Dear Friend:
Thank you for writing to me. I appreciate hearing from you and value your input.
Each day, I am moved by the messages I have
received from people across the country. Far too many
Americans are struggling--falling behind on mortgage payments, coping with illness, or losing a job without warning. My Administration is working to address the serious challenges our Nation faces. I am committed to taking immediate steps that generate job creation and economic recovery, and I am determined to make investments that lay a new foundation for real and lasting progress.
To build this new foundation, we need health care reform--this year--that reduces costs, protects health care choices, and assures quality, affordable care for all Americans. I encourage you to visit www.HealthReform.gov to learn more about my commitment to enacting comprehensive health care reform in 2009.
I am also dedicated to building a clean energy economy that creates millions of jobs, helps us achieve energy independence, and reduces pollution as we tackle the effects of global warming. Please visit www.Recovery.gov to read about the more than $60 billion in clean energy investments my Administration has made to jump-start our economy and build the jobs of tomorrow.
To prepare our children to thrive in the global economy, we must guarantee every child a complete and competitive education. For information about my education reform agenda, please join me online at:
www.whitehouse.gov/agenda/education.
At the same time, we have an obligation to rein in our budget deficit by cutting wasteful spending and ineffective programs. We can do all this, and change the way business is done in Washington, by building the most open, transparent, and accountable government in our history.
While we repair our communities, we must also recognize the important contributions of our service men and women in Afghanistan, Iraq, and other nations. Our military and their families have borne an enormous burden for their fellow citizens, serving with honor and succeeding beyond any expectation. For those who have been injured or lost their lives in pursuit of our freedom, we owe them our undying gratitude. I am committed to assisting our servicemembers, veterans, and their families and honoring our debts to them.
The only way to solve the problems of our time is to involve all Americans in shaping the policies that affect our lives. I hope you continue to explore www.WhiteHouse.gov, which is regularly updated and more interactive than ever before.
Thank you again for writing.
Sincerely,
Barack Obama
Shadd, Jose and I want to thank the president for writing to us. However, we found the note below to be a lot more truthful than anything we saw above.Poor Jose is jumping up and down trying to read the one from the president. Shadd is holding the letter above his head. He is telling Jose that he won't understand it anyway, because he can only read spanish. Opps Jose just bit Shadd on the tail and Shadd is chasing him down the basement stairs. Bang, Bang what a noise.....Jose went through the cat door and Shadd slid head first into the laudry room door.Boy, shadd is rubbing his head and his tail. What a day it is at the Blackwells. If only we had a new health care law and a new climate control law in place. We would all feel a lot better. Wouldn't you.....But it looks like from the note below we'll have to cancel our trip to DC this fall. Who wants to get shot anyway while having fun....Better move our government to Wyoming or Utah....Maybe even Kansas...Can you imagine how nice it would be to have wide open spaces and fresh air all the time at the capital. The last time the capital had fresh air was probably before Herbert Hoover was even born. Jose just ran past Shadd and up the stairs. Affirmative action is alive and well at the Blackwells....Amen, Jose, Amen!!
Quote from Australian "Shooter Magazine":
"If you consider that there has been an average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq theater of operations during the past 22 months, and a total of 2112 deaths, that gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000 soldiers.
The firearm death rate in Washington DC is 80.6 per 100,000 CIVILIANS for the same period. That means you are about 25 % more likely to be shot and killed in the U.S. capital, which has some of the strictest gun control laws in the U.S., than you are in Iraq."
Conclusion: The U.S. should pull out of Washington DC.
IN GOD WE TRUST.
DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU
