12 THINGS WE CAN DEMAND IF WE UNITE
- Demand term limits. If good enough for President (2 terms) should be good enough for Congress.
- Demand ALL laws applied to the people, should also apply to member of Congress
- Repeal Congress' right to vote themselves pay raises.
- Demand the federal budget be balanced.
- Demand the Congress pay into Social Security.
- Demand that only those that paid into Social Security, can draw from it.
- Demand that Congress get their own 401k. Now they get salary for life after serving only one term.
- Demand that Congress pay for the own insurance premiums.
- Throw out ALL those in Congress that didn't bother reading the largest spending bill in history before
voting for it.
- Take all money saved from above and take care of veterans past and present.
- Make English the official language of USA. Fifty three African nations have already this.
- Abolish Electoral College and let people elect the President.

The President of the United States
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20500
Dear Mr. President,
I am appalled that you bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia! We are a sovereign nation and bow
to no one! The following letter, which I received as an email, expresses my sentiments a lot
better than I could. I don’t know who actually wrote it, but he ought to be given an award. You
have NO idea what being an American is. You are tearing my country apart.
Dear Mr. President,
You don't speak for me.
When you go to Europe and say that Americans are "arrogant, dismissive and derisive" of our
allies, you don't speak for me. When you pander to foreign leaders, presuming to speak on
behalf of all Americans, apologizing for the actions of President Bush, you don't speak for me.
When you desperately try to surrender to the French and the Germans, the Russians and the
Saudis, and even our great friends in the U.K., just for the sake of maintaining your "Messiah"
image, you don't speak for me.
You and your wife may not be proud of America, but I am, sir.
The Europeans seem to have forgotten who saved their collective asses in World War II, but I
haven't. I haven't forgotten the tens of thousands of American fighting men who spilled their
blood all across Europe to stop a murderous psychopath and his rampaging army. And I haven't
forgotten the tens of thousands more who served in theater after that war, when the threat of
Soviet advance through the Fulda Gap was ever present. I haven't forgotten, because I was
there, for a time, anyway. I saw the obscenity of the Berlin Wall. I saw what happened to people
who tried to escape communist Germany by climbing it, or trying to navigate the surrounding
mine fields. I occasionally patrolled that border, mirroring Soviet or Czech patrols. And I
remember watching on TV, crying as the wall was finally torn down.
I love Germany and England (France, not so much) and was ready to put my life on the line to
defend them. So were the men I served with. Many Americans continue to serve across Europe
in the military uniform of the United States, more willing, apparently, than many Europeans
themselves, to preserve the freedom there that we have already paid for with our blood. I spent
my money all over Europe, helping those economies flourish and grow, as did many other
American servicemen and women who lived and served there. My only thanks was a very small
paycheck, some wonderful memories and the knowledge that I was doing something worthwhile
that I could be proud of for the rest of my life. I was, until today.
And then some pandering politician comes along and apologizes for all of that. You never served
your country in military uniform, sir, so you wouldn't know how positively insulting that is. In
fact, you've never done anything for this country but run for office. You won the election and
still you're running a campaign instead of acting like the leader of our great nation. And I don't
like it one bit.
I want peace. I want it for my family, for my friends and for my country. I've earned it and will
continue to do so until the day I die. I want peace with Russia and China, even Iran and North
Korea, if it were somehow possible. I want there to be a free exchange of ideas and trade goods
and tourism between all of our nations.
But the difference between you and I, sir, is that I would never sell out my country to gain their
applause. Maybe you think you're earning their respect and admiration by being weak and
apologetic, but I know better. The only thing you did was weaken my country. And I won't
forget it.
I am proud of my country and not even the President of the United States can take that away
from me.
Sir, you must stop bankrupting my country and taking it down a road to Socialism. You and the
Democrats are tearing this country apart.
Regards
Dale Bishop
