My Letter to the President:

[truebrit71]

Here is the text of an e-mail letter I sent to the President this morning. This is the very first time I have actually done this, normally it's been a hasty call to the switchboard, but after watching George Suckedalotofcock on Good Morning America today gleefully talking about the cuts being negotiated into the Debt Ceiling vote I felt compelled to put fingers to keyboard and voice my opinion directly.

"Dear Mr. President,

As we get closer and closer to the edge of the "Debt Ceiling Precipice", I hear the pundits in the media talking about negotiations for MORE cuts that the republican leadership in the House want you to agree to before they will do what they have had no problem doing 11 times in the last ten years. Mr. President this is sheer madness. The party that created this mess in the first place is now threatening the entire US economy unless more of their disastrous policies are put in place? The working poor and the middle class have had to bear the brunt of the reapportioning of wealth that ocurred under your predecessor, and that is partly why the economy is so sluggish. How can we buy what you make if we can barely put food on the table and keep a roof over our heads? The gop is proposing even MORE cuts to those that have been cut too much already. Mr. President, enough is enough. You once said in a speech that if we needed you to do the tough things we needed to MAKE you do them, well sir, we NEED you to stand up for the people that voted you into the White House, and if you give in to the republicans again, the toughest part of 2012 won't be figuring out how to reach independent voters, it will be spent trying to figure out how to get Democrats to vote for you again.

I do have the solution to the economic/budgetary problem for you though, and it's three very simple words. TAX. THE. RICH.

Sure they'll get mad and the pundits won't say nice things about you, but what the heck, they weren't going to vote for you anyway.

Mr. President, this is YOUR time to stand up for the working poor and the middle class and we need you on our side now, more than ever.

I wish you and your family nothing but the best.

Sincerely,"
