Is there any way to nicely tell someone they are screwing up?
Can you email the President and tell him really what is on your mind (without being investigated! lol)?
I am curious of this. I didnt vote for him, so I cant bitch. However, I have many opinions so I feel I should share them with him. Not to be mean but just give him some ideas... cuz apparently congress is not doing such a hot job.
I know Im a woman, not many men will listen to us but I believe Im a smart woman. I believe I have experienced enough in life (short of going to war) to have that right to speak against what is going on in my country.
I do not agree with how he is handling things. I know he was elected mostly because he is black. Now please dont take offense to my using that instead of "African American" because I am old school. I still call the Indians Indians. They were the real rulers of this place and we took that away... I know they deserve to be called the politically correct term... but I am so far from being politically correct or fashionable... so I will state what I feel is what I want to say. I will not use the N word. I have no respect for that word nor to I consider it a word in my dictionary (brain). My kids dont use the word and were not brought up to use it.
Now on to the good stuff.
Dear Mr President,
My my my how you have aged in this short few years. I know you watched Bush and thought it would be childs play and this would not happen to you but it has. So from a womans point of view, here are some words of advice, free of charge, from a single mom to "the person running my country".
Please step back and take a look at what you are doing. I am not blaming you for any downfalls, recessions or anything of the sort. But please do remember what you promised when you were running to get all of the black people and democrats to believe enough in you to vote for you... a man who had no clue what was in store.
I know the Presidency looks pretty from the outside, but it is not. It is snot. ha. sorry I had to throw that in there. Anyways. You have just found out what all the BS & hoopla was about when they all wanted Bush out. I liked Bush. I may be a little bias because I met his daddy and Regan many years ago. I was of course like 8 years old and its a blur, I just know I seen them in person...
I would like to think of myself as and Independent but my x has told me differently because I do not believe in you. However this does not change my opinion.
I am a single mom. Have been for the better part of 16 (almost 17) years. I value my country. I take pride in this place. I think that anyone who doesnt like it deserves a one way ticket out... because I would like to see them find a better place where they can sell drugs, murder people and abuse our children and get away with it like they can here!
But this is not why I am writing you a Dear Mr Prez letter. My main concerns Im sure are like many others. I worry every night when I go to bed about children being kidnapped, murdered and abused. I wonder every day what idiot made up the welfare laws. And last but not least (by any means) I want to bitch slap the man, yes I said man, who came up with the child support crap! Please do not take offense but you guys up there are not doing a hot job on any of these things.
So here are my opinions on what should be done to improve these 3 situations, if you dont mind me stepping on toes for a second...
First and most importantly - our children being abused, starved, killed and molested. Mr Prez, please please please put these people away for life. I know that sometimes people dont get the time they deserve but good lord these are our babies. They are our future leaders. If this is all we can give them then why not castrate every man and tie the tubes of every woman. We should not be burdened with sheltering our children so bad when life is hard enough as it is...
Second - the wretched welfare system. I am appalled at how easy it is to manipulate the system. I do not, have not, nor do I have any interest in doing it but I cannot tell you how many people I know that know someone who is... and will keep doing it unless it is stopped. My advice (thanks for listening) is drug screens, monthly surprise checks and a little accountability. The people on welfare should have to take a parenting class and budgeting class. If they dont get better with money over a 3 month period... then reteach them and take away some of their benefits. If you are able to walk or drive, you are able to work. If you are able to smoke crack, marijuana or cigarettes, you are able to work. If you can sleep around and keep having babies... then you are able to work!!!
Last but not least - this wretched child support system. It is insane, it is stupid and it is very faulty. I think an absent parent should be responsible for insurance for the child. The custodial parent can pay the copays and half of what the insurance doesnt cover (and insurance companies should be able to send a split bill). I think the custodial parent should be given the child support granted at the hearing, no matter what. The non custodial parent should be responsible to the government for paying it all back. If the government gave out this money like it is suppose to be given, less people would be on welfare. Absent parents wouldnt be running because when the government wants their money (like the IRS) they have no problem getting it! So bank accounts or debit cards should be set up for the custodial parent that the money is sent to monthly, the absent parent gets a bill from Uncle Sam & has to pay it. If a parent that is absent refuses to pay it, then they can sit in jail until they get fed up with being treated like a criminal. The kids that they abandon didnt do anything to not be able to eat or play sports. Had my x been paying his support, I would not have lost my home, the 1st one I bought, the one I bought on my own with no ones help. And I would not have lost my car, the one I bought on my own with no ones help.
I am a proud single mom. I choose to be single. I have been in a few relationships, been married and its just not something I want to do because a lot of people dont understand my kids coming first. Some dont even understand what its like to be a single parent. I know everyone has had their troubles in life and I dont cheapen their experiences at all... but I think congress should put our kids first and give a little to the parents who are there and dont abandon their children or take the easy way out and keep having more kids to abandon.
Thanks for listening... oh and I also think single parents should be taught budgeting also. Couponing is also something to teach and make available to everyone, it is a very humbling experience and my kids like to stand there and see when we save $200 on a grocery bill!
Thanks and good luck til the next Prez comes along,
Sincerely,
A Single Mom
