    Ask the president

    More from Citizen01

    Mr. President, We Want to Respect You. Can You Help Us...

     

    Mr. President.  As a 13th Generation Citizen and Christian I am trained to respect the office of President.  That is what the our responsibility of Citizen is.  However, would it be too much to consider that you maybe start respecting the Original Forefather's values and core beliefs when they wrote the Constitution and Declaration of Independence?  Could you possibly respect the wishes of the people of this country today a little more in light of our forefathers intent?  Respect goes both ways.  Please change your hatred for our country.  It's not to late to reverse the damage that you have done and seek towards this county that was founded based on the Jehovah / Jesus based Christian Religion and Bible.  It's not too late to turn back.  The Christian faith is a fundamental loving religion based on individual freedoms and responsibilities.  You must try to be more tolerant of the fact that our nation was built on Christian principles and is made up of Christians for the most part, even though we don't act like it sometimes.  We need to be able to trust you as a leader to, yes, "protect" this country from those that would attack it, attack our Sovereignty, our Democracy, our Way of Life, our Strength, and more either from within or from without.  We want to respect you personally.  We want to be able to respect you sir.  All we ask is that you act more tolerant towards the True American Originalist Idea and the ONLY REASON the Constitution and Declaration stand...they are Fixed Living Documents to set the record straight one time and for all.  They are not dynamic to adjust to personality and trends in values and relativism.  They are set as a fixed living document to establish law and rule to set the fixing LIVING standard for law and rule.

     

    In principal application this is some action items that we might like to see from the office of President of the USA.

     

    1) Please come to grips with the fact that one of the things that made America great is our Industrial Power.  Yes, our manufacturing base.  This is what powers our economy and our future.  Certainly other republican and democratic Presidents before you have ALSO enforced the idea of World Trade, World Economy, and Globalism through Free Trade Agreements such as NAFTA.  This is good for the world but because of our strong credit infrastructure we are only now seeing the real effect of giving the fruits of our forefathers labors to other nations.  Certainly, we are interested in the the welfare of other nations BUT NOT at the expense of our on nation.  We have sent out so many of our jobs to other countries.  We've got to look more for loyalty to our own country than for competition and free market...IF WE WANT TO SURVIVE!  If it was only about competition then we're pretty weak.  If a Chinese or Mexican citizen is only paid a tenth of what we make as US Citizens, it's not our fault.  Our fore fathers died for us to have security and yes, protection.  Corporate greed or profit is not more important that security and loyalty to our country.

     

    2) Please reduce costs rather than increase spending.  Healthcare is only a symptom.  The idea (we thought) was to reduce costs and innefficiencies as result of greedy lawyers and expensive drugs, and services.  We also see the need to try to HELP those without insurance as we are having to pay for their healthcare anyway.  We see this!  However, we DO NOT see how adding costs to support a new governmentalized system to simply manage what we already have ON TOP OF covering those that can't afford to cover themselves...is going to help us.  What we need is BETTER CONTROL of certain OUT OF CONTROL variables such as too many greedy lawyers using our current laws to sue good doctors (TOO MANY)...too much protection for high cost pharmaceutical drugs (TOO HIGH)...simple!  And a sensitve spot...too many ILLEGAL ALIENS that we have to pay for.  Deal with the problems...DON"T ADD COSTS JUST TO MANAGE WHAT THE PROBLEM WE HAVE!  Please!

     

    Sir, we thank you for your time and hope you will listen.  These are only a couple of the MAJOR concerns we have.  Please help us reduce costs and maximize our own countries manufacturing base.

     

    Thank you Mr. President for your time.

     

    American Citizen
