Lead Us Out of This Valley of Death
Dear President Bush,
Take charge.
Fire the head of FEMA immediately. Tonight. Do it on live TV.
Show us you are angry.
Prove to us that you will not let these people suffer any longer.
Appoint a strong leader who has instant credibility.
Give that person total responsibility and authority.
Be bold.
Declare martial law.
Call the CEOs of America’s 25 largest corporations.
Arrange a meeting within 24 hours.
Explain that our way of life is threatened.
Jawbone them into committing to a broad , bold plan to invest and rebuild.
Immediately divert resources from Iraq.
Don’t be shy, there’s not a single American who will object.
Be open. Get thee to New Orleans. On the ground.
Show compassion.
Lead us out of this valley of death.
Respectfully,
– Ron K. Jeffries
P.S. I voted for you, and strongly supported removing Sadaam. Now the war is in our heartland. We need your help.
Enough is enough.
