Dear President George W. Bush

Dear President George W. Bush,


As your second term slowly draws to a close, I am sure you have given a plethora of thought as to what you would like to do with your time. Things such as working on your book building (aka library), talking at speaking engagements, strutting around your ranch wearing your white cowboy hat, or even knitting a nice afghan. Whatever it is you have planned, I am sure the majority of Americans would be cool with the idea of you starting it as soon as possible. Please, feel free to move out of the White House today. I would personally accept your resignation now, as opposed to January 20, 2009. Just be sure to lock the door to the White House on your way out—then lose the key. I don’t want Obama in there any more or less than I wanted you in it.


! It’s been quite the eventful eight years, hasn’t it? The chaos started with the 2000 election when you became the first to ever be appointed (by the Supreme Court) as president as opposed to being voted into office like all the other ones. What an ingenious way of doing away with that pesky democratic election/ Electoral College stuff. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election,_2000


!@ Next there were the events which have become known as 9/11. Some people say you, at best, knew it was going to happen and did nothing; while others say you actually had a hand in it. What do I think? I cannot say for sure, but this country has a history of false flag operations and I think one of them is likely the case. www.911truth.org You took full advantage of this heinous act and gave us:


1. Three hour long lines at the airport; while being harassed and molested by highly paid, under-trained, ignorant federal employees with dead-end jobs. http://www.riflewarrior.com/you_have_papers.htm


2. The Patriot Act; fascism with a pretty name. What has this Constitutional travesty caused? (http://www.backwoodshome.com/columns/wolfe040115.html)


a. Expanded terrorism laws to include “domestic terrorism” which could subject political organizations to surveillance, wiretapping, harassment, and criminal action for political advocacy.


b. Expanded the ability of law enforcement to conduct secret searches, gave them wide powers of phone and Internet surveillance, and access to highly personal medical, financial, mental health, and student records with minimal judicial oversight. “Sneak and Peak.” You have allowed federal agents to enter someone’s home without a warrant, look around for whatever they want and leave without informing the homeowner of their intrusion.


c. Allowed FBI Agents to investigate American citizens for criminal matters without probable cause of crime if an agent says it is for “intelligence purposes.”
d. Permitted non-citizens to be jailed based on mere suspicion and to be denied re-admission to the US for engaging in free speech. Suspects convicted of no crime may be detained indefinitely in six month increments without meaningful judicial review.


3. What the ACLU said about you and the FISA changes: “On July 10, 2008, President Bush signed the unconstitutional FISA Amendments Act of 2008 (FAA), supposedly aimed at “updating” the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). Unfortunately, the law meant to “update” FISA instead gutted the original law by eviscerating the role of the judicial oversight in government surveillance. The law also gave sweeping immunity to the telecommunications companies that aided the Bush administration’s unconstitutional warrantless wiretapping program by handing over access to our communications without a warrant.”


4. You’ve been responsible for the deaths of countless Iraqis and the destruction of a country, based on not just one lie, but several. Several lies that you and your cabinet insisted were absolutely, unequivocally, completely and utterly true.


5. You eliminated posse comitatus with HR 5122 (the John Warner Defense Authorization Act of 2007), which allows you to declare a "public emergency" and station troops anywhere in America and take control of state-based National Guard units without the consent of the governor or local authorities, in order to "suppress public disorder," thus making you and any future president a dictator. With this law you are able to declare martial law for any reason, even if it is because of a natural disaster in another country.


6. You created the new bureaucracy called the Department of Homeland Security. How swell. You tell us that 9/11 happened due to the failings of federal police agencies, so you claim to fix the problem by creating another federal police agency and making the federal government even bigger and more useless. This is the same as attempting to fix termite infested wood by adding more termites…

!@# We have you and your cohorts in Congress to thank for this wonderful economy. If I was a billionaire banker I would be able to thank you for bailing me out, but since I am not…thanks for nothing. http://www.infowars.com/?p=461


!@#$ Thanks for borrowing millions from China in June, 2008 and giving it to the U.S. citizens as an economic stimulus package, just so we can purchase Chinese made products. I’ve always wanted to be indebted to a communist country. Oh wait, I am expected to pay taxes on my wages, I guess I already am, never mind. http://www.cato.org/pub_display.php?pub_id=9110


!@#$% The National Debt has increase substantially while you were in office:


a. On January 1, 2000: $5,776,091,314,225.33
b. As of this writing: $10,622,223,198,682.54


!@#$%& Of recent two term presidents, you come in 2nd when it comes to increasing the National Debt. Ronald Reagan’s 1st term saw an 11.3% increase; his 2nd a 9.2% increase. Bill Clinton’s 1st term saw a 0.6% decrease in the debt and his 2nd produced an 8.2% decrease. Your first term was a 6.9% increase and your second term is projected to be a 3.9% increase. www.treasurydirect.gov


!@#$%&* I won’t insult you about your handling of hurricane Katrina. It isn’t the government’s job to take care of people who were fool enough to live in an area where such a thing could occur. However, sending troops into New Orleans to search house-to-house and confiscate their firearms was a complete violation of the Second Amendment, shame-shame. http://www.gunowners.org/no02.htm


!@#$%&*? You have given us some comedic relief over the years, for which we are grateful. Statements such as: (www.slate.com)


-“Families is where our nation finds hope, where wings take dream.”
-“I know how hard it is for you to put food on your family.”
-“They misunderestimated me.”
-“Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning?”
-"I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully.”


!@#$%&*?! Because of you Americans are no longer above torture. We no longer ask “Is torture acceptable?” We ask “How much torture is acceptable?” Bring on the rack! http://www.hrw.org/campaigns/torture.htm


What a !@#$%&*?!@!#*! legacy you are leaving behind. You should be so proud of yourself. In your old age, you can recount to your grandchildren how you dismantled the U.S. Constitution and relegated it to nothing more than a mere “goddamned piece of paper” (http://www.capitolhillblue.com/artman/publish/article_7779.shtml). After all, it is an antiquated and silly way to run a government.


Well, good luck with all your endeavors in the future and the sooner you get the hell out of D.C. the better!


Sincerely,
Matthew Evans & all other liberty loving U.S. citizens
