Dear President Bush,
PLEASE veto S1348 and restore some order on our borders.
We elected you because you SAID you represented the values and
principles which have made our country the leading democratic
government in the world. We offered EQUAL opportunities for people
to come here, work hard and enjoy the fruits of their labor. We
didn’t offer special opportunities to different groups of people, we
expected them to follow our laws and contribute to the welfare of our
country as a whole. Somehow, over the past fourty years or so, our
politicians have seen fit to grant more liberties to more and more
small groups of people. You have encouraged this by ignoring the
invasion of our county by twelve million criminals. You have
encouraged this with your “No Child Left Behind” act which has
resulted in citizens being required to spend as much as $50,000 a
year to teach children who are: often absent and resistant to
teachers efforts. They do not read assigned background material,
don’t participate in class, don’t do assigned work, don’t study for
tests and don’t do extra credit. You proposed solutions which put
the RESPONSIBILITY for the child’s learning squarely on everyone
except the child. Do you really believe that we are preparing that
child for life? Do you believe employers will be willing to make
these kinds of exemptions for that child when he reaches
adulthood? Well, President Bush, I taught for 35 years and I can
tell you that they won’t.
Lastly, I wholeheartedly supported your position on Iraq. I’m a
teacher at the Holocaust Museum at the Wright Patterson Air Force
Base in Dayton, Ohio. Considering the events that took place when
Hitler began his invasion of neighboring countries and the apathetic
response of the League of Nations (now the United Nations-what a
joke) , it made sense to me that America would have to act to reign
this dictaor in. HOWEVER…………….the Iraqui’s have not done
their part in this war and I’m sick and tired of our boys having to
do their work for them. At this point we need to simply get out of
Iraq and bring our troops home.
Thank You,
Kay F. Hain
