Do any of you ever read the letters to the President at Congress.org?

Subject:
Speaking to our Nations Representatives:

To:
President George Bush

July 13, 2005

Dear Mr.President:
.....This is my request. I would like very much to be able to come to Washington and be able to speak before our Congress and the Senate.
First of all, I fully realize that my idea and request is far-fetched but with God's help Moses parted the Red Sea and Elijah went before leaders of nations and warned them of what God would do if they did not change their ways. He did this ,knowing that the Kings he spoke to could have him executed at will : But he did it because God said to, and with God's help. My point is this ; the worst thing you could say to me is NO!!!!!! But I am sincere in my request. I am not CRAZY I am just burdened about the state of our country and the trend in which it is going.
Please !!!!!!!!! Tell me I can come to Washington and speak to all those people that you have to argue with on a regular basis. I would be honored to be able to meet you and to be allowed to speak before all the reps. Please don't trash my email!!!!!!!

SEYMOUR , TN

8. "I am NOT crazy"
Your comment reminds me of a story that I cannot verify, but it's a good enough story to pass on anyway.

This comes from the bad old days of the Vietnam War draft. One prospective draftee who was also an actor went into fill out his draft registration. He pretended to have a great deal of trouble with the form, and would mark one thing, and then cross it out and put something contradictory in the same place, all this while looking crazily around this office and attempting to generally seem paranoid. After he had gotten everyone's attention to the fact that he was acting abnormally he slammed done his registration form, and loudly declared, "I don't care what they say, I'm NOT crazy." Word was that he never heard from them again, and he had complied with the law and filed his form.

4. heres a good one
Subject:
Supreme Court Nominations

To:
President George Bush

July 13, 2005

Our founding fathers would expect you to nominate a good moral constitutionalist Christian to the Supreme Court. No less. Do not bend to the whinning from the liberal left to include them into the decision making. If they dont like it tough. They need to learn that they are in the minority. If they filibuster, then make them stand up and actually filibuster for however long it takes. If you let your base down on these Supreme Court nominations, then expect your base to stay home come next election.

One Very Well Written Sentence From the Sunday Portland Oregonian

"Other than telling us how to live, think, marry, pray, vote, invest, educate our children and, now, die, I think the
Republicans have done a fine job of getting government out of our personal lives."

7. why was i never told about these?
they are freaking hilarious.

Subject:
Your health

To:
President George Bush

July 12, 2005

Dear President Bush,
We thank you for your courageous stand for righteouness. We bless you as a chosen representative for this day and hour.
When I see you on TV, I notice that one of your shoulders are much lower than the other. May I suggest that you see an Upper Cervical doctor to re-align your atlas? There is a very good one in Austin, TX, Dr. Trish Gregg. Next time you're home, please take care of your own health for all of us.
Whether or not you know it, when one of the two top vertabrae are mis-aligned, your body is subject to ill-health and various diseases. Preventitive care is a must for people, but you in particular.
I'm sure there's a good doctor in DC, also. You can check out www.nucca.org or uppercervical on www.google for a reference.
Sincerely,
a National Upper Cervical Care advocate

Charlotte , NC

10. don't they call those people Chiropractors?
I should write a letter stating concern for dubya's health and asking him why he's always got those mystery bruises.


then i will suggest that he get's his iron levels checked or perhaps his brain for balance issues.

15. Dear President Bush:
Thank you so much for being our leader during these terror-filled years. You have been doing a WONDERFUL job. I am concerned about your health though.


Everytime you come back from vacation, or go to another country, you have a new bruise. What is going on? Is everything okay at home? I now you might not want to talk about it in public, but I am always here for you, if you want to discuss anything personal. I am not CRAZY.

If Mrs Bush or Mr Cheney are not abusing you (sorry Mrs Bush! sorry Mr. Cheney!), then perhaps you have a vitamin deficiency or a balance problem. You should visit a good doctor that can help you, so that you don't fall down anymore. If you need a referral, do not hesitate to contact me!


Sincerely,

Your Biggest Fan, MsTryska.

13. I often go over there to ...
1. remind myself that WE ARE THE REAL MAJORITY - very few of the letters to the preznit at least aren't favorable!

and

2. get a good laugh.

http://www.congress.org/congressorg/bio/userletter/?id=20004&letter_id=380940931&content_dir=politicsol

this guy wants Shrubya to announce that the OLYMPICS WILL BE HELD IN IRAQ! And somehow that's going to scare the terrorists! Oh yea, and we can go vacation there too!


....I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE HEADLINES THAT YOU FORSEE IRAQ FREE OF TERROR AND HOST TO THE OLYMPIC GAMES IN THE NEAR FUTURE. I believe that confidence will revitalize hope in the efforts in Iraq to support our troops. Also it would be comforting to know that ONE DAY IRAQ WILL BE A FREE AND BEAUTIFUL LAND, A PARADISE FOR FREE AMERICANS TO VACATION AND RELAX. Let this bring hope to the American people and a message to the terrorists that would be hit them hard. Good luck in the rest of your presidancy. You have my support.....

16. Advice for Bush (from the founding fathers)
George W. Bush was having a conference with the founding fathers about how he could help his country. George Washington told him to never tell a lie.Ben Franklin told him to invent something.Then Honest Abe told him,"go see a play".:applause:
