The American People

To the Editor:

Obama has nationalized banks, the auto industry and is attempting to nationalize health care. The General Motors bankruptcy resulted in the US government receiving 60 percent of that company. Canada received 12.5 percent. The United Auto Workers, who contributed $60 million to his campaign, received 17.5 percent. Secured shareholders, who should have received the largest share, received only 10 percent. Not only is this his redistribution of wealth (from management and stockholders to union workers), but it is a violation of 150 years of contract law. Secured lenders should receive the largest share. The Chrysler bankruptcy resulted in dealers, many of whom were profitable and happened to be Republican contributors, having their businesses taken away from them. They received no reimbursement and had no appeal. This is the American way?

Our Founding Fathers created three branches of government and a system of checks and balances. Obama has ignored this by creating 33 czars who control vast aspects of American business and society and are answerable only to him. They act independently of Congress. This is frightening!

North Korea is firing missiles. Iran is developing nuclear weapons and has vowed to wipe Israel off of the face of the earth. We are also in their sights. Still, Obama is reducing our missile defense budget by 15 percent. He is also considering not deploying a missile defense system, promised by President Bush, in Poland. It is meant to be a defense against Iranian missiles. He has met with Russia and has agreed to reduce our nuclear arsenal that protected us during the Cold War. Is this wise when other nations are developing nuclear weapons?

His Justice Department mandated the reading of Miranda rights to terrorists captured on the battlefields of Afghanistan. Imagine our soldiers doing this during World War II! He gave $200 million of our tax dollars to the Pacific island of Palau for accepting 17 Uighur detainees from Guantanamo Bay prison. Benedict Arnold would have been proud of Obama’s betrayal of America.

How did this man become president? The American media was in his pocket. They ignored the facts and are still ignoring them. Each day Americans are kept in the dark by the nightly news and liberal newspapers. Facts are not reported. Now, ACORN has helped Al Franken steal the senate seat in Minnesota, and there is a democratic “super majority” in the House and the Senate. If they decide to tax us at 60 percent, institute a disastrous health care plan, pass cap-and-trade or do whatever they want, they can’t be stopped! The only way to stop them is to vote them out in November 2010.

Get involved! Turn off ABC, CBS, NBC and NPR. Spend a week listening to FOX News Channel (61 on Charter). Listen to Glen Beck at 5 pm, Brent Beirs’ news at 6 pm, O’Reilly at 8 pm and Hannity at 9 pm. Your children’s’ futures and yours may depend upon that week.
