PREFACE

T here is a concern movement in the United States about freedom, safety, family values and peoples fear of the future. Many Americans continues to believe that America is the greatest country on earth. However, due to the incongruity of political parties and what they feel is best for Americans is silencing the people who voice continues to go unheard. Americans are tired of the political gridlock, as they watch attention starved people murder innocents, and government ignoring the poor and young because of their geographical areas and social statuses. During the election season, politicians were forced to listen to people, and respond with reasonable and quality responses. Now that the election season is over, more problems and uncertainty impede the dreams of those believing in the American dream.

Across this great nation, Americans have voiced their concerns, and in this book, they are speaking directly to the government and responsible people in power whom they elected. There is growing disgust in America, and Americans are no longer feeling that their civil liberties are protected or family values. However, it is understandable that every nation has problems, but if America is the best nation on earth, then its political leaders must meet the concerns of Americans with an honest and sincere representation. If you could write a letter to the President or people in government, what would you say? Many of you probably would tell them to compromise, go to hell, or resign. Well, these letters represent some of your thoughts, and bring you closer to the lives of many Americans whom you will never meet but share their pain, plight and discontent. There is one universal language when it comes to peace, human rights, parental rights, and security, that makes us all one and united for a better world. These letters once were the voice of the unheard, now you are reading them, and I know the President, Democrats, Republicans and Independents alike, will soon find the authors of these letters holding court outside of their respective offices.

AMERICA IS SPEAKING, WHEN WILL OUR HEARTS LISTEN

.....Ninety-eight percent of the adults in this country are decent, hard-working,

honest Americans. It's the other lousy two percent that get all the publicity. But thenwe elected them.

Guns and Education

A merica, I am tired . They take prayer out of school, and now the schools are more violent than ever. The government has considered arming school and placing security-trained guards into school that do need more presence of guns. I understand that people safety comes into question, but the threat of the moment is asking teachers to shoot down students they are educating. The problem of murder is never going to be solved, if the society that produces the minds of disrespect and hopelessness in the murderers is not changed. You can arm a schoolteacher with a gun; however, if she is already afraid of the students, she is preparing for tomorrows dangerous world, and then someone hastily is going to be killed.
