I have had it with the psychos in our country.  Why is it that cities like San Francisco and Berkeley harbor so much hatred towards the great principles of our country?!  Maybe it is our fault for voting for those who don't effectively support our American principles.  When cities and schools speak out so harshly against the brave youth in our military I want to puke.  I am so sick of the pessimism directed towards the United States, and I am speaking mostly of the pessimism that is generated from within.  We need to return to honoring our country and those who sacrifice their lives and time for its causes.  I am not talking about politicians.  I am talking about those who choose to serve and try to maintain what our country is supposed to stand for.  I am just blabbing on here with no structure, but I feel like my mind is going to explode if we don't unite and call for a return to our country's values and principles.

To Whom It May Concern:

I was surprised to hear my professor announce that we had homework due on Monday February 18, 2008.  I asked for clarification of the day, due to President’s Day.  My professor reaffirmed that we would have class on President’s Day.  I thought this seemed strange, so I looked into it more over the weekend.  I found the academic calendar for CSUB online and noticed that my teacher’s assertions were correct.  I also noticed that the campus was closed in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day and would close for Cesar Chavez Day.

Martin Luther King, Jr. and Cesar Chavez did great things for our country and for civil rights.  However, I believe that their accomplishments pale in the face of those of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.  I believe it is not unfair to say that without George Washington and Abraham Lincoln we would not have had a Martin Luther King, Jr. or Cesar Chavez.  Or at the very least, we can be sure that we would have had to wait far longer to see one of their likes arise in America.

I could put together a large corresdpondence making my point undeniably clear and persuasive, but I will constrain myself for now.  I will only say that this is an outrage on our country.  I cannot believe that the media ignored this situation.  I am now writing this letter to President Mitchell, and sending a copy to the newspapers and the CSU administration.  I desire no reply or recognition as the author of this statement.  I desire action.  I desire movement towards a greater respect for our country’s heroes.

As a citizen of the United States of America, I demand that we celebrate our country!  I demand to see more American flags on the campuses of our government run schools.  I demand the celebration of our country’s leaders.  We are going down a dangerous road.  I will not remain silent until our schools have more American flags on their campuses.  And, I will continue to speak out against the ignoring of those holidays that celebrate our country’s founding and principles.

Sincerely,

A concerned student and citizen.

I am a Republican. I am a Republican because I agree with the principles of the Republican Party. Arnold Schwarzenegger is not a Republican. Sure, he is registered as one, but he does not act like one. I had high hopes for Arnold, but I have been let down.

What I have learned is that you cannot always support the person you feel will be able to beat a Democrat, or any other person for that matter. You must always support the person who is the best. I believe that the best candidate for the Democrats is whoever matches the Democratic party's platform the closest. I won't tell you who that is. But I will tell you that the person that we (Republicans) vote for in the primary should be the person who best represents our Republican principles. Which of the candidates matches the party platform the closest?

For all of you McCain supporters, wake up. John McCain is not the most Republican of our choices. At this point we also know that only McCain or Romney will win the Republican primary. We also know that Huckabee's continued presence in the race is taking votes away from Mitt Romney.

I ask all of you today, to cast your vote for MITT ROMNEY. Mitt is the best chance we have to save the integrity of the Republican Party. Take a step back and look at the principles most important to you. I know that MITT ROMNEY comes closer than any other choice we've got.

We are at a critical point. The future of the Republican party might very well depend on our voting tomorrow. Remember that as Republicans we believe in lowering taxes (something McCain voted against). We also believe in cutting spending (something that Bush has not done, but Romney will do). We believe in encouraging legal immigration into our country. However, we are opposed to granting any illegal aliens an easier, faster, or a more sure pathway to citizenship than those who come here legally. John McCain supported the Immigration reform bill that would have 'favored' the illegal immigrants over those who are trying to come here legally. We believe in free speech, especially free political speech. Speech can be defined in many different ways. John McCain wants to limit our free speech. He did this through pushing McCain-Feingold.

MITT ROMNEY was at one point in time not opposed to abortion. However, he made a change in the right direction, and has been consistently for life ever since. MITT ROMNEY understands the economy better than our other choices. MITT ROMNEY understands the threat we face from radical islam. He has never encouraged a timetable for withdrawal, and will not withdraw our troops until the job is done. MITT ROMNEY has not resorted to distorting facts and quotes to try and influence people to vote for him. He has run exclusively on his achievements. MITT ROMNEY has character.

We must remember Arnold. Remember our mistake. We voted for the guy because we thought he could win. We need to remember that when you vote just because he can win, you sell out, and you end up with something you never wanted in the first place.

I apologize for the long rambling on. But we need to remember what it means to be a Republican. WE MUST VOTE FOR MITT ROMNEY!

Call all of your friends and family and encourage them to vote for MITT ROMNEY!!! It does not matter who you have been supporting. If you feel that you might need to switch your vote to MITT ROMNEY, don't be embarrased. It's okay. Set the example. Stand up for our principles. We can't sell out our principles. We must always remember who we are!!!!!

VOTE FOR MITT ROMNEY!!!!!!! Pass this message on and call all of your friends and family!!!!! Have fun at the polls.
