Provoking A Formal White House Response

mr. president...

when you were elected i, long with so many people
was joyous beyond words...

your fresh face and sincere manner was so exciting...
your eagerness to get started putting this country
back on track after all the damage that had been
done was nothing less than joyful...

if i didn't know better, i'd think the democratic party
lost the massachusetts seat intentionally...

i find it hard to accept that kennedy's seat wasn't
purposely lost...or that BOTH parties aren't working
for the corporations...or that you, mr. president,
haven't been threatened by the corporations to play
ball THEIR way or you will wind up like president
kennedy...i find it hard to accept these things...

why then, is there a nagging, sickening feeling in my
stomach??

i love you, mr. president...i voted for you and
support you in every way i can...i think you're
between a rock and a hard place...if that is the case,
take care of yourself...stay safe for the remainder of
your term and don' t run for a second one...i lived thru
the assassination of president kennedy and don't think i
could live through that sadness again...you have a
beautiful family...don't jeopardize your safety for this
country...frankly, i have a sick feeling that it is beyond
saving...

hopefully, the sadness i feel is because we just
acknowledged martin luther king, whose assassination
i also lived through...it is hard to think of this man of peace
dying in such a violent way...it is hurtful to hear people
say: happy MLK day! what? there was absolutely
NOTHING happy about that day!

you, mr. president, were too young to remember that
horrible day...it seemed as if our great leaders were
being killed systematically...i referred to that awful time in
our history as this nation having a nervous breakdown!

i know you will never see this...one of your staff will
read it and not understand what our country was like
in the 60s...how frightening the violence was to a young
mother with two small children...

i had to have a memory "dump" tonight...how presumptuous
of me to key my concerns to the white house!

fortunately, you will never see this and it made me feel ever
so much better!

good night, mr. president, and good luck!

And here was the response:
