To President George W. Bush

To President George W. Bush

Sir:
I have supported you through all the ups and downs. Even today when many people do not want to admit that they voted for you I stand up and say yes I did and I still support him. Now don’t get me wrong I disagreed with you on some issues. But, we can’t agree on everything.
What I would like to know is what happened to my Republican Party? I remember when the Republican Party stood for the common man. You know the little guy like me. When people would say ho no it’s only for the big business guy I would proudly stand up and defend my Republican Party. I would explain how if it were not for the big business we little guys would not have jobs. I would explain how under the Democrats the military was all but forgotten, except when they needed their votes. But, we in the military as a whole knew better. That’s why they never got our votes. But, today the Republicans or should I say the last 16 years they seem more like Democrats. Spend, spend and increase spending again seems to be their new way. What happened to a smaller government and accountability?
So now that I have said this I want to inform you that I can no longer support the national party with my money. If and when the Republican Party returns to its principles I will again take another look but as for now I will be looking for a new home. Maybe the Liberation Party.

Thank You and God Bless
