My open letter to *

[yellowdogmi]

Mr. President,

On the 19th of April, 2004 in defense of the patriot act you assured the citizens of this nation that warrants would be required for any wiretapping conducted by this administration. Your admission on or about December 16th, 2005 clearly shows that we cannot trust your word. I bring this up because I would rather see America under siege by Al Queda, I would rather have militant Muslims demanding that America adopt the Koran as our sole source of law, I would rather have any of these things than watch our country destroyed from within under the guise of defending it. I would rather see any of the above situations because loyal Americans would rise up and stop that sort of madness, by force if need be. Revoloution in the streets would be preferable to your abominable record of upholding your oath of office. You are currently the biggest domestic enemy of our nation. I have more faith in total strangers than I have in you. Ben Franklin said, “The man who trades freedom for security does not deserve nor will he ever receive either.” I will not trade the freedoms granted to me by our founding fathers for any security that you can offer. I will not trade the freedoms granted to my worst enemy for any security that you can offer. I will accept no more of your hollow promises. I will accept no more of your platitudes. I will accept nothing less than your resignation.


Please let me know of any thoughts before I send this.

1. To my eye, you seem to advocate. . .

the violent overthrow of the government . . .

"revolution in the streets. . . preferable to (Bush)" and "(Bush) the biggest domestic enemy" . . .

This may be acceptable on an internet discussion board, and it may in fact be the sentiment you wish to convey, but I would caution that this is a decisive step for you and your point could be made without the absolutes. I like the beginning and I especially like your conclusion, but I would suggest you sleep on the mid-portion and see if the morning light brings more effective phraseology.

That's my opinion, for what it's worth. Hope you find it of value.

2. hum. i'd think twice before sending something like that to the

white house.

it's okay to vent around here but.....hey, nothing puts a person more on the defensive than being told that they are "currently the biggest domestic enemy of our nation."

if you're trying to get on a watch list why not just send off some emails to friends with various loaded words such as bomb, osama, strike, lincoln tunnel, and whatever else they were blathering about on the cable news the other day (before the weekend began and cable news went to ceased to exist for two days)
