Mr. President, I am asking for amnesty in advance. Since it's clear that you're willing to let felons slide if they're hard working and only trying to feed their families, I'm announcing my intent to turn to bank robbery, and throw myself on your mercy. Please hear me out.

I can no longer make a living in the impoverished technology field in which I labor. My job has been sent overseas, and there is no hope for me. I am too old to be re-trained, and I have to feed my family.

The bank robber voter block is a small, but growing and important constituency that you can't afford to cede to the Democratic party. They only do it to feed their families. In all other ways, they are hard working, honest, decent people who only wish to become white collar criminals.

You can justify any damn thing you want, if you just change the verbiage to make the person sound pitiful. I am NOT anti-immigrant. My daughter is dating a Mexican kid, just back from a trip to Mexico. BUT - he's NOT illegal. Big difference.

These gutless politicians and their vote buying make me want to puke. To all of you out there who say, "You have to vote Republican or a Democrat will win, I say what's the difference in the long run?"

Excellent!

Sounds like we're in the same boat in more ways than one!

How old are you? Why can't you retrain yourself. I have learned a whold lot of different operating systems and programming languages/environments over the last 30 years. It is hard work but rewarding. I'm going on 60.

"amnesty in advance." is only available to those criminals who are willing to buy false ID.

Think ahead if you are going to be a criminal. Get your Matricular card!
