Our Government is funding thousands of people who have never paid a tax dollar into our system in their lives, funds are flowing to war, to stop drugs and to try and help a choice few that are fighting for health and nutrition from the gutters of this great country. But those who have served society and our country don't get a dime or any assistance when we need it. This is telling us that we can give help to immigrants who have never fought to defend our freedom, but not to our soldiers and citizens. Nobody doubts that immigrants have a great need for assistance. The programs that exist to help these people have a very important place in our society and I would not want to see them replaced. Nobody wants to have to choose who gets food and who doesn’t. It’s a difficult task with a heavy burden. On one hand, we turn our own families into vagrants and on the other we spend billions of dollars on war. Both are probably necessary right now. One is getting all the funding; the other is fueling a hatred and animosity that could turn many Americans against the Government and the system. Votes will go to those promising relief from our burdens, not to those who feed the rich.
Our hard-earned promise of American freedom, the freedom that all of us enjoy, is still intact because people like me gave up many years of our lives to defend and protect it; some of these men and women gave their lives for what many of us take for granted.
It could be our fault for not standing up and changing things before it was too late. We do have the power to change the way American works. This is our country; it does not just belong to the politicians.
Our representatives work for the majority, not for the bureaucracy that they are forced to bow down and serve. If we rise as one voice to change something, it will be changed. If you choose not to participate, then you give your voice away to those who do participate. We recently saw how close a presidential election can get, as well as how crooked and warped things get when it comes to politics.
I propose that an immediate emergency fund be created, a safety net for helping the American people before we are completely ruined; not after we have fallen through the cracks into some sewer created by the red tape of our twisted bureaucracy.
I would also like to suggest a continued funding effort to create an organization to prevent this from happening in the future. I am not speaking of altering or changing the help organizations created for single women with children, drug addicts, the homeless or the poor souls that flee to America seeking refuge from torture.
Perhaps what we need is an extension of the programs created during any emergency in this country; immediate food and clothing, shelter and medical supplies, funds and assistance. We do it for 3rd world countries, for countries ravaged by war and for allies; but we don't take care of our own people at home.
There are many ways you can participate in this effort. You can donate funds to help fuel our efforts to lobby for a better America, you can donate canned goods, blankets and household items, you can volunteer your services, and you can supply warehouse space or visit our website and sign a petition. There are many ways that you can make a difference. Please don’t ignore this letter and toss it aside. We need your help now, not tomorrow.
