshed and profit makes you DISGRACE do not yourselves (Ford seems you have no grace of your own) but your families, your community and this nation, a collective of communities. It is not too late though BROTHERS. Come join us in the New World or perish with this one.

 

--------------------------------------

 

My heart sinks to the belly of my soul when I think of how my employees (government) don't actually care about me or my family. Why and how? The only thing we can do, actually do, is hope. Even passed our efforts as a people. HOPE!!!

 

--------------------------------------

 

Frankly, I must say -- you are not my government. I did not vote for you.

I am proud to say, I am neither a citizen, nor resident of these great United States of yours.

Hopefully I'll never be, for this is the land of the imprisoned and the home of those scared to silence.

Let the world live in peace, freedom and independence.

keep your soldiers at home.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Please start world war is more often.

I think taking over world is the birthright of all Americans. After all, this country was founded by conquest.

You don't deserve to be where you are.

Stop making up lies to hide your personal greed and self-destructive behavior.

Love everyone or kill everyone.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Politicians scare me. They are so fake. I was a political science major in college, and now I'm poor politics. Empty promises made by corrupt, power-hungry man. The system does not work. It is not what men like John Adams and Thomas Jefferson intended

. What a shame

--------------------------------------

 

I am in love with the USA.

His country has shown me great opportunity. They showed me how harsh opportunity can be to those whose lot it is less than mine.

 

--------------------------------------

 

I believe that this noble nation is at its most volatile state and that the largest risk in memory. The elected officials, you being one of them, are entirely blind and either ignorant or hostile towards the thoughts and concerns the citizens face. Corporate greed and best real enterprise's chokehold on the government process. You should be ashamed and repent. You are destroying the future.

 

--------------------------------------

 

We elected a new Congress for change, yet I have seen very little change in the Congress. Perhaps it takes a president with a backbone to actually enact some change.

 

--------------------------------------

 

The government itself will never accomplish anything could change the world for the better, without the assistance of the people it governs.

 

--------------------------------------

 

If you -- the representatives of the people -- continue to support and endorse this heinous deviation from the Constitution and continue to take away right after right, we will overthrow you.

Promise.

 

--------------------------------------

 

To whom it may concern,

I am entitled to pride in my own nation. So f**k all of you who have pissed on it in interest of whatever personals scheming and wheeling dealing.

I have no words for it at the moment, but I'll see y'all in the RNC protests in St. Paul Minnesota -- where I'm from. We're going to show all you suckers some Midwest hospitality up close and personal.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Please excuse me Mr. Pres. and all attendant bureaucrats -- -- --

The Constitution is not just a piece of paper.

 

--------------------------------------

 

If I could think of something smart and helpful to write to the congressman I would, but the school system let me fall through the cracks. Because of poor funding at the early grades. Thank you. I am sure some of you do good work!

 

--------------------------------------

 

Newsflash:

We don't give a f**k about you.

We make the laws.

We define our own reality area

We don't need your permission or your oversight.

We are the people not you.

Don't forget it!

 

--------------------------------------

 

I left my home in the US for Canada 25 years ago. Not because of the war, not because of political ideology, but because I wanted to live in a country that truly reflected "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness".

I'm a 47-year-old professional woman with a Masters. I am now giving back to society in many ways -- as a volunteer, as a voter, as an advocate for the past six years, as an elected official in Canada.

I would have loved to have given back in my home country, the US, but wars in the Middle East, eroded health-care and education and Neanderthal environmental policies sent me north.

 

--------------------------------------

 

There are many others now and growing, who are aware your only chief role is to manage and distribute resources.

Liberals feel it's better to share the resources as to keep us.style and compliant. The Conservatives say no and don't want to share resources with the people and feel if we don't like it and get uppity they can just send out the National Guard, etc. And crackheads.

Both Democrats and Republicans are scam.

We are now knowing this.

We don't want or need you anymore.

 

--------------------------------------

 

Dear Mdm. or Sir,

I am writing to inform you that there are more of us than there are of you and we are taking our country back and we, all nations, are going to take our world back. Even the animals will rise up against you.

If you are cool then you will make it. You will be on our side. But if you aren't if you have unrepentantly been a part of the problem on a grand scale then you will fall into despair. And we will not help you.

This will be a nonviolent recovery mission. The New World order doesn't like unnecessary bloodshed. We expect cooperation. We'll go slow so you cannot just, because quite honestly you cats blow.

Thank you,

 

--------------------------------------

 

"Resolved"

We the Con Artist -- Congress and other elected thieves --

My American dream is to believe in you.

When might I have it?

 

--------------------------------------

 

Hello government AS***LES!

You have superseded your given powers. There has not been a leader as president in 60 years. A lot of you are traitors to America. The rights of Americans have to be observed. Don't tread on me

To Pres. George Bush,

First off, I would like to congratulate you on a job well done. If you could find a place in your heart to stop the nonsense that would be greatly appreciated. Repercussions away all those who hate. Fix what you can while you still have some time.

 

--------------------------------------

 

And again I wonder if Mike Thompson (California -- Democratic) represents the people. Can he name five constituents want us in Iraq? If it wasn't about oil should we just leave you behind. Get out now!

Smiles all,
