Letter to Ross Perot
Date: February 18, 2000
To: Ross Perot
Dear Mr. Perot:
The 2000 election campaign has all the potential of being one that
changes the course of American history, regardless of the outcome. This
great nation of ours stands at a crossroads, and the most pressing issue
of the hour is whether we will choose to end this 224 year experiment in
liberty by ceding our sovereignty to organizations over which we have no
control, where our voice is but one small peep in an alien, and oftentimes
hostile, crowd.
Unfortunately, the candidate of either of the major parties, whether
it be McCain or Bush, Gore or Bradley, will continue down the pathway that
takes us to national oblivion. Perhaps there are among these men those
who would take us along that path at a slower pace than others, but the
road itself and the goal to which it leads has been predetermined. Their
victory will mark the 21st Century as the beginning of a new era: that in
which the city on the hill finally decided to extinguish the light.
However, it need not be this way. America, the land of patriots,
still has those who know how to respond to the call to arms. You, sir,
are foremost among these patriots, because you have created a vehicle that
can serve as an effective tool for the preservation of the American way of
life. That vehicle, of course, is the Reform Party, and no one can take
away the credit that belongs to you alone for having given birth to this
last bastion of American freedom.
Now another man has come along to pick up the mantle that you have so
worthily prepared. His name is Patrick Buchanan. In the few months since
he has come into your party, I have seen an energy and excitement
generated not to be equalled by any other candidate. People (like myself)
who had nearly given up on politics have been energized. Patriots can now
hope that all is not yet lost. Sir, please ensure the future success of
this movement that you have launched to preserve our country by doing all
you can to help this man. Our country depends on it.
I apologize for my presumption in sending this message to you, but I
would be greatly honored if you would at least consider my plea, not on
the basis of who I am (for I am no one), but on the basis of your own
instinct as to what you know is best for our country. May God bless you
in all things.
Sincerely,
Danny Toma
