Dear Editor/Message Boards

{Guest Column where applicable and where posting is available. The
truth must be told to the American People—to maintain our present form of
Government!}

Tick tock, tick tock! America must begin to vigorously address the
problems concerning the American people. Otherwise, our greatest threat
of terror could come from within our own boarders.

Many Americans are dissatisfied with the direction our nation is
headed. They are being ignored by elected officials. While America's news
media reports tabloid type news stories----that is of little interest to
ordinary American Citizens!

Tick Tock, Tick Tock! Americans are angry because their jobs and the
future of their children success--are going to India and other foreign
nations. Our public schools are falling apart, citizens are being abused
and dying at the hands of law enforcement. While elected officials
turn their head the other way, and approve The Patriot Act behind closed
doors!

Our constitutional rights are being taken away, veterans are losing
their benefits, and citizens are being divided by political party
labels—as never before. While Freedom of the Press and Freedom of Speech are
being suppressed--that could lead to another civil war.

Statistics show that there is still discrimination towards America’s
Blacks in top management positions. While crime, violence, and drugs are
allowed to run rampart across our nation.

America is spending billions of dollars in Iraq. It has been reported
that toxic waste is (now), being brought into America from foreign
nations with a life expectancy of perhaps millions of years----into the
future.

We continuously give billions of dollars to Israel that is used to keep
the Middle East conflict going. We have failed to keep immigrants from
crossing the boarders from Mexico. In addition, we declared war on
poverty, illiteracy, drugs, terrorism, hate crimes, and violence---yet
things have become worst.

Tick tock, tick tock—our democracy seems to be in great decline, and
could be on the brink of a war from within. This threat is real
---because many American citizens refuse to vote! Especially since our President
was selected into office by the Supreme Court instead of---by the
American people.

All Americans, must remember the words of President Abraham Lincoln:
“IT IS RATHER FOR US TO BE HERE DEDICATED TO THE GREAT TASK REMAINING
BEFORE US---THAT THESE HONORED DEAD WE TAKE INCREASED DEVOTION TO THAT
CAUSE TO WHICH THEY GAVE THE LAST FULL MEASURE OF DEVOTION---THAT WE HERE
HIGHLY RESOLVE THAT THESE DEAD SHLL NOT HAVE DIED IN VAIN—THAT THIS
NATION, UNDER GOD, SHALL NAVE A NEW BIRTH OF FREEDOM---AND THAT GOVERNMENT
OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE, AND FOR THE PEOPLE, SHALL NOT PERISH FROM
THE EARTH.” Peace!

Force!
Single Parent, Black African American, and patriot beyond words, and
game playing!
