Lord only knows what
shape our country – and the world for that matter – would be in now if you
hadn’t been elected to office. You have
my utmost gratitude for taking on the tremendous responsibilities of governing
this great nation of ours.
In regards to your speech tomorrow, I have a few thoughts
I’d like to share with you.
1. Please reconsider, for
now, trying to negotiate with the GOP in regards to most of your policy decisions as they are not currently emotionally mature enough to work as a team. For 8 yrs they “ruled” with almost absolute
power, the power of fear, to get their agenda’s done. They were so success at this because negative
thoughts, emotions, and words have energy that can and do spread like a cancer within
communities, large or small. Unfortunately this negative energy has been
used by the GOP to unstabize America in order to more effectively control the
population. And they continue to weld
this power of fear thru conduits like Rush, Glenn, and Bill. So again, please stop trying to appease the
GOP, for now, and be true to your
own inner counsel as it has done wonderful things for you and us so far. Trust
it as I and most of America does.
2. Please remind
everyone, including the members of congress, that it takes a village to make this
country work, to evolve into a Nation much greater then we have been. The time is now for everyone to disregard
their childish playground antics and to mature emotional. Again, thoughts, emotions, and words have
energy that can embolden people to be all they can be, if just given a
nudge. The People, particularly the
young, need to understand that you, as President, can only do so much, that the
people need to take responsibility of their everyday actions to make this
country into something far greater than it currently is. As Gandhi once said “You must be the change
you wish to see in the world.”
3. Along those lines, please remind people that America is a
very young nation in comparison to many on this planet. America is a nation of immigrants that
wouldn’t exist and be what it is today without these brave adventurers. All cultures bring with them new and
different ways to look at life and therefore bring new insight and hope into
how our nation could evolve for the better.
4. Information – Fact or Fiction. As you know, up until a few generations ago
information that could transform lives was controlled by the elite – governments,
religions, and business tycoons. But
with the free flow of information due to technology another type of information
control is taking place – that of disinformation and/or misinformation. I know
highly successful, intelligent people who believe in the crap that is being disseminated
by certain “entertainment” venues trying to pass as legitimate “news”
organizations. Be that as it may, please
encourage people to listen to what their intuition, heart, and common sense are telling them and to do
their homework before they pass judgment on others and/or government policy
issues.
For my part, I owe you an apology for not acting sooner on
my heart and intuition in regards to what I would like my world to be. By writing you this letter I’m taking my
first baby steps in acting as an agent of change as suggested by author Dr.
Mary Pipher, so this won’t be last you’ll hear from meJ
Very truly yours,
Leslie Beil
