If you do I hope you will also take some time to encourage at least two friends to do the same. Thanks:
Mr. President,
I trust that this communication finds you and the First Lady well.
I’d like to congratulation you on the fine speech you delivered the other evening. As I listened to your words, I could not help but compare their sincerity with the increasingly shrill rhetoric of those who have continually attacked you since taking office.
I know you are a man of conviction, a man who follows his principles and not polls; in short, a statesman, and not a politician. I am thankful for that in my daily prayers.
Least your staff become disheartened by the increasing volume and direction of the attacks, I would remind them that “we” elected you to lead us in this time of great peril. When I say “we”, I mean the common everyday Americans who simply go about our daily lives without becoming swept up by surreptitious political agenda or fear of our government. No matter how imperfect our current elected government is, it is “we” who chose it.
We did not elect the journalists who manufacture news and polls to suit their political agenda. Nor did we elect the single issue advocates or talk show hosts who market conservative values for profit. Although they each claim to know the secret to make our government perfect, they do not have the courage of their convictions to run for office and affect change. Instead they attempt to circumvent “our” will and the election process through demands, threats, cajoling, creating dissent and claiming to speak for “us”.
These people do not represent your base, any more then they represent “we” the people.
Stand firm and proud, you are doing a fine job.
God Bless.
Yes, it is absolutely a Beautiful letter and I send one or two a month encouraging him and letting him know people agree with him. Thank you
Pray for W and Our Troops
The president doesn't represent the people who voted for him. That's not the "We" the Constitution references. "W" doesn't stand for "We" either.
The Constitution doesn't allow for the tyranny of the majority over the minority. Bush only got half of the vote. Heck, Clinton never even got that. Even if both had won Reagan landslides, they would still have to answer to the Constitution, not the wishes of the American people.
That is why we are a Republic, not a democracy. The House of Representatives is the "people's" direct voice in government, not the President.
