First I would like to say that we do not need a Clinton or a Bush in the White House as president.

They have shown their colors already. You think back and remember what they have done to make the country poorer and other countries wealthier. According to Dan Burton, when chairman of the House Committee on government reform in Congress, he uncovered the Clinton’s “Chinagate” scandal and their long history of taking illegal campaign contributions from foreign governments, such as communist China, and from companies in Indonesia. Over 100 key figures pleaded the 5th Amendment in testifying, but the committee was able to expose the corrupt underbelly of the Clinton’s cash-for-favors administration.

President Bush got us into a war in Iraq that was not necessary and lied to the citizens of the U.S.A. And now we are up to our necks in debt to every country that will lend us money. With the help of Sens. Lindsey Graham, Ted Kennedy, John McCain and the speaker of the House, he tried to give amnesty to all the illegal immigrants (10-20 million) in the U.S.A. Of course we know the bill did not pass. I wonder what the big lobbyists in Washington were giving them, from the big corporations, companies, hotels, motels, banks and construction companies?

I’m glad we have some good congressmen and women who defeated that immigration bill, and I pray we will put the right person in office as the next president. I hope the next president will be able to bring the Senate and the House together and get this country back like it was before Bill Clinton and George Bush got into the White House. I would like for you to remember that a leopard doesn’t change his spots, so look out for John McCain, he won’t change his spots.

George Bush has not pardoned the two border patrol agents who had the run-in with the drug smugglers, and one of the agents shot the smuggler in the buttocks while he was fleeing back across the border. He had a 100 or better kilos of marijuana in his truck. President Bush let the U.S. prosecutor try them and they were sentenced to 10 and 11 years in prison. There have been 12 border patrolmen killed since 2000, and it is getting so the border patrol is wary of doing the job anymore. When this situation started looking serious years ago, the heck with “fences,” we should have put up huge steel signs that read: “Any trespassers trying to enter the United States illegally across these borders will be shot.” I am sure that would have helped more than fences.

Bush (and others, now running for the presidency) are set on giving 10-20 million illegal immigrants amnesty! Let’s put someone in the White House who will work for the middle class and the poor people, not someone like Ms. Clinton who is bent on making us into a socialist country.

We need someone in the White House who will take care for the poor, many who cannot afford food and a decent place to live, and the middle class struggling hard to just survive -- people born and raised in the United States or those who have come legally into the country and are now citizens.

We will have to seal off the borders with Mexico and Canada and stop immigration for the next five or more years, and stop giving health care and food stamps to illegals. I thought the English language was our official language, but it looks like George Bush wants to make us speak Spanish, and not vice-versa.

I’m very tired of that “good ole’ boy” stuff with a bunch of illegal immigrants. We should give them six months to get out of the country just the way they got in. If they don’t leave, round them up and ship them back with the U.S. armed forces showing them the way. If the Mexican president does not like it, let him do whatever.

The great and glorious United States of America, once the world leader and power, trusted by all nations, is gasping for breath. The wonderful history of the greatest nation shall not die. Will you please help her and let us all vote for a person who can restore us to what we used to be. May God help us.
