To Gov. "W"
One of the hardest working people I know, who helps support two small children, got laid off from my company this morning. The industry we work in has been compromised due directly to your greed. I hate you a little more than usual tonight.

That reminds me of a John Lennon song:

How Do You Sleep At Night

You live with straights who tell you you was king
Jump when your momma tell you anything
The only thing you done was yesterday
And since you're gone you're just another day
Ah, how do you sleep?
Ah, how do you sleep at night?

Wow, that is quite a compliment. Not deserved, but thanks.

I don't really know what a letter, open or otherwise, may accomplish when you send it to a guy who can't read. I mean I know they got guys with agendas at the whitehouse that would read it TO him. BUT, after is goes through the filter they would run it through, a letter that might read: "George, you are a dumbass moron, and asshole and the worst president we ever had" would be translated by the staff to read" Dearest Mr. President, we think you are the second coming of Christ, infallable and a blessing to all the people of the nation and the world.". So' I maintain......What's the point? :?

Open letter
From Wikipedia...
An open letter is a letter that is intended to be read by a wide audience, or a letter intended for an individual, but that is nonetheless widely distributed intentionally.

Motivations for writing open letters
There are a number of reasons why an individual would choose the form of an open letter, including the following reasons:

To state the author's position on a particular issue
As an attempt to start or end a wider dialogue around an issue
As an attempt to focus broad attention on the letter's recipient, prompting them to some action
For humor value
Simply to make public a communication that must take place as a letter for reasons of formality



I'm not sure if you are being sarcastic or not? What's the point?

Do you really need to ask why I would want to start a dialogue about the problems our country faces?

Call it a moral responsibility.

I'm quite sure w can't hear me, even if he was listening.

Nothing shot of a blackout or trucks stopping highways will even stir in Bush's mind, that something he did went wrong.

Please let me do what I wanna, I just lay around the house and............ On the news this Am, Amerika (spelling courtesy of Abbie Hoffman) has 25% of the prisoners in the world in jail, many for just that.

Oh,....mommy I aint no commie, but I hate to bust your bubble cause there's gonna be some trouble soon.

it is really A O K to have a revolution
when the leaders that you choose
Really don't fit the shoes[/quote]

Obama winning the election would be sort of an Amerikan velvet revolution.

A young black man from Hawaii how does not deny his past.

Inhale to the chief !!

I sometimes inhale...

I think of how refreshing it would be to see Obama elected in Nov. A dawning after a very dark time.

And if he loses it will be more like a barbed wire revolution.

Well, Jenna Bush got married at the Crawford ranch over the weekend. I heard on the radio that she got a 3 million dollar toaster as a wedding present from Haliburton.

..and I bet nobody said.... "people in the cheap seats clap your hands, and the rest of you, if you'll just rattle your jewelry" (John Lennon). I thought she wanted a low key wedding? How long do you think it will take her to return it? I'll settle for a goose that lays golden eggs so that I can maybe afford to pay for the gas to feed my means of transportation. Perhaps if I do find a goose I think that I will call him Al. :)
