Letter to my Representative in Washington

Congressman Shimkus, March 23rd, 2009

I am writing this letter in utter disbelief of what is happening to our country and it’s citizens. I am deeply disturbed by the many tentacles of Mr. Obama’s Marxist agenda for the country (aside from the financial debacle we are in). In the words from the Jimmy Buffett Song “Fruitcakes” and Mr. Beale from the movie “Network”………….”I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore!"

Having said that, millions of Americans are wondering just what the hell is going on? When is congress going to wake up, and stand up to this President and set him straight? America is about “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness” at least that is what the Declaration of Independence says. Mr. Obama and his administration are on the fast track to destroying our American way of life. He is trying very hard to silence dissenting voices, a violation of our First Amendment Rights; he is trying very hard to disarm the people, our Second Amendment Rights. Through the Department of Homeland Security he is pushing for a Civilian National Security Force, which sounds very much like Hitler’s Brown Shirts, I am almost certain that he would support neighbors spying on neighbors and reporting what they hear and see to that Security Force.

Now I see that Homeland Security is gathering information on private citizens and formulating lists of possible “Domestic Terrorists”, now isn’t that special! I’ll tell you right now, I have been a firearm owner for 60 years, and will not give them up without a fight. I am, and have been for most of my adult life a member of the NRA. Everyday I fly either the American Flag, or the Gadsden “Don’t Tread On Me” Flag, on particularly bad days I fly the Old Glory upside down. I use American Flag postage stamps and place them upside down on the mail I send, I also put a “In God We Trust” label on the back of every piece of mail I send. I have what some would consider Libertarian views on some issues. Call me old fashioned but I still believe that an “Oath of Office” does mean something, and that those that breach that trust should be removed from office (elected politicians take heed), I spent over twenty years of my life defending my country, and would gladly do it again if asked. Having said that, I believe that I am a vanishing breed, an American Patriot, If however, these are the things that Homeland Security are looking at to formulate their list, then sign me up, and bring it on.

I am just Pissed John; we cannot continue to let this guy run rough shod over the people, and The United States Constitution. By the way, regardless what Mr. Obama would have us believe the Constitution is not a living document, quite the contrary it is the rock solid building block that has served this great country for over two centuries.

Respectfully yours,
Red white and blue American Patriot
