Dear Mr. President.
I know you are under a tremendous amount of pressure these
days; seems like everything you touch turns to crap and your polling numbers are
falling faster than a lead balloon. And
now, in the middle of all your woes, there is this huge debt issue hanging over
your head and the tea party Republicans’ unwillingness to roll over on the debt
ceiling thing is threatening a financial meltdown and certain economic
catastrophe.
So I want to offer you a word of encouragement and make a
little suggestion. Since those pesky
Republicans seem bent on a balanced budget amendment to the constitution, why
not just agree with them on that point and let them take it to the people. I don’t see where that would make any
difference and you could benefit from the bump in your approval ratings that
are sure to come when the people are deceived into thinking that you are
serious about reaching a compromise for the good of the country.
You should not fear a balanced budget amendment. You have no respect for the constitution
anyway and in fact, already hold much of the archaic document and the
amendments in contempt. Furthermore, your
administration is engaging in warfare against the people’s rights as
articulated in the first, second, fourth, ninth, tenth, eleventh, fourteenth, seventeenth, and
perhaps other amendments so the passage of this stupid, new amendment seems an
insignificant little bone to throw to an unsuspecting and ignorant
populace. Those of us who are more
informed already know that you, your administration, the courts, and even
congress have no desire or intention to let a little annoying constitutional
law stop any of you from your corrupt, despotic, and illegal rule.
So just let them take their proposed amendment to the peopIe. There is always a chance that it will not be
ratified but, if it is, they will soon forget all about it and you can just
ignore it like you do the rest of our laws.
I hope you will consider this friendly suggestion; I’m just doing my
part to help you out.
Sincerely,
Ralph M. Petersen
