Dear Mr. President, Elect
Barak H. Obama, President Elect of the United States of America
This is a good thing when we look at our past and think of Martin Luther King and how he helped to keep the peace in a rough time of positive change. It has been a remarkable process of progress through a generation. The equal rights amendment was a positive change that was sorely needed in our country. And now we can look over those years and be happy with what has taken place this week in America.
Stay in the “center”, Mr. President, Elect, and if you’re left of there, please move over toward the right. Protect our right of free speech. Protect our right of gun ownership. Protect our Constitution and don’t look to change it in any fundamental way. It was written so that it safeguards the citizens from abuses of government but was not written to provide for their every need…..that is up to the people themselves if they are healthy and can work. People getting something for nothing will weaken, and in my opinion, has weakened our country. Promote the ideals of education that teach reading, writing, mathematics, history, geography, the sciences and the arts; and teach children how to form their own opinions, not tell them what opinions to hold. Continue to promote the foundation of the family. Promote the ideal of legal immigration and protect our southern border because it will be your duty to provide for our defense.
I wish you the best because this is my country too.
