THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON D.C. 20510
DEAR MR. PRESIDENT
WITH OUR PRESENT SCOURGE OF PORNOGRAPHY AND DRUGS I WAS SHOCKED TO HEAR
THAT YOU INVITED MILITANT HOMOSEXUAL LEADERS TO THE WHITE HOUSE. AS IF THAT
WASN'T BAD ENOUGH, YOU FIRED DOUG WEAD FOR PROTESTING YOUR ACTIONS.
I ALSO UNDERSTAND CHRISTIE HEFNER WAS A GUEST AT THE WHITE HOUSE AND YOU
ALSO SUPPORT FEDERAL FUNDING OF THE N.E.A. IN SPITE OF ITS' ANTI-CHRISTIAN
BIGOTRY AND PORNOGRAPHY WITHOUT ANY CENSORSHIP:
I SINCERELY HOPE YOU RE-CONSIDER YOUR RECENT MOVES IN THE DIRECTION OF LIBERALISM.
I AM FIRST VICE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLICAN WOMEN FEDERATED IN MY AREA AND
BELEIVE ME I PLAN TO SPEAK OUT ON THESE ISSUES. WE ELECTED A CONSERVATIVE
PRESIDENT AND HOPED TO HAVE HIM BEHAVE LIKE ONE. OUR REPUBLICAN PARTY HAS A
GREAT CHANCE TO TRIUMPH AND IT SEEMS LIKE OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS ARE FORGETTING
WHY THEY WERE ELECTED. YOU WERE PRO-GUN, PRO-LIFE, PRO-CHRISTIAN ( ON WHOSE
PRINCIPALS OUR GREAT COUNTRY WAS FOUNDED). IT WOULD PAY YOU TO REMEMBER WHY
GOD DESTROYED SODOM AND GOMORRAH, THE VERY ORIGIN OF OUR WORD "SODOMY".
I BEG YOU MR. PRESIDENT BUSH, PLEASE DO NOT FUMBLE THE BALL!
THANK YOU FOR HEARING ME OUT.
SINCERELY,

Dear Mr. President,
In regards to the enclosed article that

us to believe that this article is true.
Evidently it is true or it would not
have been written and we understand that
you have fired Doug Wead, a christian
man who devotedly campaigned for you.
We voted for you and had high respect
for you but you have disappointed us
greatly inasmuch as you have invited
representatives of militant homoseful

to a meeting at the White House.
We are also very disappointed that you
supported the government funding (our tay $)

We are a God fearing, retired couple

We are concerned for our country that
it may be God blest for our children
and our 21 grandchildren.

Dear Mr. Bush:
I must say that I was quite upset to hear about the firing of
Doug Wead, from your White House Staff! It appears you are
allowing the homosexual community to run the White House. This
makes no sense politically or otherwise.
As a conservative Christian, Mr. Bush, I continue to vote for
people who represent the family and the values this country was
founded on. Mr. Wead represents the conservative Christian
perspective that, I know, model much more of America than does
the "gay community" that seem to be running your office.
If your reasoning is politically motivated, that makes no sense
because the gays will not support you in the next election
anyway. They will obviously stand behind whatever liberal
candidate the democrates decide to run.
Mr. Bush, please give serious consideration to what is happening
in this country, let alone on your own staff! The homosexals
are a very, very small minority and DO NOT represent America.
America is made up, generally, of pretty conservative people who
DO NOT WANT HOMOSEXUALS BEING THE ADVISORS TO OUR NATIONAL LEADER!

Dear President Bush:
I voted for you in the last election, and I appreciate much of what you
have done since taking office. However, I write to voice my deep concern
and strong disapproval over your precedent setting invitations to the White
House of representatives from militant gay activist groups, thus lending
them regretable credability. I am also shocked and dismayed that Doug Wead
was fired when he accurately represented my concerns to you regarding these
matters. Your margin of victory came from the evangelical community which
Mr. Wead helped rally to your cause. This is a substantial kick in the
face not only for him but for all of us who share such concerns for family
and traditional values and have heard your words to the effect that you do
as well. Such actions, however, raise grave doubts about where you really
stand on some very important issues. We are pulling for you and for our
country. We want pulling for one to mean pulling for the other. Please,
do not disappoint us.
We pray for you frequently.
Sincerely yours,

Dear President Bush:
I am writing to express our sincere regret that you have taken a
stand against the Christian community in our country. It was with
disappointment that I have just finished reading an article about
all of the things that you have done to show you are against the
Christians and the churches in the United States. I could hardly
believe that the article was true, but since I had read these same
end
things in other papers, I wanted to write to you personally and see
if they are true. Mr. President, it was through our votes that you
were elected. The largest percentage of your votes came from the
evangelical community. How can you take this stand against us? Mr.
President, the homosexual community has ruined the life of our sons
and daughters. It has made them into something that God destroyed
Sodom and Gomorrah because of. How can you invite them to the White
House and give press credentials to the reporters for their paper?
And, Mr. Bush, how could you let Mr. Wead be fired?
I am so disappointed in the things that have been done that sounds
as though you are against God and His people. We are SO far in debt,
yet our taxes are taken to provide the funds for sacriligious works
of art. Yet if we refused to pay our taxes because of this, we would
be jailed.
Recently, I had the honor (?) of defending you in a conversation with
an acquaintance of mine because I mistakenly believed that you are a
Christian. I say mistakenly believed, because no Christian could let
satan's forces be used against God's people and their stand for right.
Our country has steadily gone down since the Christian people and
faith has been attacked so flagrantly. Please, help us to stand for
right. Please do not take satan's crowd under your wing and let them
attack us. Please, please, change your stand.
We pray for you and for all the many, many hard decisions that you
have to make. May God give you wisdom as you seek to do what He
would have you to do.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. President:
I have always been proud of the fact that you chose Houston as your
hometown and the fact that we are fellow Houstonians. I have also been proud of the
fact that the people of Texas and the United States elected a man of strong moral and
spiritual conviction to lead our country into the 1990's. However, I question the fact
that another man of equally strong moral and spiritual conviction was dismissed from his
position as one of your advisors.
Mr. President, unless the people of America turn back from this spiralling
descent into moral anarchy, unless the people of America return to the God of our
founding fathers, we, as a nation, have no hope. As the liberal minorities continue to
chip away at the very foundations our country was built on, we are destined for collapse.
And, Mr. President, with the dismissal of Mr. Wead, you have lost contact with one
more individual who is in touch with the true heartbeat of America.
Mr. President, in spite of what the liberal minority may try to make you
think, human rights do not include homosexuality, abortion, "self-improvement" through
New Age sorcery, etc. God destroyed cities and nations (Sodom and Gomorrah, the
Roman Empire) because they refused to turn away from these very sins (they are sins
and cannot be white-washed with such terms as "alternative lifestyles", etc.). Mr.
President, I do not list these sins with a "holier-than" attitude for, in the past, I have
been guilty of liberalism. However, I have seen the way liberalism destroys people and
families, how it provides a haven for those who are consumed with the objective of self-
gratification. Praise the Lord, I was blessed to have parents who forgive and love with
the same unconditional love as the Father.
There is hope for us. Because of His unconditional love, 1 Corinthians 6:9-
11 (Revised King James Version) says: "Do you not know that the unrighteous will not
inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters,
nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards,
nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some
of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in
the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God."

Mr. President, millions of Christians are struggling to be heard in our
capital. Unfortunately, ten riotous homosexuals are able to get front page coverage in
some of our nation's largest newspapers while three Christians trying to save unborn
children's lives spend weeks in the Harris County jail for peaceful protest (and the only
reason I know of this incident is because I listen to a Christian radio station here in
Houston, not due to any responsible reporting on the part of the secular media) With
the dismissal of Mr. Wead, these millions struggling to be heard, praying for revival in
the land, have lost just one more means of vocalizing our beliefs, the beliefs the
conservative majority hold.
Mr. President, please listen to the Lord. Surround yourself with Godly
men. Pray. Prayer and obedience to God are this nation's only hope.

Dear President Bush:
This is the redest looking paper I could find. While it was up-
setting to see your administration 'courting' homosexual groups, it makes
me downright angry that Doug Wead would be fired because he did not think
the idea was fine.
It seems to me that the wrong people are leaving the White House
staff. The so-called 'Gay Rights Groups' are vocal enough, way beyond
their numbers, without 'courting' them.
Hasn't the homosexual lobby hurt the country enough without bringing
them into more prominence? Why not honor causes that elevate mankind
rather than emphasize depravity? If we don't soon start to recognize
the source of our problems, there won't be a country for anyone to be
President of. We are certainly on a slippery slope.

Dear President Bush:
Recently on TV I saw and heard you ask for the prayers
of the American people as we face a serious international
crisis in the Mideast. And well we should pray for you as
you seek a solution to this crisis.
Many prayers have gone up for you, especially at the
presidential election two years ago, and many of them came
from the evangelical segment of the population. Some who
were life-long Democrats, switched their vote to assure
your victory.
Recently, however, the confidence of this evangelical
segment is beginning to wane. Why? Because, in April, you
seemed to favor a group who follow a non-traditional and
anti-family life-style - the homosexual life-style, and you
invited them to the White House to witness your signing of
the Hate Crimes Bill. Then in July, this same group was
back to witness the signing of the Americans with
Disabilities Act. To add insult to injury, just recently,
your liason to evangelicals, Doug Wead, was fired,
apparently because he voiced objection to the presence of
the homosexuals.
Mr. President, you entered your office as president
who stands for "traditional values" and the traditional
family, but I fear that, if you continue to turn your back
on the evangelical segment of the population, you will lose
their vote for your party at the ballot box in November,
and more importantly, their prayers for you. The
homosexuals, generally speaking, did not vote you into
office; the evangelicals did.
Please, Mr. President, do not turn your back on those
who have supported you these past two years.
Sincerely,
Elfrida Falk

President George Bush:
I am deeply distrubed and very disappointed in you, as
our National Leader. Recently you fired one of your most
stanch supporters because he dared to disagree with you,
how sad. He was right you know, rehire him.
I thought you professed to be a christian and yet you
uphold the homosexual and even invite them to the White
House, how awful. I have never been invited to your office
because I'm morally straight and a decent law abiding
citizen. In case you don't know it, according to scripture,
homosexuality is an abomination to the God who created
men and women. No other president in U.S. history has
ever bowed to the demands of these sicko's or invited them
to the White House. Why should they have special consideration
because of being a deviate? These people are militant,
and demanding everyone accept their life style, even our
children. I refuse and will do everything I can to stop
them! Let them return to their closet!
Also you promote through the N.E.A. funding with my tax
dollare, all kinds of filth and degration to bring shame
on the name of Jesus Christ, and call it art. Something
is wrong with the thinking in Washington. I demand as

Dear Mr. Bush,
You don't know me, but I am one of those shining lights.
This letter is to express my disgust with the Federal
Government over its continued support of the National
Endowment for the Arts which promotes such sick and perverted
Anti-Christian bigotry and pornography. Isn't there some
government agency that you've set up to try to crack down on
Child pornography. Such irony!!! My tax dollars are going
towards fighting pornography and supporting it at the same
time. I know your job is tough, trying to appease all the
special interest groups that this nation has come to be
composed of, but unless you let go of this horrible double-
standard, unless you hold up some symbol of righteousness,
and wholesomeness to our youth, adults and those who call
themselves adults, this Nation will fall.
Furthermore, you're decision to invite five representatives
of militant homosexual organizations during the signing of
the Americans with Disabilities Act on July 26 only lends
credibility to that perverted group. It says to me that you
recognize homosexuality as a viable alternate lifestyle.
Was it worth firing Doug Wead over?
I represent the majority of Americans, young and old. How do
I know this? During President Reagan's terms, he held up a
high moral standard that caused the nation to take notice and
feel proud again. Because he won the vote of the states
overwhelmingly, that tells me that this nation is still
composed of people (shining lights) that want to be led by a
President who will hold up a Standard of Righteousness.
In contrast, if you hold up a double-standard, people will
quickly begin to distrust you, the core will become rotten
and the glossy outer shell will soon become tarnished and
bitter.
PAGE 1 OF 2
Please know that I pray for you to possess the Wisdom of God,
without Whom you would not be holding the office of the
Presidency. (I just happen to be a Christian.)
Remember,
"Fear of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom "
Proverbs 9:10
And,
"There is a way that seems right to a man; but the end
thereof are the ways of death.' Proverbs 14:12
Please have the courage to support your Christian heritage
and have the confidence that the majority of the common
people in this nation will stand behind you.
Most of us are like sheep and need a strong political leader
who recognizes the priceless spiritual and moral values
necessary for a nation to thrive, and who can battle against
the political wolves and organizations like the NEA and the
ACLU which will most certainly bring this nation to moral
bankruptcy and ruin.
Is it too late Mr. President? Can we stop the tidal wave of
moral corruption? I feel like we are drowning. Please help.
But I know that there is a Hand that we can reach up to, to
pull us out of the mire and I am encouraged. Please take His
Hand, Mr. President, and lead.

Dear Mr. President,
I was recently saddened by your invitation to group of homosexuals to the
White for the signing of the Hate Crimes Bill.
When contacted about the invitation, your special liason to the religious
community stated Mr. Bush "is a man who lives as well as speaks about family
values.' He further stated that in no way does the President endorse the life-
styles of all groups which attend such events.
Following on July 26th you again invited five representatives of militant
homosexual organization to the signing of the Americans With Disabilities Act.
Your further inviting of Playboy publisher Christy Hefner to a meeting at
the White along with your continued government funding of anti-Christian
bigotry and pornography by the National Endowment for the Arts with no
restrictions and
your firing of Mr. Wead leads me to only one conclusion; that is you have again
decided to rethink some previous statements made during the last election
campaign. This is certainly of grave concern to me personally. This is a slap
in the face to the very evangelical Christian community of which you could not
have been elected president without their support.
We are living in very perilous times, the crime within Washington, DC is
one of utter disgrace. Government is spending money for aids research in larger
amount than all other disease combined. Yet we are attempting to irradiate a
moral problem with more money, and the government position is safe sex. Go ahead
and continue your life-style just use a "condom". Our education
standards are sinking lower, our saving & loan problem is about to bankrupt
the country and all these conditions point to one basic problem, morality.
Where do we learn this. I submit to you Mr. President we learn it from the
Holy Bible. Through study and prayer. We need to teach Biblical principles yet
our public schools cannot be even mentioned in the classroom since it cannot
be proven by scientists.
I submit to you Mr. President the scientists have never proven evolution and
never will, however it is taught as the only truth. The humanist's agenda is
to prevent any religious message to be taught there-
by freeing them to subvert the human mind to their thinking. If we choose to
exclude God from our lives we are sealing our own fate very rapidly.
It is very ironic to me the U.S. is called a Christian nation when is is
in fact again the law to even pray within our public schools. Our money has
the inscription "In God We Trust. I feel there are few within government or
the mainstream of education who believe the inscription, but rather worship
the almighty dollar in getting all of them that is possible through hook or
crook. The thinking today is man is superior and he (government) will care
for all your needs. This is only going to get worse regardless of the amount
of money which is spent. We need to change the people attitudes. When will
be be awakened to the fact this will not work nor can we continue encourage
life-styles not sanctioned by God's Holy Word.
What is desperately needed at this moment is for you our President to
be 100% honest and stand for human decency, speaking out on the wrongs within
our society including the consequence of deficit spending of our nation. We
need a president to will truly lead our country rather than lowering our
values and becoming one of them. These groups will only be satisfied when
brought down to their level of morals. St. Luke Chapter 6, verse 39: Reads as
follows; As he (Jesus) spake a parable unto them (the people), "Can the blind
lead the blind? Shall they not both fall into the ditch."
I shall continue to pray for your enlightenment of God's word for his
guidance and strength in the leading of our country as president.

Dear President Bush,
Sept 12, 1990
I have just read an article in
the Journal of the american family assic.
It talks about mr. Wead being fired
and about you signing the americans with
Resabilities act, which protects people with
AIDS. It also said that you said you
favored no content restrictions of tax
funded art and that you had invited
the publisher of Playbory magazine to the
White House.
President Bush Im trying hard
not to judge you for those things, but
I thought that you were a strong
Christian man with high morals.
Thats why my family voted for you
and tryed to influence other people
to vote for you also.
Would you please explain to all
of us Christians why these things were
done, so that we could try to understand?
It will be a big factor in our
voting next election.
President Bush we do pray for
you, your family and our nation,
We also pray that you are seeking
God in all of the things you do.
Please remember this scripture.
Proverbs 14:34 Righteousness exalts a
nation, but sin is a reproach to
any people.
The watched your speech last
night and it was very good.
you have been a good president
except for the issues to stated
before. I just want to understand
how a Christian can agree with
these different issues that are
clearly against decency and
Gods Hord.
l pray God will bless
you with all wisdom
knowledge and understanding
as you seek Him for
guidance in all things.

Dear Me. President;
Doug Weal has been fired from your staff, and the
Jule have just learned that our Christian brother
reason for his being fired is quite unacceptable to
the Christian body. How can a group of people, the
Do called Gay community, have such power over the
people in our government when they are such an
abomination to our God ??? while at the same
time the Christian body is thought of as wimps,
children and little old ladies in tennis shoes ?
We have had to stand by and watch another
Christian brother, Jim Bakker, he railroaded into
a 45 year prison term on a trumped up fraud
charge while those involved in the S&L scandal
are getting by with a slap on the wrist for a
real fraud charge. Where is the justice ?
We think its time that our government comes
to realize that Christians do note and that
elections are coming up. We are going to he very
careful who we voto for. We are going to find out
how the candidates stand on abortion and gays.
We are sick and tired of heing thought of as
second class citizens, or less.
Our nation was founded on Christian principals.
We are sick and tired of hearing "Church and State",
which is not in the Constitution of the U.S.A.
Even politics are not suppoved to come ahead
of our Lord Jesus Christ, but its for sure it does
in this day and age.
We are hoping that you, who say you are a
"believer", will help us turn this nation back to
being a Christian nation. Lets hope and pray
it isn't already too late.
Respectfully yours

Mr. President,
I would like to take this opportunity to express my
strong disapproval of the firing of George Wead. It also
seems to me that it wastotally unnecessary to have invited a
group of homosexuals to the White House.
The National Endowment for the Arts has funded exhi-
bitions that are a travesty on Christianity and public
funding of this organanization should be stopped.
At the same time, one of your campaign promises was
no new taxes and you should honor that commitment.

Dear President Bush,
This is the second letter I have written to
you this week-end. The first one got thrown in the
waste basket. Perhaps it was a good thing since it
figuratively set the basket on fire, it was suchcon
a hot letter. I think I am calmed down now and be
a little more objective. AND OBJECTIVE I am! In
fact my objection borders on being furious. I was
very disappointed when you decided in favor of the
tax increase. One of the reasons I voted for you
was that you knew the ropes of the Senate and
House of Representatives: I thought you would be
more able to control their spending. Why have so
many programs actually had their allotments raised?
Keeping them even would be unwise to say nothing of
raising them.
I am extremely upset, frustrated and angry
that Doug Wead has been fired. Who in the world
has your ear? Where can you possible be getting
the idea that we are happy with you succumbing to
pressure from a limited segment of the population.
And why have you had your picture taken with them
giving tacit approval of that life-style? Have
you forgotten the millions of us out here who value
our families and the traditional values?
You must be feeling intense pressure due to
the situation in Kuwait, but if we go down the
tube, so to speak, it won't matter what is hap-
pening anywhere.
The old adage says that the wheel that sqeaks
the loudest gets the oil When the homosexual pop-
ulation is squeaking, don't forget the rest of the
wagon.

Dear President Bush,
If the information I have received
is conact concerning the firing of one of
your advisors then I am voicing a clear
and loud disappiontment in the wisdom
of your administration The one in question
was nh Thompson, who advised you
that allowing gay leaders to attend a
formal government activity (d don't know the
proper name) would be a strong statement
to the american people that you really
are just a hypocrite.
Mr. Bush you are my commander and
chief, t serve in the United States an
Force, stationed at Dyess AFB TEXAS.
But I serve a much higher authority than
many t serve a living God! This country's
forefathers were all born again, spirit
filled christian men who feared God.
They were all statesmen, NOT POLITICIANS!
How in the world do you think some
fifty odd men sat down and wrote
a document so true that it established
the hasis for the most powerful, free
country the world has ever known. Plus,
they all were in agreement! How? Because
they didn't rely on their own abilities, they
busted in God and his wisdow
2
Its time, way past tuni, Mr. President
that this country have some mighty
wen. men that will fall on their
face before God in repentance of sins,
and sech his will, his guidance, his
wisdown, and then, stand before the
american people and say:
"Were going to begin this day
to destroy all of satans politics
and lift a standard toward
heaven, and serve our God with
all our strength."
are you the one to bring revinal to
america President Bush, or are you
just another man with no bachbone,
fearing men more than your creator?
Our country is rapidly racing toward
apostacy, our lawmahers and judges bow
down to every ungodly pac of filth
that has a pichet sign. who will end it?
Let me give you one example of americas
unjustice. we have a law that states,
anyone found quilty of destroying or even
tampering with a whooping Crane egg
will he fined 2500.00 and possible jail time,
but its OK to destroy a human baby, its ok
to take the life of humans but not birds.
3.
Rights! Everyone is crying rights rights, I
want my rights.
What about Godi Rights ?!!
I remind you of the word of God,
Juke 12:1-10 and Romans 14:11-12;
every hure shall bow and every tonque confers
to God." we will give an account of ourselves
to God.
So, my President, my commander, who
will you choose to serve this day? you
Can speak many words, but remember
God knows your heart, and his people
see your fruit. It isn't too late, but
time is quickly running out, most of
the bibles prophery has come to pass. your
our President, the people will look up
to you. Set your heart on God, and lead
the country back to Him! For, thus saith
the Lord, "If my people, which are called by
my name, shall humble themselves, and
pray and seek my face and turn from their
wiched ways; then will I hear from heaven,
and will forgive them their sin, and will

Dear President Bush:
We are very disappointed in the way you have backed away
from a conservative stand on issues - everything from "no new
taxes" to wanting to continue funding for the National Endowment
for the Arts. There's plenty of money in the private sector
for the arts.
But the straw that broke the camel's back for us was your
firing of Doug Wead. We couldn't believe that you would get
rid of a fine man like him. We felt that he was an excellent
person for you to have on your staff. We supported his strong
moral and pro-family views. We feel that he was a casualty
of the very vocal homosexual lobby. We are very disappointed
that you would cave in to the homosexuals.
We will be voting for someone else in 1992 unless you
start demonstrating the conservative and moral values that
you once claimed to represent.

DEAR MR. PRESIDENT
THERE ARE A NUMBER OF THINGS THAT I'm VERY
UNHAPPY ABOUT THAT ARE RELATED TO WHAT is
GOING ON OR NOT GOING ON IN THE CAPITAL,
1. TAXES WE Do NOT NEED MORE TAXES. WE
NEED LESS SPENDING AND LESS WASTE. IT IS
LIKE TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION. KEEP TAXES DOWN.
2. THE ECCONOMY: WE AS A NATION ARE IN
TROUBLE INDUSTRY CANNOT COMPETE IN THE WORLD
MARKET. People ARE LEOSING THEIR JOBS. WHY
CAN'T WE Do SOMETHING TO GIVE INCENTATIVES
TO INDUSTRY TO BE MORE COMPETITIVE?
3. MONEY: I Do NOT LIKE THE 10BA THAT
I, As A TAXPAYER MUST GUARANTEE THAT BANKS
THAT THE LOAN MONEY TO RUSSIA OR ANY NATION.
THAT IS A REAL SHAME ON OUR GOVT PUTTING
THAT BURDEN ON THE TAXPAYER. WE SHOULD
NOT BE LOANING MONEY ANYWAY, BECAUSE we
ALREADY OWE SO MUCHY I DEBT WE CAN
EVER PAY IT BACK,
4, I DID NOT LIKE THE TRIBUTE GIVEN
TO NELSON MANDELLA. OR THE FINANCIAC Support
GIVEN TO HIS COMMUNIST LEANING ORGANIZATION,
5. I Do NOT LIKE THE SANTIONS put
ON So, AFRICA. So AFRICA TREATS THE BLACKS
PAG2
BETER THAN ANY AFRICAN NATION. PLUS, THEY ARE
FRIENDS TO THE us. IT IS NO WONDER THE REST OF
THE WORLD DOES NOT RESPECT us THE WAY WE TREAT
OUR FRIENDS,
5. IT IS HARD FOR ME TO SEE How THE S&L
SAVINSS AND BANKS HAVE LOST St MUCH MONEY WITHOUT
THE OWNERS AND BANK OFFICERS EITHER STEALING
OR GETTING KICK BACKS UNDER THETABLE, I UNDERSTAND
THAT EXCESSIVELY HIGH SALARIES MAY HAVE CONTRIBUTED
TO THESE LOSSES. ALSO Now THE TAXPAYER HAVE TO
FORK OVER AGAIN, AND I DON'T LIKE ITI
6, I Do No LIKE THE WAY THE GOVT HAS
RECOGNIZED THE HOMOSECTUAL SECTOR AND AT
THE SAME TIME, HAS GIVEN No Support
TO THE CHRISTIAN VALUES THAT HAD MADE THIS
COUNTRY GREAT..
7. AIDS, BEING CONTAGEOUS, I BELIEVE ALL
AIDS PATIENTS SHOULD BE IDENTIFIED OR BETTER
YET, QUARANTEENED. I'm TIRED OF ALL THE

CARTER SAID "LETS MAKE OUR NATION SELF DEPENDENT
ON OiL RESERVES." THE INDEPENDENT OIL OPERATORS
WENT TO WORK FINDING NEW RESERVES, THEN IN
1980, ALL OF A SUDDEN, TO OUR SURPRISE!?
WE HAD TOO MUCH OiL! PRICES OF OiL DROPPED
TO $1000 A BARREL: THE INDEPENDENTS HAD To
Sell OUT TO THE "MAJORS" BECAUSE 18th oil COULD
NOT PAY THE Bill. THIS RUINED MANY BUSINESSES

DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH Do Mestic oil. THE OPEC
COUNTRIES WERE A MINOPOLY AND OUR GOOD ÓLE
US GOV'T DID NOTHING TO PROTECT OUR OWN
INDUSTRIES. AN IMPORT TAX ON FOREIGN OIL COULD
HAVE HELD THE PRICE TO 20 00 A BARREL AND THAT
WOULD HAVE ALLOWED THE Oil INDUSTRY TO
CONTINUE TO FIND NEW OIL. RESERVES, Now
WHERE ARE WE? WE ARE AGAIN AT THE
MERCY OF FOREIGN OiL. WE DO NOT HAVE
DOMECTIC RESERVES TO FILL OUR NEEDS,

Dear Mr. President,
WEAD
d am writing to let you know of my dissapoint-
meut at hearing of your firing of Douglas wead.
d think you have done the Evangelical Christian
Community a great disservice by this action,
Mr. Wead stood up for his beliefs and because
of that he was lit go. In my opinion that
is wrong. why have someone in this position
if, when they do what they should dosthey
are dismissed?
while line writing of will also let you know
that d believe unlimited funding to
the national Endowment for the arts is
not good. I thought, first off that our
country was in bad financial shape. d
enjoy art and know several artists but
this is not a necessity when our countries
finances are already overstressed Secondly,
but more importantly, we should at least
put limits on the act. I think most americans
are very shocked at the so called "art "which
was recently funded by our government.
Please take a stand for decency. you are
a figurehead, if you don't stand for what
should. is moral why should anyone else feel they

Dear Mr. President. Bush,
I feel that someone close to you has given you extremely bad ad-
vise on two counts. One - those who advised you to invite the gay act-
2
ivists to the signing of the Hate Crimes Bill and the Disabilities Act.
Two - the firing of Mr. Doug Wead, Special Assistant for Public Liason.
Mr. Wead was doing a good job, trying to protect you from the ire of
those who would criticize you for the mistake of inviting the gay act-
ivists to the White House.
By your invitation to the gays you have given credility to a group
(only a 3% minority of our population) who have the agend to undermine
traditional values to suit their own intent. This is the same group who
have done the vilest things to churches, and mocked traditional values.
If the Republican party let them into their ranks, it will be the demise
of the Republican Party. The Republicans will be lowering their standard
and be just like the Democrats.
I feel you are alienating the very majority of those who voted for
you because we trusted you to uphold traditional values as you said you
would. Your 1000 points of light have turned to betrayal and darkness.
Please have the courage to admit that these two mistakes have been
made Do your best to exert leadership in the right direction- away
from courting these fringe groups who will crucify -even you, if they get
the chance. You are the leader of the Republican party and we expect you to
uphold the best traditions of that party as well as the best interest
of the nation. Please support traditional values that the majority of
thosewho voted for you hold dear.
Yours truly,

Dear Mr. President:
I will begin this letter by introducing myself. My name
is Philip Beach, and I teach science in the Aldine School District
in Houston. My wife, Dana, is a teacher in the Spring School
District and is co-signing this letter. My wife and I voted
for you in the last election, and we both love this country more
than most people could know. Lately, my wife and I have been
frustrated over several things that have happened in this country.
We voted for you due to many issues. One reason we voted for you
was because of your strong view on the family. Once eroded, the
very foundation of this country will also be eroded. I'm sorry,
but homosexuality is not the basis for a family. Homosexuality
is defined in the Bible as an "abomination before God". If you
are a Christian as we are, there is no other way to look at it.
We don't hate the homosexual people, but we do hate their life-
style. The current aids crisis is everyone's problem, but you
say that you want to stop this crisis, and yet allow the main
means of spreading this disease to go unchecked. Doug Wead had
the true view on homosexuality, but as in the past, he was put
out due to the loud mouths of the homosexual lobby. I find this
hard to believe, since he represented millions of Christians
throughout the country. The homosexual groups did not vote for
you or support you, but we did, and feel let down.
p. 2
The next issue is gun control. Any intelligent person knows
that the guns are not the problem with crime in this country,
but it is the weak judicial system that allows criminals to get
a slap on the wrist and then walk free to victimize someone
else. Our constitutional right to bear arms has been eroded as
well. The guns that are used in crimes are not legally owned
guns, and can be verified from statistics. To take legally
owned guns from the citizens is to let the fox into the hen
house. You might as well put up a sign and open your door to
allow the criminals easy access to your home, not to mention
foreign governments. This was the initial reason for this right,
and yet again I feel betrayed.
The next issue is the communist pampering that has gone on.
The problem is that we are not as gullible as most of the people
who think that communism is equal in morality to our form of
government. We have freely elected representatives of our views,
and our leaders are there because we want them there. Their
government positions are appointed, and not elected. To call
them leaders is wrong. Gorbechev is not a leader; he is a
figure head being used to get the money necessary to continue
their aggression against not only the world but that of their
own people. Has our hope for peace SO blinded us as to not be
able to see how communism works? Find out how many people are
still being held because of their religious view, and then tell
me they are on an equal moral footing as us. Unfortunately our
media has a different agenda in mind, and many people are not
able to see the truth. To rate a communist leader anywhere near
a freely elected president is unbelievable. It also angers me
p. 3
when millions of dollars are being poured into Russia, while like
me, hard working Americans find it almost impossible to get loans
necessary to survive. I would love world peace, but do we really
think that there will be peace without Jesus Christ? Man's moral
position is still the same, no matter how much new technology
comes about.
A little bible study will also prove that abortion is murder.
You have had a good view on this, and for that, I, and those that
have made it in this world thank you. Once again, however, we
are being led to believe that most in this country are for abor-
tion. To make innocent babies pay for the crimes of others is
murder. People no longer want to take responsibilities for their
actions.
Being a teacher, it is easy for me to see much of the problem
with education. The erosion in education can be traced back to
when absolutes were taken from the schools. These kids want
direction, and answers, not theory. They have questions that
need to be answered, but we can't without moral absolutes. When
prayer was taken out of the schools, education took a dive. How
can you have truth apart from God? I am tired of the ACLU
eroding this country's morality. The funding of the arts goes
hand in hand with this. Having my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,
who is still alive, blasphemed and slandered in the name of art
is not right, and that I am helping to pay for it with my tax
dollars that I work so hard for is wrong. The National
Endowment for the Arts needs to be stopped now. This is not art,
and if it is, then I am ready to hang up my paintbrush.
How can we fund such things, raise the salaries of congress,
and pay for abortion clinics, and then say we need to raise taxes?
p. 4
Making a living from politics was never the intent of the
founding fathers. Public service is an honor, not a way to
make a million dollars. There is a definite contradiction be-
tween our liberal congress getting higher salaries, and the
raising of our taxes. I think the majority of them should be
forced to be a teacher for a number of years and see how hard it
is to make ends meet, and then they would see why I am outraged
at the waste from government.
The last point I want to cover is the American flag. To me
the flag is the representation of this country and all the men
who died to make this country free. To burn the flag is to me
an attack upon this country. Who are these people burning the
flag? If they were true Americans, they would hold the flag in
esteem. This is not free speech, this is an attack upon every-
thing that this country is about.
I will end this letter by saying that my wife and I will
pray that God will give you the wisdom to stand up against these
special interest groups. You are the President of The United
States of America, which puts you in a very special place for
us. You are our elected leader, and as such we stand behind
you 100%. All I ask is that you come out for or against these
issues publicly. We are the one's who support you, defend you,
vote for you, and ask if you will stand up and help defend our
issues before those special interest groups? I am tired of the
big mouth's, Kennedy and Biden, getting their say-so, and yet
hearing nothing from the other side. If the other side was more
popular or numerous, then Dukakis would be in office instead of
