President Obama: Today I read of your administrations' plan to re-define September 11 as aNational Service Day. Sir, it's time we had a talk.........

During your campaign, Americans watched as you made mockery of ourtradition of standing and crossing your heart when the Pledge of Allegiancewas spoken. You, out of four people on the stage, were the only one nothonoring our tradition.

YES, "We noticed."

During one of your many speeches, Americans heard you say that you intendedto visit all 57 states.We all know that Islam, not America has 57 states.

YES, "We noticed."

When President Bush leaned over at Ground Zero and gently placed a floweron the memorial, while you nonchalantly tossed your flower onto the pilewithout leaning over.

YES, "We noticed."

Every time you apologized to other countries for America 's position on anissue we have wondered why you don't share our pride in this great country.When you have heard foreign leaders berate our country and our beliefs, youhave not defended us. In fact, you insulted the British Crown beyondbelief.

YES, "We noticed."

When your pastor of 20 years, "God-damned America " and said that 9/11 was" America 's chickens coming home to roost" and you denied having heardrecriminations of that nature, we wondered how that could be. You laterdisassociated yourself from that church and Pastor Wright because it waspolitically expedient to do so.

YES, "We noticed."

When you announced that you would transform America , we wondered why. Withall her faults, America is the greatest country on earth. Sir, KEEP THIS INMIND, "if not for America and the people who built her, you wouldn't besitting in the White House now." Prior to your election to the highestoffice in this Country, you were a senator from Illinois and from what wecan glean from the records available, not a very remarkable one.

YES, "We noticed."

All through your campaign and even now, you have surrounded yourself withindividuals who are basically unqualified for the positions for which youappointed them. Worse than that, the majority of them are people who, likeyou, bear no special allegiance, respect, or affection for this country andher traditions.

YES, "We noticed."

You are 9 months into your term and every morning millions of Americanswake up to a new horror heaped on us by you. You seek to saddle workingAmericans with a health care/insurance reform package that, along with capand trade, will bankrupt this nation.

YES, "We noticed."

We seek, by protesting, to let our representatives know that we are not infavor of these crippling expenditures and we are labeled"un-American","racist", "mob". We wonder how we are supposed to let youknow how frustrated we are. You have attempted to make our protests seemisolated and insignificant. Until your appointment, Americans had the rightto speak out.

YES, "We noticed."

On September 11, 2001 there were no Republicans or Democrats, onlyAmericans. And we all grieved together and helped each other in whateverway we could. The attack on 9/11 was carried out because we are Americans.

And YES, "We noticed."

There were many of us who prayed that as a black president you could helpunite this nation. In six months you have done more to destroy this nationthan the attack on 9/11. You have failed us.

YES, "We noticed."

September 11 is a day of remembrance for all Americans. You propose to make9/11 a "National Service Day". While we know that you don't share ourreverence for 9/11, we pray that history will report your proposal as whatit is...a disgrace.

YES, "We noticed."

You have made a mockery of our Constitution and the office that you hold.You have embarrassed and slighted us in foreign visits and policy.

YES, "We noticed.."

We have noticed all these things.
We will deal with you.
When Americans come together again, it will be to remove you from office.
Take notice.

I want full custody of my children, not just weekend visits!
God
