President Obama:

Today I read of your administrations' plan to re-define September 11 as a
National Service Day. Sir, it's time we had a talk.........

During your campaign, Americans watched as you made mockery of our tradition
of standing and crossing your heart when the Pledge of Allegiance was
spoken. You, out of four people on the stage, were the only one not honoring
our tradition.

YES, "We noticed."

During one of your many speeches, Americans heard you say that you intended
to visit all 57 states. We all know that Islam, not America, has  57 states.

YES, "We noticed."

When President Bush leaned over at Ground Zero and gently placed a flower on
the memorial, while you nonchalantly tossed your flower onto the pile
without leaning over.

YES, "We noticed."

Every time you apologized to other countries for America 's position on an
issue we have wondered why you don't share our pride in this great country.
When you have heard foreign leaders berate our country and our beliefs, you
have not defended us. In fact, you insulted the British Crown beyond belief.

YES, "We noticed."

When your pastor of 20 years, "God-damned America " and said that 9/11 was
America's chickens coming home to roost" and you denied having heard
recriminations of that nature, we wondered how that could be. You later
disassociated yourself from that church and Pastor Wright because it was
politically expedient to do so.

YES, "We noticed."

When you announced that you would transform America , we wondered why.  With
all her faults, America is the greatest country on earth. Sir, KEEP THIS IN
MIND, "if not for America and the people who built her, you wouldn't be
sitting in the White House now." Prior to your election to the highest
office in this country, you were a senator from Illinois and from what we
can glean from the records available, not a very remarkable one.

YES, "We noticed."

All through your campaign and even now, you have surrounded yourself with
individuals who are basically unqualified for the positions for which you
appointed them. Worse than that, the majority of them are people who, like
you, bear no special allegiance, respect, or affection for this country and
her traditions.

YES, "We noticed."

You are 9 months into your term and every morning millions of Americans wake
up to a new horror heaped on us by you. You seek to saddle working Americans
with a health care/insurance reform package that, along with cap and trade,
will bankrupt this nation.

YES, "We noticed."

We seek, by protesting, to let our representatives know that we are not in
favor of these crippling expenditures and we are labeled
"un-American","racist". We wonder how we are supposed to let you know how
frustrated we are. You have attempted to make our protests seem isolated and
insignificant. Until your appointment, Americans had the right to speak out.

YES, "We noticed."

On September 11, 2001, there were no Republicans or Democrats, only
Americans. And we all grieved together and helped each other in whatever way
we could. The attack on 9/11 was carried out because we are Americans.

And YES, "We noticed."

There were many of us who prayed that as a black president you could help
unite this nation. In six months you have done more to destroy this nation
than the attack on 9/11. You have failed us.

YES, "We noticed."

September 11 is a day of remembrance for all Americans. You propose to make
9/11 a "National Service Day". While we know that you don't share our
reverence for 9/11, we pray that history will report your proposal as what
it is...a disgrace.

YES, "We noticed."

You have made a mockery of our Constitution and the office that you hold.
You have embarrassed and slighted us in foreign visits and policy.

YES, "We noticed.."

We have noticed all these things. We will deal with you. When Americans come
together again, it will be to remove you from office.

Take notice.
