Letters to President Obama March - November 2009

The following are a series of letters I wrote to President Obama this past year.
Not included is a letter to Secretary Chu to please read "The Cult of the Atom" before any new nuclear power plants are approved. It's a history of how the rush to build new power plants uncovered many expensive design flaws that were ignored. Not to mention the 147 year back log of repacking the decades of stored nuclear waste at Hanford. The delays and impossibility of safely storing deadly radioactive wastes may never be solved. It's one of those design flaws that will cost lives and the good health of many for 10,000 years and more. This is a topic I’ve following for decades as a Hanford Downwinder.
I attempted to keep each letter on just one topic. So many of today’s challenges are interlinked that a single issue solved would not resolve the issue. Example: until corporate agriculture gives up mono crops and pesticide use health care costs will continue to go up and global warming will not be able to be solved.
Along with letters to President Obama I wrote and called Congress on these issues.
President Obama did send me a generic Global Warming snail mail but did not address my major issue, i.e. HAARP heating the sky and causing extreme Artic ice melt. President Obama has disappointed me in his choices. I have let him know and offered a different choice.
Swine flu and complications have taken three months out of my life this year. I am still weak from losing 40 pounds and gained another named disease to add to my list.
You never know what one letter can do. A letter to Donald Trump on making peace profitable he turned into a full page ad in the New York Times.
I hope the following inspires you to also communicate especially if you have expertise in an issue where decisions by those in power are being made.

Mahatma Gandhi traded for Peter the Great as Obama Hero

President Obama:
“As you have given me the privilege of communicating with you – I am laying my heart bare. If you find me speaking without reserve and if you think that I seem to transgress the limits that courtesy imposes upon me, pardon me for the liberty I may be taking. If nonviolence is to be evolved in individuals or societies or nations truth has to be told, however harsh or unpopular it may appear to be for the moment.”- Mahatma Gandhi, my great grand uncle by marriage.
Your decisions, actions and appointments have left your heroes and moral progressives aghast and disappointed. Unless you have given up and replaced Mahatma Gandhi, Martin King, Jr., and Cesar Chavez with Peter the Great, Napoleon and Genghis Khan as your heroes you are incongruent.
In 1983 I was offered $30,000,000.00 to launch a campaign that would result in my being President of the USA. I have given thoughtful consideration of the challenges and policy decisions and how specifically my administration would govern. I have explored how to incorporate the principles that Jesus Christ, Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr. and others lived that We the People may fulfill the destiny of our American Republic that you lead.
Step one is to Walk your Talk. In this you have failed in so many ways. By not Walking your Talk you dishonor your spoken word, stated heroes, adopted Tribe and a destiny that is yours to choose.
Examples: Cap and Trade Congressional Corpracratic Welfare to dirty Coal dooms our oceans: specifically all shell fish, i.e. 1 billion seed oysters were killed from deep Carbonic Acid Ocean water coming on shore. The Ocean’s carbon dioxide saturation is past the tipping point. The foods that sustain Salmon and Whales like shrimp and krill will disappear. Oceans are dying.
Health Care: Insurance and Big Pharma get bigger profits we get poor care, mandatory insurance payments and high drug costs. Corporate Agriculture detrimentally impacts our health and Global Warming. War with no Peace you are flunking or thinking of you as just another Bush bent on the destruction of our Republic would not come often to mind
I have sent my many constructive communications to you on several topics. Posted @ www.tmgandhi.blogspot.com. I had hoped my decades of study, experience and some wisdom could contribute knowledge to you missed by your education, life experience or advisors. Thank you for your letter and for cutting back on HAARP.
I had attended Rep. Norm Dicks Health Care Town Hall Meeting with 1,100 others sharing air just before I got deathly ill with Swine Flu and complications. I had asked Norm: “Why are Stakeholders writing, the so called, Health Care Bill (I had read.) but no Medicaid or Medicare Clients were asked or allowed to participate?” He had no answer. I’d gone door to door for Norm in the 1970s. Because of 2,900,000 MREMS of Hanford’s radiation at birth I’ve been on Medicaid since 1993. An RN my whole life has been about surviving an ongoing death threat.
Apparently placing my Hope in you to lead us into a healthy nonviolent future is not wise. Your stated heroes had connected their hearts with their minds, faced their inner demons and with heart felt compassion inspired others to follow to make changes.
Mr. Obama even though you have dashed my hope in you so many times I will keep you in my prayers that you may know in your heart the inner Presence of a Loving God.

Mr. Obama You have Lost my Vote

Dear Mr. President,
You have lost my vote! Your promise to Big Pharma that they would not be required to negotiate prices for drugs that Medicare, Medicaid or a Public Option would pay dooms Health Care Reform. This rip off will inflate the cost of these programs without increasing care. This is Corpracratic pay back. Just like Senator Baucus.
Medicaid reductions of $300 million could have easily come from Big Pharma instead of care for those least able to pay will suffer for what will be denied
My hope is dashed as Big Pharma will feel no pain financially but many families and old people will continue to choose between Prescription Drugs and food or heat. Continuing to pay 70% more than other Nations do for Big Pharma products hurts all Americans. $2,000.00 to $4,000 more per person in “Medical Costs” contributes to Insurance Corporations being able to pay $23 million for a CEO. Obscene profits allow current stakeholders to spend $500 million to buy votes, media and Town Hall disruptors.
This is not really Health Care but Medical/Insurance/ Pharmaceuticals getting only as much Reform as stakeholders’ profits will allow. Just like the Clinton Reform it was only about who got to profit.
The root causes of many diseases are not looked for. The War on Cancer is a failure because the focus is not on building healthy bodies and sound minds. When I was told I had two years to live in 1987, I was referred to an Internist, a Neurologist, a Cardiologist and a Gynecologist but no one who looked at my whole body. I surrendered to God and asked for a Miracle.
Gerry Goh, M.D., 4th generation Acupuncturist, herbalist and FBI M.D. treated me and in 1993 he declared me brain tumor and cancer free. His treatment was not covered by my “Medical Insurance Plan.
In 1977 I was denied surgery by Group Health. A private surgeon spent two and a half hours doing surgery and I spent ten days in the hospital. I would have died from sepsis. Trained as a Registered Nurse I knew the risk and paid a very heavy price.
President Obama your choices of Michael Taylor at FDA/Monsanto and Agriculture Secretary Vilsack, pro GMO/Monsanto insures that status quo pesticide use will destroy the health of millions and cost hundreds of millions of dollars to treat..
Mr. President you sold out. With a heavy heart and angst I quit as there is no hope.

Former Democratic Precinct Committeewoman; Delegate to Washington State Democratic Convention; Volunteer Democratic National Headquarters 1980 and fourth generation democrat. Democrats and Republicans, like you, are Corpracrats so I quit,

250,000 percent mark-up on drug prices are Obscene!
As we have revealed in past issues of "Life Extension," a significant percentage of drugs sold in the United States contain active ingredients made in other countries. In our independent investigation of how much profit drug companies really make, we obtained the actual price of active ingredients used in some of the most popular drugs sold in America.
The information below speaks for itself.
Celebrex 100 mg Consumer price (100 tablets): $130.27
Cost of general active ingredients: $0.60 Percent markup: 21,712%;
Claritin 10 mg Consumer Price (100 tablets): $215.17
Cost of general active ingredients: $0.71 Percent markup: 30,306%;
Norvasec 10 mg Consumer price (100 tablets): $188.29
Cost of general active ingredients: $0.14 Percent markup: 134,493%;
Prevacid 30 mg Consumer price (100 tablets): $44.77
Cost of general active ingredients: $1.01 Percent markup: 34,136%;
Prilosec 20 mg Consumer price (100 tablets): $360.97
Cost of general active ingredients $0.52 Percent markup: 69,417%;
Prozac 20 mg Consumer price (100 tablets): $247.47
Cost of general active ingredients: $0.11 Percent markup: 224,973%;
Tenormin 50 mg Consumer price (100 tablets): $104.47
Cost of general active ingredients: $0.13 Percent markup: 80,362%;
Vasotec 10 mg Consumer price (100 tablets): $102.37
Cost of general active ingredients: $0.20 Percent markup: 51,185%;
Xanax 1 mg Consumer price (100 tablets): $136.79
Cost of general active ingredients: $0.024 Percent markup: 569,958%; and
Zoloft 50 mg Consumer price: $206.87
Cost of general active ingredients: $1.75 Percent markup: 11, 821% .
Since the cost of prescription drugs is so outrageous, I thought everyone I knew should know about this. (...) Well we all know the drug companies make obscene profits but little did I know just how obscene they really are when it comes to ripping off an ever increasing number of sick people in the world.

One billion Ocean Shore Canaries are dead.

Is ACES (HR2454) and U.S. Senate a Danger to Global Warming Solutions?
The American Energy and Security Act of 2009 ACES (Voted 219 - 212 in House) is an embarrassment and our Congressional Representative should know what you think. If made into a law with out significant changes in the Senate it will cause you, President Obama, to be very embarrassed before the Global Community of Nations and Tribes that will gather in Copenhagen this December for COP15 - Global Warming Treaty making.
ACES gives billions of dollars of Cap and Trade pollution permits to the Coal Industry; guts enforcement by the EPA; and does not require, nor give enforcement power to require the changes that are necessary to be made sooner rather than later. The valuable Cap and Trade permits given for “free” will most likely drive the next Wall Street coup d’etat.
Later is too late as the tipping point has already been reached in the Pacific Ocean. We’ve been told the oceans will be dead in forty years. To solve the interwoven problems some American “Sacred Cows”, like coal, diesel – ubiquitous petroleum products and corporate chemical agriculture will need to be open to changes that must be made to avert immediate unthinkable consequences.
One billion oysters, “Shore Canaries”, are dead! Deep ocean water have since 2005 been saturated with carbon dioxide thus turning the normally alkaline ocean waters into Carbonic Acid. Driven by northern winds the deep acid ocean waters have washed ashore killing One Billion Seed Oysters. This acid ocean water will kill shell-fish and shrimp, a major food of Northwest and Alaskan Salmon.
The Great Pacific Ocean Garbage “Patch” is 60’ deep, the size of Texas and made up mostly of petro-chemical products. Ghost reefs made up of petro-chemical fishing nets and ropes trap and kill massive numbers of the ocean’s multiple species. For the first time the Dead Zone from the Mississippi River’s Agra-biz chemical runoffs reaches all the way to the bottom of the Gulf and is huge. Dead Zones are found around the planet as lack of oxygen kills all life.
The quality of our common future and the least of us depend upon what we do:
Because our oceans are dying; our food growing seeds and soils are poisoned; as are the aquifers our foods use to grow. Every half hour an Indian farmer drinks ¾ cup of RoundUp® by Monsanto to commit suicide. Monsanto in charge of food production in India is a huge disaster. It may happen here, as President Obama has appointed Michael Taylor a former Monsanto Executive as EPA Food Safety Czar.
Because the Health of all earths’ peoples and species are at risk unless major public policy choices are made that will be very difficult, require sacrifice and a new paradigm; Because so many have given us the tools, wisdom, compassion and courage to know that we can made a difference;
Please made a law that puts into place mandates, enforcement and real incentives that will promote the changes that are needed to be made in public policies worthy of you, our Global Leader, representing we the people to set a strong moral example to the gathered world leaders in December in order to create a Global Warming Treaty that agrees to make changes to stop the harmful practices that contribute to Global Warming.
War contributes a huge amount of polluting particulate matter in Earth’s skies, waters and our air. It consumes almost 50% of our petroleum use and is a huge contributor to Global Warming. Nano particles of depleted uranium are now circulating the globe with deadly radioactive dust. 3.6 million watts of electricity used by HAARP to stretch out the ionosphere and direct associated war making programs are contributing to generations of problems yet to come from technologies impacting our atmosphere on a regular basis and this can not be good. Today we experience severe weather more often than ever before. Common sense says there’s a link.
Please Mr. President, we are counting on your leadership as the Corpracratic Congress is unable to get beyond self interest of corporate donors and make hard choices for the survival of humanity and the oceans. Are you able to rise above being the first to spend a billion dollars to be President?

Thank you.

Lobbyists Paying to Write Health Care Their Way

Dear President Obama,
The Senate Finance Committee has secured their personal fortunes and sold out the American public. Trying to get bi- partisan support from Corpracrats is futile and unwise. The following no longer represent the people only the Corporations that have bought them off. This way of conducting the people’s business needs to change.
There are 100 members of the Senate, but these six, inexplicably, seem to be holding all the cards when it comes to health care.

So you probably won't be surprised to learn that all six have taken a huge amount of money from the health insurance industry and Big Pharma.* The following Senators should be shunned and charges brought against them:
Senator and Lifetime contributions from Insurance/Pharma
Sen. Max Baucus (D-MT)
$1,203,205 (I heard $3.4 million.-tmg)
Sen. Jeff Bingaman (D-NM)
$206,297
Sen. Kent Conrad (D-ND)
$442,165
Sen. Mike Enzi (R-NV)
$342,228
Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA)
$702,595
Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-ME)
$161,706
TOTAL:
$3,058,256

These six senators — who, by the way, represent only 2.74% of Americans — are writing bad policy, and they're doing it while they take money from the very companies who stand to benefit the most.
I read HR3200’s Public Option and it must stay in. $23 million to an Insurance executive could cover a lot of people with excellent care. “Free Market” Profiteering does not belong in what should be not-for-profit care giving.
If I had surrendered to Group Health denying me surgery that saved my life in 1977 I would have been dead three decades ago and a lot of people would be worst off for my not doing what I have with my life. If I had not taken desperate measures to live I would be a US Senator today or at the least working in the Senate.
Sincerely outraged at Profiteers,
Theresa Marie K. Gandhi

Obama Monsanto's Talyor FDA Food Czar

Dear President Obama and White House Folks,
I thought maybe you understood how the Monsanto products, i.e RoundUp, etc. are linked with a number of diseases: erect penile dysfunction, testicular atrophy, cancer, Parkinson’s disease, etc. because these products are endocrine disruptors and feminize males. Herbicides, pesticides and products designed to kill make for sick people who incur major health care expenses. GMO seeds like RoundUp Ready are even worse. I have over 1,800 files proving the link between herbicides (sometimes called pesticides), that is Monsanto products that according to peer review scientific studies are linked with several diseases.
Demark has banned their products because they migrate into the water table.
The following news tells me your knowledge and that of your Cabinet is either lacking or you have a very dark agenda.
According to "The 100 Year Lie" by Fitzgerald testicular atrophy is up 600% since these products of Monsanto came on the market. Fitzgerald has created a time line of diseases and their increase and chemicals created. Monsanto's products are directly connected to over $100 million in health care costs.
If this is bad enough YOU put Monsanto in charge of "Food Safety".
“In a Tuesday afternoon press release, the FDA announced that Michael Taylor, a former Monsanto executive, had joined the agency as “senior advisor to the commissioner.” If the title is vague, the portfolio (pasted from the press release) is substantial—a kind of food czar of the Food and Drug Administration….” www.Grist.org clip from Tom Philpott on “Monsanto’s Taylor FDA Food Czar”.

Monsanto Runs the FDA?
Monsanto, Monsanto
evil and mean
lies and hides
truth from sight
by might of law
with no oversight.
With corporate folk
guarding the gate
closed and shut
truth hid and gone
with no oversight
as profits are the pride
truth must hide.
Health takes a slide
millions will die
as Monsanto’s guys, run the FDA
truth hides, out of sight
as Congress and Cabinet are bought off
with no oversight, to stop a blight.

Sky Shield of Barium -Aluminum Very Bad Idea

Professor John P. Holdren, Director Office of Science and Technology
Executive Office of the President, 725 17th St., Room 5228
Washington, D.C. 20502

Dear Director Holdren:
It has come to my attention that the Global Warming crisis has opened up a discussion on ways to possibly geo-engineer the climate as a potential emergency option. You should ask to be briefed on a planet wide program to spray barium, aluminum oxide, and other chemicals at high elevation that expand to create a cloud cover from horizon to horizon after multiple passes from the military planes at high elevation since 1998. Some pilots have gotten bored with just straight back and forth to fill the sky and instead make huge horizon to horizon tic-tac-toes grids. A sunny day becomes overcast.
I have witnessed this happening in four states. Polarized sunglasses make the cloud cover look like oil slicks. Not so with con-trails. Videos, books and web pages have shared captured images with several million people. Heavy chem-trails (common name confirmed with tests) were observed everyday for more than 45 days at a time. During this time no rain or snow fell. Drought records were broken in state after state. Even during the monsoon season spray equaled no rain.
There are several unintended consequences (or maybe not) of this ongoing eleven year program. Several countries have reported and recorded chem-trails. Chem-trails are showing up in films and on television as it is hard to have days when the sky is clear.
Laboratory tests have confirmed the presence of barium which does not occur naturally or normally. The pH of soils is being changed and crops are acquiring unexpected problems as farmers are perplexed as to why this is happening.
Even if this is part of HAARP; the Navy’s RFMP military program; the Air Force controlling the weather; or biological tests of DAARPA the consequences are too high.
Ongoing chronic and acute illnesses have resulted with physicians stumped as to what is causing a new syndrome. This has increased health care costs. Specifically a nationwide epidemic increase in cases of nose bleed, asthma, allergies, pneumonia, upper respiratory symptoms (that last and last) and a noticeable increase in arthritis symptoms. The chemical changes on the planet create conditions detrimental to health because it creates conditions just right for harmful mold and fungus. Not to mention the link between aluminum and the epidemic of memory loss, Alzheimers, and dementia.
Attached are articles by just two of the investigators that have reported and recorded the “mystery” program patented by Eastland.
Rather than trying to patch a problem why not get to the root and stop what is causing the problem? Prevention is always less expensive than a maybe solution. I have a few ideas on probable solutions. I’ve been discussing Global Survival with world leaders since 1983.

Respectfully,
Theresa Marie K. Gandhi
