Please feel free to forward this message to flag@whitehouse.gov. Perhaps this administration will get the message that there are Americans left out here who are willing to stand up and even fight for our country against all tyranny, foreign or DOMESTIC. While you are at it, maybe you can add a few thoughts of your own, and share it with your friends, so they can be as patriotic as you.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"fragments_home_editor_letter_image1\"<\/a>Dear President Obama, et. al. ~<\/p>\n

In order to save some time and effort on the part of the minions that you have encouraged to spy on me, I am writing to turn myself in regarding your official White House request for people to contact you and let you know if they have heard any rumors and ‘casual conversations,’ or seen any e-mails surfacing against your so-called ‘health insurance reform’ bill. <\/p>\n

Not only have I seen these things, but I have also forwarded them to everyone in my address book, posted about them this blog, other message boards and Face Book ad nauseam and I have discussed them (out loud!) in public restaurants during dinner with my friends and family members. I have worked to expose the absurdity of your scheme to destroy America over the phone, internet and fax when I corresponded with my duly elected representatives in an effort to let them know my views in opposition to this horrific bill so that they can actually REPRESENT me in voting against it. I’ve signed several internet petitions and joined online groups opposing this travesty!<\/p>\n

I have dared to exercise my FREEDOM of SPEECH, (as guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States the last time I looked), in my frequent writings against this bill to deconstruct my way of life.<\/p>\n

I listen to talk radio. Worse yet, I listen to CONSERVATIVE talk radio with the likes of Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Fred Thompson. And to top that off, I actually LAUGHED at several jokes that may not have been as politically correct on this issue as you demand, but at least they weren’t directed at innocent Special Olympic kids.<\/p>\n

Oh yeah… I dress nicely for a member of a mob ~ certainly not as lavishly as Michelle Obama in her $500 tennis shoes, but I’m probably a little more presentable than most of the “entitled” thugs in your “spontaneous” mobs ~ you know, the poor, disadvantaged and uneducated lazy bums you have inspired to join ACORN to train to be ‘professional’ agitators. What’s more I can actually read the signs I make myself and carry!<\/p>\n

OK ~ I’m guilty as charged! I’m a conservative, pro-life, Jesus loving Christian, an active Republican, proud Sarah Palin supporting, white woman. I’m old enough for AARP, but I wouldn’t belong to that group of progressive-liberal hacks for all the senior-citizen discounts in the world. English is my only language. I am a patriotic, hard working, tax-paying American citizen with a certified copy of my original birth certificate, who loves my country with no apologies and I don’t bow down to anyone, let alone terrorist dictators. I support the troops, respect my elders, and eat too much apple pie, so there’s plenty of me for the health Czar to shun in public. People know who I am. None of my records are sealed. I’m not afraid and don’t hide my true self behind LIES or a platoon of highly paid attorneys like you do.<\/p>\n

I don’t appreciate you screwing over America and I’m going to continue to express my TRANSPARENT opinion against your pompous, radical actions in every way I can.<\/p>\n

What the HELL are YOU going to do about it?<\/p>\n

Sincerely,<\/p>\n

A Loyal American Citizen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
