(The content below is my email to my Representative and Senators.  Feel free to use any of the content if you wish.)

Senator Shelby, Senator Sessions, Representative Aderholt:


I am a very concerned citizen about the future of our country.  It cannot survive in a healthy manner under this President unless there are major changes in political philosophy and may never recover after he leaves office if it does not occur.  I wish that I were a political genius and could make detailed suggestions to counter this situation, but I am not.  Therefore I will merely point out my observations and what must be countered.

It is apparent to me that every time that the President appears in public now it is a campaign event for the 2014 elections.  Today’s media is going to encourage this and never label it for what it is.  He wants to take over both houses so he can have no opposition to his ideology.  This must be countered by the conservative politicians.  An example of this is his news conference on gun control surrounded by children that have written him about the subject.  Is it possible that the conservatives could also hold a news conference and address other subjects that are more pertinent to violence, such as mental health, violence on tv, violent video games, and the fact that the perpetrators of the mass killings are mental cases and seldom legally possess the weapons that they use? 

The hypocrisy of this President is amazing.  I cried when I heard about the children that were killed in CT.  I am also very saddened by the thousands of children that are destroyed by abortion.  How can he put forth such energy and tax payer resources on gun control and yet is a proponent for abortion.  A human life is valuable and should not be destroyed either by mass killings or abortion.  He is a hypocrite on raising the debt limit.  He called President Bush unpatriotic for having to raise the limit back in 2006 when he was a Senator.  Now he says that he will disregard the constitution if he has to and unilaterally raise it.  On this topic he uses Social Security and Medicare to scare people and says that the Republicans want to quit paying for this which is an outright lie.  The world needs to know that the Republicans have put forth plans to keep them solvent.

Please quit using the terms “tax the rich.”  Instead use “tax the successful.”  I believe this would have less political clout in the “redistribution of the wealth” philosophy that he so successfully used during the campaign and is now smearing all over the faces of conservatives.

In order to save this country it is time to quit being politically correct and call a spin a spin and a lie a lie.  If this were done during the Presidential campaign, there possibly could be a qualified person being inaugurated as our President.  Mainstream media is not going to help, but it would be nice to get the media to be objective and not so liberal.  Solve this problem and you may have the solution.  Fox News “fair and balanced” approach to the news cannot offset the media liberal bias.

If you are not concerned and willing to go the extra mile to save this country, you need to look at Europe today, and world history going all the way back to the Roman Empire.

Thanks for letting me vent.  Appreciate where you stand on the above subjects.  Keep up your efforts because this runaway train has to be stopped somehow.
