Glenn Beck: The Letter - The Firearms Forum

It's long but good.

June 16, 2009 - 11:40 ET

GLENN: I got a letter from a man in Arizona. He writes an open letter to our nation's leadership: I'm a home grown American citizen, 53, registered Democrat all my life. Before the last presidential election I registered as a Republican because I no longer felt the Democratic Party represents my views or works to pursue issues important to me. Now I no longer feel the Republican Party represents my views or works to pursue issues important to me. The fact is I no longer feel any political party or representative in Washington represents my views or works to pursue the issues important to me. There must be someone. Please tell me who you are. Please stand up and tell me that you are there and that you're willing to fight for our Constitution as it was written. Please stand up now. You might ask yourself what my views and issues are that I would horribly feel so disenfranchised by both major political parties. What kind of nut job am I? Will you please tell me?

Well, these are briefly my views and issues for which I seek representation:

One, illegal immigration. I want you to stop coddling illegal immigrants and secure our borders. Close the underground tunnels. Stop the violence and the trafficking in drugs and people. No amnesty, not again. Been there, done that, no resolution. P.S., I'm not a racist. This isn't to be confused with legal immigration.

Two, the TARP bill, I want it repealed and I want no further funding supplied to it. We told you no, but you did it anyway. I want the remaining unfunded 95% repealed. Freeze, repeal.

Three: Czars, I want the circumvention of our checks and balances stopped immediately. Fire the czars. No more czars. Government officials answer to the process, not to the president. Stop trampling on our Constitution and honor it.

Four, cap and trade. The debate on global warming is not over. There is more to say.

Five, universal healthcare. I will not be rushed into another expensive decision. Don't you dare try to pass this in the middle of the night and then go on break. Slow down!

Six, growing government control. I want states rights and sovereignty fully restored. I want less government in my life, not more. Shrink it down. Mind your own business. You have enough to take care of with your real obligations. Why don't you start there.

Seven, ACORN. I do not want ACORN and its affiliates in charge of our 2010 census. I want them investigated. I also do not want mandatory escrow fees contributed to them every time on every real estate deal that closes. Stop the funding to ACORN and its affiliates pending impartial audits and investigations. I do not trust them with taking the census over with our taxpayer money. I don't trust them with our taxpayer money. Face up to the allegations against them and get it resolved before taxpayers get any more involved with them. If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, hello. Stop protecting your political buddies. You work for us, the people. Investigate.

Eight, redistribution of wealth. No, no, no. I work for my money. It is mine. I have always worked for people with more money than I have because they gave me jobs. That is the only redistribution of wealth that I will support. I never got a job from a poor person. Why do you want me to hate my employers? Why ‑‑ what do you have against shareholders making a profit?

Nine, charitable contributions. Although I never got a job from a poor person, I have helped many in need. Charity belongs in our local communities, where we know our needs best and can use our local talent and our local resources. Butt out, please. We want to do it ourselves.

Ten, corporate bailouts. Knock it off. Sink or swim like the rest of us. If there are hard times ahead, we'll be better off just getting into it and letting the strong survive. Quick and painful. Have you ever ripped off a Band‑Aid? We will pull together. Great things happen in America under great hardship. Give us the chance to innovate. We cannot disappoint you more than you have disappointed us.

Eleven, transparency and accountability. How about it? No, really, how about it? Let's have it. Let's say we give the buzzwords a rest and have some straight honest talk. Please try ‑‑ please stop manipulating and trying to appease me with clever wording. I am not the idiot you obviously take me for. Stop sneaking around and meeting in back rooms making deals with your friends. It will only be a prelude to your criminal investigation. Stop hiding things from me.

Twelve, unprecedented quick spending. Stop it now.

Take a breath. Listen to the people. Let's just slow down and get some input from some non-politicians on the subject. Stop making everything an emergency. Stop speed reading our bills into law. I am not an activist. I am not a community organizer. Nor am I a terrorist, a militant or a violent person. I am a parent and a grandparent. I work. I'm busy. I'm busy. I am busy, and I am tired. I thought we elected competent people to take care of the business of government so that we could work, raise our families, pay our bills, have a little recreation, complain about taxes, endure our hardships, pursue our personal goals, cut our lawn, wash our cars on the weekends and be responsible contributing members of society and teach our children to be the same all while living in the home of the free and land of the brave.

I entrusted you with upholding the Constitution. I believed in the checks and balances to keep from getting far off course. What happened? You are very far off course. Do you really think I find humor in the hiring of a speed reader to intelligently ramble all through a bill that you signed into law without knowing what it contained? I do not. It is a mockery of the responsibility I have entrusted to you. It is a slap in the face. I am not laughing at your arrogance. Why is it that I feel as if you would not trust me to make a single decision about my own life and how I would live it but you should expect that I should trust you with the debt that you have laid on all of us and our children. We did not want the TARP bill. We said no. We would repeal it if we could. I am sure that we still cannot. There is such urgency and recklessness in all of the recent spending.

From my perspective, it seems that all of you have gone insane. I also know that I am far from alone in these feelings. Do you honestly feel that your current pursuits have merit to patriotic Americans? We want it to stop. We want to put the brakes on everything that is being rushed by us and forced upon us. We want our voice back. You have forced us to put our lives on hold to straighten out the mess that you are making. We will have to give up our vacations, our time spent with our children, any relaxation time we may have had and money we cannot afford to spend on you to bring our concerns to Washington. Our president often knows all the right buzzword is unsustainable. Well, no kidding. How many tens of thousands of dollars did the focus group cost to come up with that word? We don't want your overpriced words. Stop treating us like we're morons.

We want all of you to stop focusing on your reelection and do the job we want done, not the job you want done or the job your party wants done. You work for us and at this rate I guarantee you not for long because we are coming. We will be heard and we will be represented. You think we're so busy with our lives that we will never come for you? We are the formerly silent majority, all of us who quietly work , pay taxes, obey the law, vote, save money, keep our noses to the grindstone and we are now looking up at you. You have awakened us, the patriotic spirit so strong and so powerful that it had been sleeping too long. You have pushed us too far. Our numbers are great. They may surprise you. For every one of us who will be there, there will be hundreds more that could not come. Unlike you, we have their trust. We will represent them honestly, rest assured. They will be at the polls on voting day to usher you out of office. We have canceled vacations. We will use our last few dollars saved. We will find the representation among us and a grassroots campaign will flourish. We didn't ask for this fight. But the gloves are coming off. We do not come in violence, but we are angry. You will represent us or you will be replaced with someone who will. There are candidates among us when he will rise like a Phoenix from the ashes that you have made of our constitution.

Democrat, Republican, independent, libertarian. Understand this. We don't care. Political parties are meaningless to us. Patriotic Americans are willing to do right by us and our Constitution and that is all that matters to us now. We are going to fire all of you who abuse power and seek more. It is not your power. It is ours and we want it back. We entrusted you with it and you abused it. You are dishonorable. You are dishonest. As Americans we are ashamed of you. You have brought shame to us. If you are not representing the wants and needs of your constituency loudly and consistently, in spite of the objections of your party, you will be fired. Did you hear? We no longer care about your political parties. You need to be loyal to us, not to them. Because we will get you fired and they will not save you. If you do or can represent me, my issues, my views, please stand up. Make your identity known. You need to make some noise about it. Speak up. I need to know who you are. If you do not speak up, you will be herded out with the rest of the sheep and we will replace the whole damn congress if need be one by one. We are coming. Are we coming for you? Who do you represent? What do you represent? Listen. Because we are coming. We the people are coming.

Well that about covers it, don't you think?

I bet there sitting in Washington just laughing saying that this idiot thinks he can make a difference. Well they should stop laughing because this guy can't alone but with a few million other Americans that feel the same way we can and eventually will.

I am sure something like this was said to the British a couple hundred years or so ago. If we group together and stand as one hopefully we can peacefully vote our way to a resolution and get America back on track. If not well I am afraid to say that most 3rd grade history students could take a good guess of what else is possible.

Printed 3 copys. Writing a hand written cover letter and sending it to my Congresscritters when I send out my bills today. This letter covers almost everyone of my phone calls since last October.

You should really just tell us how you feel. No need to hold back on our account(haha)

Amen!!!, I only wish the people of America would get the nerve to run all these turkeys out of office, but i doubt it. Talking about it dont do no good, and people seem to be okay with the status quo. We probably need to hit the bottom to wake-em up.

Well, I agree 100% with that letter. It is right dead on accurate!!!!

but that's just my O

MrGreenJeans · 06-18-2009, 07:16 PM

I,am afraid they could be a lot of red before this is ever fixed, and not from camo hats but blue hats. Somewhere in the near future we will see troops not of our own creed on our soil. Maybe just maybe they will wake up. I do wish for a brighter future for our beloved republic for which it should be called. Just my o . I was watching the show when it was aired that kinda ballza is what we need more of. It will be ignored in wash, you can bet on it.

Hey bcj1755, would it be safe to assume you aren't a Democrat?

You crack me up! Just call 'em like you see 'em.

You are in good company on all those lists, you should be proud.

On this subject and regarding our posts, found this on WND this AM.http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=101348 seems they are already trying to root us out about our postings. For some odd reason the ACLU seems to be on our side at least in Nevada. They seem to be a renagade chapter out of sink with the national ACLU.

bcj1755 · 06-19-2009, 10:26 AM

Besides a description of taxes as a "scam" and a description of prosecutors as "Nazis," a review by WND of the postings revealed no direct threats.

How is calling taxes a scam and calling the feds Nazis wrong? IMO, taxes ARE a scam and a lot of feds DO have a Nazi complex going on.

So now since I said that, i guess Feddie the Fed wants my name, address, IP, phone number, etc etc.

That is the denomination on the currency is it not? How can they charge him with a crime? If I try to get someone to let my silver 1952 half dollar buy more than $.50 worth of goods, that isn't right. So how can.........oh never mind, we're dealing with Fedzilla here.

That bottom is coming more quickly all the time. Yes they all need to go.

Talking is how we spread information and encourage others to get out of their comfort zones and take action.

The letter was on target and the writer did an excellent job of voicing his views. We need more of that in the public spotlight.

jondar · 06-26-2009, 12:01 PM

Those of you who have read A. Soltzenitzen's (sp??) book titled "The Gulag Archipeligo" may remember his words when he thinks back on the arrests of the people who were sent to the Gulags, which went: (and i'm sure I'm paraphrasing) "I wonder how the situation would have ended if, instead of waiting for them, cowering in a corner and submitting without a struggle, we had waited for them in force, overpowered them, and they would never have been seen alive again".

Talking about it dont do no good, and people seem to be okay with the status quo. We probably need to hit the bottom to wake-em up. __________________ "The 2nd Amendment is my "concealed carry permit"" Ted Nugent

Somewhere in the near future we will see troops not of our own creed on our soil. Maybe just maybe they will wake up. I do wish for a brighter future for our beloved republic for which it should be called. Just my o . I was watching the show when it was aired that kinda ballza is what we need more of. It will be ignored in wash, you can bet on it. Last edited by MrGreenJeans; 06-18-2009 at 07:27 PM..

For some odd reason the ACLU seems to be on our side at least in Nevada. They seem to be a renagade chapter out of sink with the national ACLU.

Soltzenitzen's (sp??) book titled "The Gulag Archipeligo" may remember his words when he thinks back on the arrests of the people who were sent to the Gulags, which went: (and i'm sure I'm paraphrasing) "I wonder how the situation would have ended if, instead of waiting for them, cowering in a corner and submitting without a struggle, we had waited for them in force, overpowered them, and they would never have been seen alive again".
