Dear Mr. President,My name i.
Alex B.
I don’t want to give you my view on policy.
I don’t want to tell you what you should or should not do. Wha.
I want to do is talk about history. History is what we learn about in school. Washington crossing the Delaware, Martin Luther King Jr., World Wa.
II, and a man on the moon. History is what gives us a sense of pride and honor. History shows us good triumphs evil. History shows us that, “Yes, we can!” “History will be kind to me fo.
I intend to write it.” –Sir Winston ChurchillMr. President.
You are writing history.
It is in your hands.
One day your great grandkids are going to be in school and their faces will light up when they get to talk about the presidents. The question is, what are you going to write? How is your story going to end? Wit.
America as the model democracy, that has the complete respect of the world.
Or th.
America President Bush left us? “The people of the State of South Carolina, in Convention assembled, on the 26th day o.
April.
A.D., 1852, declared that the frequent violations of the Constitution of th.
United States, by the Federal Government, and its encroachments upon the reserved rights of the States, fully justified this State in then withdrawing from the Federa.
Union; but in deference to the opinions and wishes of the other slaveholding States, she forbore at that time to exercise this right. Since that time, these encroachments have continued to increase, and further forbearance ceases to be a virtue.” 1That was a part of the letter the South Carolina Legislator wrote to Congress, declaring their independence from th.
Union.
I would like to point out the underlined segment.
A large portion o.
Americans feel that, in Washington, the Constitution is about as worthless as toilet-paper. Whe.
Americans feel that their rights and the Constitution are being trampled on, they fight for them. History has taught us this. Wha.
I fear today is that in South Carolina and Texas, there is talk of succession.
I understand if you don’t see this as anything more than ignorance. Bu.
I warn you Mr. President. The fact that there is talk, points to the fact that things are amiss. Mr. President, with all due respect, who are you working for.
Your own agnda? The Democratic Party? Special interests.
In who’s best interest are your decisions made? Take advice from the ghosts of the past.
If you are President for any other reason other than being fully devoted to th.
American people, you have made a mistake.“I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.
If th.
American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.” -Thomas JeffersonThomas Jefferson pretty much summed that up.Democrats and Republicans, can they work together.
I don’t understand how a room full of grown men and women, who are suppose to be the brightest people in this land, act like children on a daily basis. How did we (th.
American people) allow such useless, idealist, idiots into power? The Republicans are blaming the Democrats. The democrats are blaming the Republicans. “If our house be on fire, without inquiring whether it was fired from within or without, we must try to extinguish it.” -Thomas Jefferson As you can probably tell.
I am a fan of Jefferson.
I admire any man who can think on his own terms and isn’t a sheep in a herd.
I admire you. But sometimes people forget who they are and where they are from.
All the flashing lights, the expensive plates, the best planes and cars in the world, and all the other glamour that comes with the presidency. The first presidents were not presidents for the glory, the prestige, or the power. They were presidents because they believe.
America could be the greatest country on earth.
And they devoted their lives to see to it, that their kids and grandkids grown up in a free, loving nation with endless opportunities. But also one of individual responsibility. I pray that you too have that same dedication to all the people of this country. From the family living under a bridge in Philadelphia to the Family living in a multimillion dollar house in Hollywood. From the farmer i.
Oklahoma, to the investor on Wall Street. We are all the same. No one person is better than the other. No one person should bare the burden of another.Thi.
IS the land of the free. S.
I close by saying this. Mr. President.
You are in control of this country.
Your decisions dictate our grandkids future. How the world see th.
United States. Mr. President, look into the past, learn from the great leaders before you. The struggles they endured and conquests they had. But also, realize that they took note of their past, and looked into the future. Because the present is tomorrows history, and you cant change history. What will history say about you Mr. President? re-elected, it is very difficult to be worth re-electing.” - Woodrow WilsonI would like to end with two closing thoughts. The first being, Mr. President. Don’t ever lose sight of who you are working for.
You are working for and in the best interest of th.
American People..
You should never forget that.
And the second is a quote by a late president.“If you think too much about being“If you think too much about being re-elected, it is very difficult to be worth re-electing.” - Woodrow Wilson
Do you think this letter is good or sucks. To the President.?
The compan.
I work for is considering not closing on Friday, July 3 in observance o.
Independence Day because one of our departments is open on Saturday. My argument is that the departmen.
I work in is closed on the weekends. This mean.
I may end up losing one of my paid holidays, as we will be open July 3. Does anyone know specific, documented laws tha.
I can show my boss.
Our employee handbook says "A recognized holiday that falls on a Saturday will be observed on the preceding Friday." Whe.
I brought this up.
I was told the handbook can be changed at anytime. Only serious responses with links to support the laws, please.
Texas labor law regarding holiday pay?
I know many states don't celebrate it, but here in Texas it's a BIG thingJuneteenth is black.
Independence Daynot July 4, heck we were still slavesDigga, My boyfriend i.
Ethiopian, and he celebrates it. We are all black, doesn't matter where you come from. That is the problem with blacks, always separating yourself
Black people: What do you plan on doing for Juneteenth?

Ireland are religious terrorist groups. There are others.
ETA, while an independence terrorist group is also catholic in nature. Basically christianity has areas which do not conform to what we expect in life, from paedophiles, terrorism, treating women as second class citizens. I.
Islam this also happens. But like in Christianity is only a part of the religion, and does not represent the whole of islam in any way.Islam was the religion of tolerance 500 years ago, far more tolerant than christianity. When the catholic kings totally took over from the moors in Spain in 1492 they threw the jews and muslims out of the country, or killed them, where as the moors had treated christianity and judaism fairly (for the period at least and in comparison with the christians). The same was true in th.
Ottoman empire. http://www.muslimparliament.org.uk/antiterror.htmthis article above, from 1998, seems to predict a future where Muslims were treated badly, and this has happened. http://www.accessmylibrary.com/coms2/summary_0286-13258954_ITMThis shows there are moderate muslims.One question is, if there are 1 billion muslims in the world, 1/5-1/6 of the world's population, why have they not taken over already. Why is the war being fought by a few small groups in several countries in the west, and by a few thousand in afganistan? Take the population of the victors of WW2 in the present day.
USA has 300 million, th.
UK 60 million, Russia has around 120 million. Hardly enough to compare wit.
Islam, yet they managed to win a war, and wage it. Why doe.
Islam not do this? Why are most muslims in th.
UK law abiding citizens who have done no harm to anyone?lupo, what are you going on about? Jesus was supposedly married for a start. Most other things you have said are very, very biased. Women not being treated unfairly, are you joking?
The BNP criticise.
Islam, claiming wrongly the whole faith is evil, but what about christianity?
There are several questions i would like to answer concerning the "legality" of secession- 1. Didn't the outcome of the Civil War prove that secession is not an option for a state? NO.
All that was proved was that military force could be used (unlawfully and outside of the authority of the presidency) to force states (who had seceded lawfully, peacefully, and civilly) to remain states. Lincoln refused to recognize the Confederate secession and called it a "rebellion" and a "threat to the government" though he never, conveniently enough, explained how this was a "threat" to the "government"2.
Is there a clause in the Texas Constitution allowing for secession? NO. However it does say that "All political power is inherent in the people ... they have at all times the inalienable right to alter their government in such manner as they might think proper." and"Texas is a free and independent State, subject only to the Constitution of th.
United States..." (note that it does not state "...subject to the President of th.
United States..." or "...subject to the Congress of th.
United States..." or "...subject to the collective will of one or more of the other States...")Similarly the Declaration o.
Independence states that: "governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed" and "when a long train of abuses and usurpations...evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security" and"whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends [i.e., protecting life, liberty, and property], it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government"using these as the guiding priciples it becomes apparent that if it be the will of the people THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT NO.
AN.
OTHER POWER HAS TH.
AUTHORITY TO STO.
IT. Doing so would be outside the the authority of the Federal Government and would be an malicious abuse of authority.3. Doesn't th.
U.S. Constitution disallow such a thing?NO. The Constitution is entirely silent on the issue of secession.
It bears to reason however that since joining the union was ever and always a voluntary action that seceding from it, should it be the will of the overwhelming majority of the people, in a civil and peaceful manner is entirely "legal". .
And for thought:.
Unfamiliar with historical or legal details, being largely products of public (i.e., government) "education," today's Texans easily adopt the "politically correct" myths that litter the landscape o.
American popular opinion. Many don't even know what the word secede means, and believe that th.
United States is a "democracy" (hint: it's not)[8].But public opinion and ignorance won't stop us from suggesting that secession is still a good idea for people who value their rights and personal liberty more highly than the temporal affluence, comfort, and false security provided by th.
U.S. welfare/warfare state. By raising public awareness of even the concept of secession, we hope they might plant seeds that will some day yield a new resolve among Texans for liberty and self-government.
