my name is richard williams i am 23 years old i m a citizen of the united states of america and this message is for our president mr president mr president i got a few questions if you let me ask them this situation is delicate so please answer without checking with your delegates or pandering an election rhetoric yesterday i turned my tv on and saw you an romney in this long race every political pundet wondering what is our faith see y all both make a strong case but sometimes i think this country might be going the wrong way do we got allstate if we crash no we in your hands mr president this is your task cause we the people selected you did you forget about the decent people that elected you i read your book on page 63 you quoted king but did you know the last speech he wrote before he died wasn t about a dream it was about poverty greed and great despair and he named the sermon why america may go to hell we going to bail our corporations with no avail while working class americans struggle no body cares mr president i beg your pardon but i don t wanna hear that circular motion we ain t in that oval office we can t talk economy until we talk greed until we talk poverty and then we talk needs until we talk love and then we grab each others hand and we all hug it s all of us together no democrats or republicans those are just names to distract us from that fact that we re human beings we want this country restored left or right wing which ever you lean towards we need reform we need more then the supreme court more then a corrupt police force that abuses people without remorse so many lost overseas we can t keep scores it s like peace has become just intervals between wars see these are reasons why we fight for a cause fight for the country with the stripes and the stars not for the legislators that write up the laws this is for the everyday american why i m writing this song to you have you ever had to fight for a cause fight for something you knew was right but was wrong last night my daughter cried in my arms cause she knew her daddy was trying to find a job but it s hard and on top of that my best friend got life for a charge which is ironic mr obama i said my best friend just got life for a charge which is ironic because we both might die with these bars 1
