Ol Fred has it Right

Dear Speaker Nancy Pelosi:

I just wanted to take this time to thank you for everything you have done for me the past two years. With what is going on with Congress I unfortunately will not be able to retire because I have lost thousands of dollars in my retirement fund and had to sell my house for about $80,000 less that what it was worth two years ago.

I know the media and many politicians are quick to blame our current President but here are the facts as I know them...and if I am wrong, please feel free to corrected them.

George Bush has been in office for 7 1/2 years. The first six the economy was fine. A little over one year ago:

Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;

Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;

Unemployment rate was 4.5%;

The DOW JONES hit a record high-14,000 +

American's were buying new cars, taking cruises, vacations overseas, living large! But American's wanted CHANGE! So, in 2006 they voted in a Democratic Congress and yes--we got CHANGE all right and you were in charge. In the PAST YEAR:

Consumer confidence has plummeted ;

Gasoline is now over $4 a gallon & climbing;

Unemployment is up to 5.5% (a 10% increase);

Americans have seen their home equity drop by $12 TRILLION DOLLARS and prices still dropping; 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.

As I write, THE DOW is probing another low~$2.5 TRILLION DOLLARS HAS
EVAPORATED FROM THEIR STOCKS, BONDS & MUTUAL FUNDS INVESTMENT
PORTFOLIOS!

YES, IN 2006 AMERICA VOTED FOR CHANGE...AND WE SURE GOT IT!


Everyone keeps blaming the President, but he has absolutely NO CONTROL over any of these issues...only Congress - and you are in charge!!!!

Looking at the record to determine what Congress has done the past two years, you've done NOTHING but destroy the lives of hard working Americans.

You've lied to the public and you are a disgrace to what this Country stands for. I fought for our FREEDOM, spending 34 years in the United States Air Force, and I'm not going to give up that FREEDOM to the idiots in Congress in Washington who think they are "in charge."

Please note that I didn't once mention Democrat or Republican...Conservative or Liberal (until this paragraph)! It doesn't make any difference what party is in charge, Washington is SCREWING the Americans and it has to STOP!!!!!

You'll notice if you go to my website link www.the-rosenthal-group.com my business evolves around waste and recycling. Our goal is to cut back the waste and recycle as much material as possible. Seems to me I could expand our business to include wasteful politicians and recycle them in November.

I've saved businesses millions of dollars with our program...TURNING WASTE GREEN...think it would work in Washington?
