Dear Donald Trump,
I hope your campaign to be the next president of the United States will soon wrap up and you can return to your towers.
Someone recently asked me if I was Muslim as I stood in line at an airport coffee shop, and I thought of you. I am not Muslim, but you see, I am brown, so I am often asked questions like that. It is not something a white person, especially a white man, is asked, so you probably don't know what it is like to be asked that question. That question that makes you immediately into the other, the outsider, the person who does not belong, all suggested in just that one question. "I am American" I like to reply sometimes, but for some people like you that's not a good enough answer.
I have put together some of the things you have said about Muslims....

Dear Mrs. Palin,
I am a former U.S. Marine and U.S. Navy officer with a Combat Action Ribbon, as well as service-connected disabilities. I am also a Republican. I have also served, and am friends, with dozens of combat veterans who suffer daily from various injuries and wounds, including PTSD. I recently read your attempts to excuse your son’s arrest on domestic abuse and firearm charges by based on his supposed PTSD. Based upon your previous comments, I am not surprised that you would choose to use this very serious condition to, once again, attempt to divert blame from your own family’s abhorrent, violent behavior.
In 2014, your entire family was involved in a late-night “drunken brawl” at a party in which Track Palin (the accused domestic abuser) was involved in a bloody fight...

I have a dream 2016!
I have a dream that Donald Trump will not be president.
But if he does, all Asians, Africans and Mexicans have to go back to their own country. Without them the USA population will go down to 12,0000 people only.
Most engineers are Indian then there won't be any technology!
Without technology there's no netflix without netflix there's no chill.
Is that a world you want to live in? NO!

Dear Mrs. Palin,

I have also served with, and am friends with, dozens of combat veterans who suffer daily from various injuries and wounds to include PTSD. I recently read your comments related to PTSD in which you attempted to excuse your son’s arrest on domestic abuse charges and firearm charges by referencing his supposed PTSD. Based upon your previous comments I am not surprised that you would choose to use this very serious condition as a political football and, once again, attempt to divert blame from your own family’s abhorrent, violent behavior.

I have just watched the first half hour of "World War11 in color" on Netflix and it was as if I were watching present day world events. The world's troubled financial situation, the military buildup by most countries, even those that can least afford it like Russia, and the lack of strong political leadership in 3rd world countries like Africa leave me believing that we are on the brink of global war. When entertainers like Donald Trump can dominate the news media with his outrageously offensive and bias comments, and still have strong support in the USA, it tells me that even a strong democracy like the USA can easily be swayed to become elitests like the prewar NAZI Germans.
I am afraid that common sence, reason, tolerance, acceptance and forgiveness, all hallmarks of a strong...

Dear the Donald,
Since day one I have been your number one supporter. My support and fanaticism is so strong that I will risk my like taking a bullet before you. With this I begin my letter.
You are with no question an amazing leader! Today a large group of people support you, a support so strong that no other leader has received since 1922. However since day one I have been your number one supporter. Your hard work and dedication towards accomplishing your goal of becoming the next United States President is with no doubt is heading in the right direction. You have brought to light a group of people like me that have otherwise being ignored by previous presidential candidates and for this I thank you.
When you first decided to run for President you had no idea of how the...

For almost 20 years, the new Oliver North team was under new management of Terry Nelson, a former corrupt FBI agent who Chip Tatum (CIA whistle blower) admitted meeting at the Florida home of the Bush family. Since North was outed at the Senator Kerry's closed door hearings where both smugglers and pilots (George Morales, Gary Betzner, etc) he had to be replaced. The new team found a new way of doing things as well. The cocaine would no longer be flown in to Arkansas or Homestead Air Force Base in Florida - but North to Canada.
Witnesses and insiders Erling Ingvaldsen and Bruce Gorcyca tried to expose the Billion dollar enterprise in Canada, and were shocked to learn that the RCMP already new about it and even arrested Nelson and a Canadian named Mike Huxtable - caught in the act in...

The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), the firearms industry’s trade association, purchased ad space in the Washington Post this morning to publish an open letter to President Obama.
It addresses Mr. Obama’s frankly duplicitous statements about the firearms industry.
Dear Mr. President:
The men and women of America’s firearms and ammunition industry are profoundly disappointed by your statements that we stand in the way of improving public safety.
We are America’s gun safety experts, in the true meaning of that phrase. We provide the firearms to our nation’s military, law enforcement agencies and the civilian market for hunting, target shooting and self-defense.
Mr. President, we share the goal of reducing the intentional misuse of guns and enhancing the safety of...

Hidden in the small print of November's Autumn Statement, the government announced it would retrospectively hike student loan repayments for all English students who've started since 2012. This disgraceful move that goes against all the principles of good governance.
I've already hired lawyers to look into whether a legal challenge is possible, but this is just as much a moral issue as a legal one. So today I've sent the following letter to the Prime Minister to ask him to take a personal interest. For more information on how this works and who'll be affected see my I've hired lawyers about student loans blog.
Dear Mr Cameron,
I feel compelled to write to you over the decision to retrospectively change the terms of student loans.
In 2011 I was appointed head of the Independent...
