A Letter to your elected officials

To Whom it may concern:

Well it should concern everyone! Most of Americans are having a horrible time making ends meet. Usually the ends don't meet at all. And now it's Christmas, everyone I know, give or take a few people, can't even afford one present for one child. This is awful! Call "Toys for Tots" right? NOT! I have told people the same thing. But unless you know how the system works, you are probably out of luck there too. You have to sign up way early. And how are we supposed to know that the car will break down or someone will have to go to the hospital and all the Christmas money will be gone. I am not down on Toys for Tots, it is a great organization, and they do a wonderful job. There is just not enough to go around. Many people have gone from making $50,000 to $100,000 a year to next to nothing. Or they have no health insurance, and medical bills are eating away at their rent and utility payments. I am writing to let you know, that you can see some of these stories at www.aidpage.com , Americans need help! Welfare isn't cutting it! Instead of Helping Americans, our (Bush)government is bailing out huge corporations, who blow their money on massages and expensive retreats, not to mention $100,000 bonus'. I have never seen $100,000 in my life! I love America, it is the home of the free, the best country in the world, but things are going down hill fast , and if our elected officials don't do something quick, things are going to be very bad. I hate to imagine. Just one more thing, you might find this trivial, but I don't, so here it is, there's not much I wouldn't do for a Pizza right now. How long has it been since you had one, for me it's been a really long time, frozen pizza doesn't count. I bet everyone on Aidpage would love one, if you would like to donate to this organization I am dubbing "Pizza for my Peeps" please send me a private message, and I will tell you where to send it. Thanks for reading.

Sincerely, a disillusioned American

I am going to see if I can find Barak Obama's email. I doubt he'll see it, but maybe someone will. Perhaps I can send a copy to my local news network. I incourage everyone to do the same. Write your own letter or borrow mine. It doesn't matter, just write. Let our Voices be heard!

 Update: I just went to Obama's site, and it's still in the campaign phase, and the first page you get is THEM asking for money.

 in response to Laura14...   It is sad, trucks pay a lot of tax's for the use of our roads, and the Gov. of Texas spends more then what they have so that they increase tax's on us.

 in response to Walter Kingsley...   I am very unhappy with TX as well. I have quit driving now, only my husband and son does. I won't, I can not afford it.

I got a used car in Jan. I received the plates i was waiting for, but i got a letter from the Department of motor vihicles that i had to register my car in March. I thought it was an error on their part so i payed no mind to it. I just come to find out the my car is not registard. It seems that Gov. Perry has set up a law that if one buys a used car, it would be re registard with the old widow sticker. You do not get a new set of plates or a new window sticker. I am stuck with a payment of 72. dollars to renew. Then i find out that they will pass or talking of equal registration fees for tucks and cars. That is a lot of money. Can you emagine paying $300. dolars for registering your car. People have to write to the Gov. here in Texas to change the law back to the way it was. Please pass this on to others. I will never buy a used car again in Texas.
