Dear Mr. President:

1. While you have said that America is addicted to oil, why is there no viable alternative energy sources supported by your administration, nor by the Legislators?

2. Doesn't the new Adam Walsh bill smack of double jeopardy? Wouldn't it be wiser, and more constitutionally sound to significantly increase jail time and not offer parole for sexual predators?

3. How do you reconcile the fact that our "liberation" of Iraq has cost over 40,000 civilian lives?

Respectfully, Sandra L Wikle

With much love, Sandy

Mr. President, I am concerned about the nursing shortage in So. Florida. As a nurse, I know that there have been many incentive programs offered to bring nurses into the area. However, with the aftermath of the hurricanes, high insurance rates, high cost of housing and gas just to name a few, these incentives are no longer attractive. With this being a retirement area, more nurses are needed but the market is dwindling and the baby boomers are aging. What can the federal government offer to So. Floridians in this important area?

With all due respect Mr. President, can you please explain how is it that gas prices vary so much from state to state? I was in Alaska and regular was 2.71, went to San Francisco and San Jose, regular was anywhere from 3.10 to 3.23. Come to Miami and its 2.81. Not only is this neurotic, but the fact that the companies are make a hell of a profit with no one questioning them, makes me wonder who really is responsible for this travesty, our government or the oil companies? What do you think?

Sincerely, Carmen

Mr President, All friends aside, what are the repercussions if the united States were to break off all relations with Israel?

Mr. Bush, do you feel that Israel has taken agressive action based on your example of attacking Iraq for unsubstanciated reasons?

Do you think it is appropriate to be in S. Fla fundraising for partisan gain while the conflict in the Middle East is so unstable? Is this leading by example? I'm not sure you care at all about the crises you have instigated, directly and indirectly.

Mr. President, I need to understand the wet foot dry foot policy. There are people who have been waiting many years to enter the US legally and they have to wait their turn but the cubans can come wily nilly is ths country say that only the cubans are oppressed in their country. What is being done to expedite the millions on the waiting list to enter the US legally while the Cubans are fast tracked? Can this really be view as fair?

I want to know why we can not have a ?Working? American serve as President. Someone who works for a living and understands the economy more because they are a direct part of it? Someone who will do what is in the best interest for this country and its people not friends, family and business associates.

This would be great for our country. No more Reblicans or Democrats Just ?Working? Americans. We can take our country back!!

Anybody wishing to respond to this please send me an e-mail me at workingamerican@gmail.com.

Thank you,

Dear President Bush: I can only think that you are totally oblivious as to what is really going on in Lebanon. How can you be at a t ball game on the same day that Israel is massacring southern Lebanon? Isn't it also about time to finally describe the Israelis as terrorists????????? Enough is enough! Stop supporting Israel! Aren't you aware that the whole world hates America now because of the relationship we have with Israel? How can you continue to justify what Israel is doing and we (America) are financially supporting these terrorists (The Israelis). Once and for all say it like it really is!!!!!!! We as the strongest nation in the whole world, I would expect a fair and balanced foreign policy for all sides involved, not just Israel. Israel will be the reason for the downfall of the U.S. just wait and see.

Mr. Putney,

First hand Mr. Bush a copy of all of the questions submitted - I think that might be an eye opener for him to read some of the submissions. Please do not submit your questions to him before the interview ? I want him to answer questions not have prepared statements. Make sure he answers the question ? I am really tired of him dancing around with half answers. Don?t give him softball questions ? make him do some work, heck is is suppose to be working for all of us, right?

Questions for Mr. Bush 1)Why are we supporting attacks on civilians in Lebanon? I have yet to see anything in Israel that earns the level of response and death inflicted by Israel on Lebanon. What right does Israel have to bomb ALL of Lebanon back to the 1940?s?

2)Why did the Israeli?s bomb Beirut?s airport? Hezbollah doesn?t have an airforce.

3)Doesn?t it seem that Israel is creating a larger problem for themselves and the USA with alienation of the entire muslim population with it out of control response to the initial attack by Hezbollah? Yes, Hezbollah is a terriost organization, but one man?s terriost is another?s freedom fighter ? of all people the Isreali?s should know this, it was how Isreal was formed in the lat 1940?s.

4)Has the US government spent more on Iraqi Reconstruction or US Education over the last three years?

5)I would like to know if he really knows the common folk, thus: What is the price of the following in a grocery store: a.A Gallon of milk? b.Carton of Eggs? c.A loaf of bread?

6)When was the last time he went shopping for groceries?

7)When was the last time he had to buy gas? a.How much is a TANK of gas for a 15 gallon tank?

8)When was the last time he paid phone, power and water bills?

9)What are his three biggest failures during his time in office? He has had quite a while to think about this one, he didn?t answer it the first time it was asked during the presidential debates.

10)What is his stance on global warming? Does he think that it exists?

11)What is the governments energy policy? Does the president have an energy policy? If he does, the rest of us have yet to see it.

12)What are solid example of programs that he has started and successfully executed for poor and middle class?

13)How much does a average house cost in South Florida? a.What is the monthly mortgage payment for that average house? b.What is the percentage of income required to pay for that mortgage?
