I'VE WRITTEN A LETTER TO SADDY



I'VE WRITTEN PRESIDENT OBAMA TWICE TODAY BECAUSE I'M SO HORRIFIED BY HIS SPINELESSNESS. I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT HE'S THINKING BUT I KNOW HE NEEDS TO HEAR FROM THOSE OF US WHO ARE THINKING. THE WHITE HOUSE CONTACT LINK IS BELOW. MAYBE IF HE HEARS FROM ENOUGH OF US, HE'LL KNOW THAT VOTERS ARE A STRONGER FORCE THAN WHATEVER IS MAKING HIM CAVE NON-STOP TO REPUBLICANS, WHO REPRESENT THE MEGA-RICH AND CORPORATIONS AND NEVER THE PEOPLE. PLEASE WRITE HIM. IT MAY HELP. HERE'S MY EMAIL.

I was shocked to hear that you've adopted a Republican idea--to freeze wages on federal employees so that they'll get no raises for two years. You prefer to shortchange your own middle class employees than tax the wealthiest Americans who own half of the wealth in this country. They aren't hurting. The middle class is.

You aren't even listening to the poll numbers or you'd know that Americans don't support extending tax cuts for the wealthy. So who are you trying to please? Republicans who have thwarted your every move? You aren't listening to the people who elected you. And they won't elect you again if you cave on this core democratic principle of taxing everyone equally. And certainly not giving the wealthiest a break in a recession when the rest of us are in dire straights financially.

Bring back the man I voted for, campaigned for and contributed to. Or switch to the Republican party. You certainly seem more interested in pleasing them than your base.

PS: DUMP MICHELE AND SCREW ME!

WRITE THE WHITE HOUSE: WHITEHOUSE
