Dear President
Trump,
Judging by the
fact that we have received no response to any of our letters thus far, I am
assuming that answering the questions, thoughts, hopes, and pleas of the
American people who elected you and have elected to write to you personally is
not something that you find to be of major importance at this time. Maybe you
figure you have better things to do. Maybe you think that you can better serve
the American people by making speeches and setting the public agenda than by
reading individual letters. However, I know that our government is a government
that is very fond of paperwork and categorization, and therefore I am almost
certain that every day, or perhaps every week, your receive tallies listing the
subjects people are writing to the president about. With that in mind, I speak
directly to you, mail room workers of the White House. Please count this letter
as:
A letter
angrily denouncing President Trump’s decision to withdraw America from the
Paris Agreement regarding climate change.
A letter
asking President Trump to delete his personal twitter account, or at least to
consider how his tweets will affect the people they concern before he posts
them.
A letter
demanding that President Trump remove himself from anything remotely concerning
the investigation into the links between his campaign and Russia.
A letter challenging
President Trump to treat all Americans with respect, even those who have
disagreed with him at some point.
A letter
asking President Trump to abandon his attempts to reinstate his travel ban.
I realize that
this is asking you to count this letter in six different categories, but I
would rather not waste stamps on letters that will never get replied to, and so
I am trying to be efficient and accomplish multiple tasks at once.
Sincerely,
K.
