An Open Letter to Congress

An Open Letter to Congress
By Ian MacLeod

Note: I never received a response at all.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am a Vietnam Era veteran, now disabled. My service wasn't particularly distinguished save that I joined up during a dangerous time, a time when such a thing was a very unpopular thing to do. Both of my parents were wartime veterans, as was every male member of my family as far back as I can learn. I thought the war was wrong, I knew the way it was being prosecuted was wrong, but it was still my country - America. I am no longer certain of that.
I don't understand what I see happening, and I am, for the first time in my life, afraid for my country - afraid, and ashamed. Please read this in open session. You may not agree with it, though I hope to God you do, but I think that my family and I have earned the right to be heard, and there seems to be no other way left save for Internet news and blogs; how long those will last I do not know, as this administration deems anything it doesn't control a threat. The government or it's cronies own every other route I might have used, so that I and the many others like me can only be heard by people who already know what's happening, and preaching to the choir is only good for practice.

If you are afraid to be tarred by the contents of this letter, you can always say it's a request from a constituent you felt obligated to honor. I will hope that Is true.

I also ask that you be careful with my name and address, which I know you can find easily enough (just ask me for it): I am poor, in constant pain and poor health, so is my wife, and I cannot defend myself against a vengeful neocon bureaucrat. Even loss of treatment could easily be a death sentence for both of us. For what it's worth, my pen name the couple of times I've been published on the Net is an old family name: Ian MacLeod. If you need it though, ask for any of
my information relevant to your reading.

I swore an oath to defend my country a long time ago; my feelings haven't changed.

Whatever happens to me, if it wakes someone there up, it's worth it.

Disabled Veteran Speaks His Mind

I Thank God you have put together this website.

I am a disabled American patriot and sick of what’s happening to our country. I have just recently sold my home and purchased a trailer to live in. My wife and I did not wish to be stuck in a city or prison camp where we would not fair very well. So we made a plan to move to a secret location away from the masses living city life. This was done because we feared all that is going wrong with our country. This was not our choice for retirement.

But to see your website gave me great hope, it rekindled my spirit and relit my patriotism. “Like I was watching a John Wayne Movie”. I love this country and would die fighting for it. But when I thought I may have to face my own American brothers in arms it was too much to bear. So rather then fight against them I thought it would be best to leave the city. Thinking I will be very low on their radar. This is terrible, something I would have never bet on in a million years.

I thought one day I might have to pick up my arms once again and fight to protect my family and country from those seeking to remove our constitution and our human rights. I never figured into the equation that enemy would be here at home.

Then to see your website brought real tears to my eyes and again made me proud to be an American. To know there are brothers out there with the same concerns has lifted my spirits. That if we band together we can fight the good fight and regain our country and remove all that have infused their corruption and reinstate the truth that our flag represents. And never again let these words slip into darkness.

I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, One Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

God Bless
