Hello
I sent this letter to President Obama by fax the other day.
Dear President Obama
I come to you today to praise you and to criticize you and to petition you.
I want to tell you a true story which just happened a few days ago. I
came into this world 4 years after World War II. When I grew up partly
in New York City and Partly in Nassau Country New York, as a young boy I
would watch Meet the Press. I watched this show as a boy of 6 or 7. I
watched the people of the era talk about the issues. I also watched Mike
Wallace's You are there as well. I recall seeing other programs about
famous people. I saw newsreels of a man who wore a white sheet. NO! not
that kind of white sheet! Mohandas Gandhi, wore a white sheet of cotton.
Why did Gandhi wear white sheets? He wanted to set an example for his
people to make their own cloth and not buy goods from his oppressors who
occupied his country.
He appeared a modern day Moses, but of another religion. I have a number
of heroes like Gandhi. Most of them died, except for Nelson Mandela and
Bishop Desmond Tutu. Considering myself a Jewish person, I find that
good that people from other religions and other people's can serve as
examples for heroes as it tends to unite people of different
backgrounds. Each of these heroes, Moses, Martin Luther King Jr., Cesar
Chavez, Nelson Mandela, Bishop Tutu eventually brought their oppressors
down by not cooperating with their oppressors.
The other day, I spoke to the great grandson of Mohandas Gandhi. I had
sought to speak to his father, the grandson of Mohandas Gandhi. I never
expected to ever speak to anyone in this family of Gandhi. I told him
that I thanked his great grandfather for his work and that he inspired
me as I used to see newsreels of his great grandfather during the 1950's
and 1960's and especially using boycotts to eventually uniting his
people of India to eject their oppressors out of their country. I told
Gandhi's great grandson of my electronic PAMPHLET on the web and again
thanked him and said good day.
Now, I say to you Mr. President, that I want a real populist President
similar to Franklin Delano Roosevelt and I and other people will make
you do it, just like FDR told his supporters to make him do what they
wanted him to do.
So in the tradition and inspiration of Moses and Cesar Chavez and Martin
Luther King Jr. and Nelson Mandela and Bishop Desmond Tutu and their
people I say to you again we will make you do it.
How? By boycotting the products of those of your friends in corporations
who donated money to you, and donated money to Republicans and to
conservatives in the Democratic party who have led this country down a
path to the second great depression. The only reason that we have not
descended further appears that we had citizens back about 77 years ago
who made FDR do it and had good regulations in place today that the
conservatives in both parties want to repeal. So from now on I will no
longer donate money to the Democratic party although I remain a member.
Again I will not buy products from major companies that donate money to
conservatives in both parties and I will demand progressive legislation
that really helps the poor and middle class people instead of the
undeserving wealthy at this point of crisis in our country, of the CEOs
that run those companies and until that happens they will lose business
from me and many other people such that we will put pressure on those
CEOs to help get us the legislation that we want.
I agreed with the bailout of the banks and the partial nationalization
of GM and Chrysler but now it appears OUR turn such that we get a $10 an
hour minimum wage, a passage of the employee free choice act, a passage
of the women's freedom of choice act, a passage of a compromise SINGLE
PAYER PUBLIC OPTION paid for by general taxes which will allow private
health insurance but in which those who choose this new single payer
public option will have no premiums, no copayments, no yearly
deductibles, no recisions, no rejection for preexisting conditions and
cover everything: doctors visits, surgery, hospital stays, abortion,
dentistry, eye care, nursing home and hospice care and home care and it
will serve as a health insurance EXODUS so that the private health
insurance companies will let our people go. We also need to end the war
in Iraq and a way to end the war in Afghanistan but we need to help
build Afghanistan up so the Taliban and Al Qaeda will no longer get the
favor of some people in Afghanistan. We need other legislation that
helps those less fortunate in our country.
Republicans only talk about freedom but they offer us no real solutions.
These Republican corporate masters only offer us FIEFDOM and wage
slavery and a kind of slavery to insurers where they exploit the
economic conditions of those who don't have enough money to pay for
their insurance and not freedom. These Republican corporate masters
offer their middle class and even poor supporters FREEDUMB organizing
them in a rabble of misnamed fake populist Tea partiers for which those
Boston patriots of a few centuries ago would probably say, hey these
Republican FREEDUMB lovers HAVE REPRESENTATION, so what excuse do they
have for disrupting government town halls that we helped to establish?
Really Mr. President, those present day so called tea partiers appear a
perversion of those real patriots that helped liberate our country a few
centuries ago. Do these false tea partiers stand for a living wage? No.
Do these false tea partiers stand for unions? No. Do these false tea
partiers stand for helping those less fortunate in our country? No.
These Recruited Republican FREEDUMB lovers claim that they appear PATRIOTs.
I say NAY, those Recruited Republican rabble appear as
stand PAT RIOTers
disrupting government who attempt to help the less fortunate in our
country. How many times have I seen or heard this Republican rabble
express their contempt for the poor and less fortunate in the middle
class? I have seen and heard such contempt by these conservatives for
decades blaming most of the poor and less fortunate middle class for
their own problems as an excuse to shift blame away from many
corporations who disadvantage such people and also as an excuse to have
government dissolve in the area of social justice.
These Republican rabble stand PAT RIOTers want us to stand pat for their
corporate masters to continue to profit on the suffering of people in
many areas and not just health care. They want us to stand pat and yell
no more higher taxes deliberately wanting the American people to not see
the way corporate governors want to PRIVATELY TAX people with low pay
aka Cheap labor aka wage theft not giving workers in many cases the
worth of their work that they do and suppressing the organization of
people in unions. These corporate governors also tax people privately
with high prices in a cartel working with other corporate governors in
fixing prices so even though you have a few companies in a sector of
products you really have a polyopoly keeping PRIVATE TAXES high in a lot
of product sectors. Yes high prices and low wages function as a PRIVATE
TAXATION system run by private government which the Republicans support
and come from and they have their stooges in the stand PAT RIOT movement
to pose as as populists. NAY!
So next time Republicans criticize our party for taxation in their
miscommunications at election time we Democrats will remind the people
that the Republicans continue to tax us PRIVATELY and raise these
PRIVATE TAXES through POLYOPOLY, DUOPOLY, MONOPOLY, cheap labor and high
prices and that Republicans need to get relieved of their power in
government which they deliberately sabotage social programs through
deliberate deficit creation through oil wars, unjust tax breaks for the
wealthy and cutting of social programs. This deliberate deficit creation
has gone on for 30 years now started by Ronald Reagan the
miscommunicator and it has to stop. The Republicans create a huge
deficit so when they get relieved of power then the Democrat has to
clean up the mess and cannot or will not continue on the path of social
justice or water it down such that supporters of Democrats get angry as
they did in Bill Clinton's time and now yours!
So Mr. President, we will make you promote real social justice and not
catering to corporations in the quest for social justice and eliminate
these so called public private partnerships that these corporations take
too much money from the poor and less fortunate that the Republicans
have done in the past years and until this day and create regular
government programs that do not allow these corporations to leech upon
the public and profit to the detriment of middle class and poor people.
I have seen this in Medicare Part D and Medicare Disadvantage and now
thanks to conservative Democrats we face this in the new health
insurance and Pharmaceutical company enrichment act of 2010.
No more Mr. President. No More.
Help the middle class and the poor and until then, the Democratic party
gets no money from me and in 2010 and 2012 I will go to the polls and
only vote on referenda, meaning I will not vote for anyone for
representative, senator and President. I will stay in the Democratic
party and do what I can to rid us these conservatives in OUR party from
power by peaceful means through boycotts of consumers products of their
contributors that give them money and convince other Democrats to also
boycott these contributors to conservatives in both parties and force
these CEOs to go to congressional leaders and tell the leaders that
hundreds of thousands of people will no longer buy from the CEOs
companies until congress passes real progressive legislation that
citizens want and have petitioned the CEOs for.
In the end, Mr. President we will get this done peacefully and we will
do everything peaceful to make you help us.
In the tradition of Moses, Gandhi, Cesar Chavez, Martin Luther King Jr.,
Nelson Mandela, Bishop Desmond Tutu, we will get this done for social
Justice for the less fortunate in our country. I encourage other people
reading this open letter to the President to organize and petition the
government and the CEOs of corporations that aid meanspirited
conservatives in both parties to go to my electric pamphlet at
http://www.democratz.org and sign those petitions that you see best to
accomplish social justice for the less fortunate in our country. Once
you sign them, electronic letters will go out right away to
congressional leaders and the Corporations that aid meanspirited
conservatives. Do this for the less fortunate! Let our people grow and
to meanspirited conservatives, let our people GO from your greed, high
prices and wage slavery and private taxes and your religious oppression.
So let it get written so let it get done.
Sincerely,
http://www.democratz.org
I created these petitions for social justice. These petitions appear
different from regular petitions. These petitions allow people to
boycott conservative contributors that give money to conservatives in
both parties.
I enthusiastically voted for Barack Obama in 2008. Now I appear
disappointed that President Obama made deals with Big Pharma and the
health insurance industry. This administration looks like Clinton II.
Please sign these NEW petitions for single payer health care HR676 as
primary legislation or for HR676 as the public option.

We can stop the filibuster done by the Republiklan party and also get a
bonus of the employee free choice act too enacted into law. You can help.
It appears very simple. Since Senator Mitch McConnell has nothing much
to lose directly by pressuring him, we go after Brown Forman corporation
of Kentucky who distributes Jack Daniels Whiskey and Southern Comfort
Liquor, who by the way gives money to Mitch McConnell, the senate
minority leader for his campaigns.
Go to http://bit.ly/STOPFILIBUSTERS which link will take you to a
petition demanding the passage of the Employee Free Choice act and also
for Mitch McConnell to halt any filibusters. Oh and when you sign the
petition, emails go out right away to Mitch McConnell and Brown Forman
Corporation from Kentucky. If you can’t pressure McConnell directly
pressure his friends at Brown Forman by telling them you will boycott
their products until they get McConnell to comply with our demands.
Also call Brown-Forman at 502-585-1100 and tell the person who answers
to get the CEO to GET Mitch McConnell to execute no Republican
filibusters for the duration of the Obama Administration and enact the
Employee free choice act into law or you don't buy Jack Daniel's whiskey
and Southern Comfort anymore!
So if you want to end the filibuster by Republicans, sign the petition now.
YOU HAVE THE POWER !!
