Dear President Obama,

Let me start by saying that I am a life-long Democrat and proud to be a supporter of you as our President.

I do not normally write letters like this, nor am I so naive as to think you will read this directly.

However, I take pen to hand to urge you as our President (and a fellow Christian) not to compromise our Constitutional rights to free expression of our faith and beliefs (i.e., crosses, stars, peace symbols or whatever) under the guise of a non-existent "right" atheists seem to think they have to be free from exposure to any religious expression that apparently offends them.

The Constitution does not give them - or anyone else - any such "right" of public censorship or freedom from exposure to free expression of religious beliefs.

The right is freedom of expression (i.e., free speech) not freedom from expression!

I daily have to be exposed to all kinds of things I don't agree with (as we all do) but I recognize that I do not have the right to silence others.

Freedom of public free speech and religious expression are absolutely critical to our free and democratic society - and many of our best and bravest have given their lives to preserve this fundamental right.

Therefore, I am urging you to put a stop to the never-ending series of efforts by atheists to remove crosses, manger scenes and other religious symbols from public places - including our honored military cemeteries; whose fallen and their families were entitled to erect and maintain such symbols in their sacred memories.

If I have to tolerate listening to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ's name used every day on television, radio and in movies as a profanity, I think my brother and sister atheists should be able to "tolerate" seeing a cross now and then.

The only thing that seems to be "intolerable" these days is to be a devout Christian and to express our Christian convictions publicly.

I look forward to supporting your re-election, and encourage you to keep up the good work for this nation, but to please not compromise on this critical Constitutional right of all Americans.

Dear Mr President, I am a very humble physician that has seen so much pain in my 38 years of life. We all need to heal and hear your words of encouragement like we did in 2008. There are people dying for lack of access, lack of knowledge, and some time for no reason at all. I believe this if from peoples fear of the unknown and from each other. In 2008, you gave us hope which in turn helps us open our hearts. I believe Jesus puts us in the right place at the right time. I believe God gives us gifts to share. Mine was medicine. Yours was the gift of influence through speech. Please preach to us. Share your gift right now. My godmother always told me when you speak from your heart and stand your ground, you will never fail. Sincerly, Dr E. Read more about WE need Jesus and you Mr President!

Mr Obama, India will be illegally executing Balwant Singh on 31st March 2012. This needs to be stopped at all cost. Read more about ILLEGAL EXECUTION of Balwant Singh - Punjab - INDIA

The execution of Bhai Balwant Singh Rajoana! Must NOT take place, you! MUST try an stop this corrupt Indian Government from proceeding with this death penalty!! Read more about Save Bhai Balwant Singh

Dear Respected Sir, Mr Obama

I write my plea for your help.

Bhai Balwant Singh Rajoana is to be hanged on 31st March 2012 in Punjab, India. The Indian Government is executing a death warrant against Mr Rajoana who has served his punishment, and has then been held captive, whilst friends of the Indian Government who have perpertrated numerous heinious crimes against Sikhs and admitted them roam free to live luxurious lifestyles.

Mr Rajoana was charged a life sentence for the assassination of Beant Singh, the man who had admitted to conspiring in the killing of thousands of Sikhs. Mr Rajoana has served his sentence, admitting to stopping Beant Singh from killing further. In fact, Mr Rajoana was not set free at the end of his sentence, but a death penalty was ordered. European Sikh media have managed to get hold of this story, as it is one of many which the Indian Government have gotten away with.

I ask for your help, to stop a corrupt Government who is abusing their power against the innocent and causing unjustified death. If you cannot help, please let me know who can. Our peaceful protests are going unheard, and it is only a matter of time before the Indian Government find another unjustified excuse to open fire on the innicent protestors.

Whenever Sikhism begins to flourish in India, the Indian Government are there to put a stop to it. Sikhs are protectors of all, but when it comes to keeping the numbers down, there is no thought given to their benevolent acts throughout history to save the nations time upon time, and they are murdered, raped, put into prison regardless of whether anyone knows about it or not.

Please help! Read more about Save Bhai Balwant Singh Rajoana

Hello RESPECTED Mr.BARACK OBAMA,

EVERYBODY SAY YOU ARE THE BEST PRESIDENT IN THE WORLD YOU CAN DO ANYTHING., YOU HAVE THE POWER STOP CRIME I AM RESIDENT OF THIS COUNTRY UNITED STATES AND I PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN. SIR OUR NATION REALLY NEED YOUR HELP REGARDING CASE ABOUT WHICH IS THE MOST SERIOUS HAPPENING GOING IN PUNJAB INDIA... IF WE GO BACK TO 1984 LOT OF INNOCENTS PEOPLE KILLED IN DELHI AND PUNJAB AFTER KILLED INDRA GANDI NOW HISTORY IS GOING TO REPEAT AGAIN SIR BECAUSE AGAIN INDIAN GOVERMENT IS GOING TO DO UNFAIR WITH OUR NATION AND COMMUNITY.

Bhai Balwant Singh Rajoana is scheduled to be hanged on March 31 for his role in the 1995 assassination of Beant Singh, Chief Minister of Punjab at that time. Balwant Singh Rajoana was a police officer and gunman for Chief Minister Beant Singh. Beant was responsible for overseeing the mass genocide of Sikhs and was responsible for giving police officers such as KPS Gill (known as ‘The Butcher of Punjab’), SSP Sumedh Saini, SSP Mohammad Izhar Alam (leader of the infamous Black Cats) and others a free reign to run operations that deliberately targeted the civilian population of Punjab. This lead to a period of forced disappearances, fake ‘encounter’ killings, brutal torture, illegal detention, mass rapes, illegal seizure of property and widespread intimidation of the Sikh population.

Balwant Singh Rajoana was arrested in 1995 and has never denied involvement in the assassination plot. He has refused to make any appeals and has not recognised the authority of the courts in what has been called a matter of Sikh National Security and Sovereignty. Balwant Singh Rajoana has openly called for the death penalty recognising it as the only form of justice available to him under the Indian legal system. This may seem strange, but Balwant Singh Rajoana is inspired by the rich history of the Sikhs and their Gurus who have laid down their lives in opposition to tyranny. While Balwant Singh welcomes his sentence, protests are taking place in India and around the world (to my knowledge, rallies have been organized in London, Vancouver, San Francisco). Some of those who are protesting are seeking clemency even though Balwant Singh himself is refusing to appeal his sentence.

SIR, HE ALREADY SPENT HIS LIFE'S 17 YEARS IN JAIL FOR HIS CRIME AND NOW INDIAN GOVERMENT GOING TO HANGED HIM IN 4 DAYS DO U THINK ITS FAIR ???PLEASE WE NEED JUSTICE SAVE HIS LIFE THIS IS NOT FAIR, WE ALL BEG YOU PLEASE...

Dear President Obama,

I do not mean to interrupt you, but I was walking on the street and I saw something very bad.

My name is Ariella. What I saw on the street made me extremely sad. I saw 3 Tibetan people on the street with other Tibetans praying to get their culture back. The 3 Tibetan people are on there  33rd day of a hunger strike they only drink water and go to the bathroom when needed. The Chinese are taking over their culture and there language. They are not letting them pray. Out there in the cold, the 3 Tibetan men are parrying for people to come. Yet nobody even the media is paying attention to this. My ancestors went through this before in the holocaust. I don’t want Tibetans to end up dieing because of this. I think that there should be equal rights just like Africans are now holding hands with white people and Jews are allowed to do what they want. They should be that for Tibetans also. There is nobody that would want to help the Tibetans so I’m asking you is you could help me and all the other Tibetans get what they own back. It really shocked me to see that nobody is helping them.  Other people who strike in Manhattan are making lot of noise and being very annoying and people don’t want to help them. I get that, but when the Tibetans are being peaceful like they always are nobody helps them. I don’t know what to do because apparently peacefulness doesn’t help and screaming doesn’t help. I would really appreciate this if you could put some time in your busy schedule to help the Tibetans. 

Once again thank you.

Sincerely,

Ariella Read more about Free the Tibetans

Dear Mr. President

I am writing the letter to you in regards to your leadership for this country. As you know, “Together we shall stand, divided we shall fall as a nation. This is the time to cause thy people to know the truth. Visit thy people while the land is greatly full for thy presence. Cause them to know who they are as a people. Teach them to get along and continue to help and support one another. Show them how important to stop the violence and hate toward one another. You said:” take a stand for what is right, but yet we are all perplexed. Show and have mercy upon your people and help them to regain their true identity which is from the ALMIGHTY GOD HIMSELF. Denounce the enemies of the Lord. You hold the strength and the power. Pray for wisdom and instruction to change this nation for the better before destruction arises.

The Lord shall come with a mighty sword upon the land. The book of “Exodus" describes it. Starting with chapter 9. Stand up for righteous sake and seek justice and judgment for your people. We all are a nation under GOD HIMSELF and can no longer look to man for redemption or salvation. The Lord said; All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Matthew chapter 28. I shall leave you with this word also. Read Matthew chapter 16 and chapters 21 through 25 and know for sure. Give GOD THE GLORY. May HIS LOVE AND MERCY BE UPON THEE.

Love Lives
