March 28, 2004 President George W. Bush The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Washington, DC 20500
Dear Mr. President,
You could have blown me over with a feather! You’ll never guess what I found in my post office box yesterday--my second personal letter from you!
You can imagine how excited I was--I took it right home and matted it and put it in my best frame and took it up to my studio to carefully hang it in my most treasured place right next to my first letter from you and right under my autographed picture of Billy Graham, when all of a sudden I noticed something: The signature on my second letter is exactly the same as the first!
I’m not saying they just looked pretty much the same--I sign my name the same way every time. No--they are exactly the same. I noticed that the tip of the “G” in your first name (George) touches the “y” in “Sincerely” in exactly the same place in both letters. Your signature is sort of scribbled, but the part that must be the small “g” circles around the “rge” in the typewritten “George” in exactly the same way. I even got out my tape measure, and every figure is exactly the same size!
So I got to thinking--You didn’t really sign those two “personal” letters to me! They must have been stamped! Which makes me think maybe you didn’t even write them! Maybe you didn’t even read what was said! You probably have secretaries who just crank out these form letters and maybe you even have a machine that stamps your signature!
So how can I know if you’re really “honored to lead Our Nation” or if you’ve really taken “important steps to secure our homeland” or if you’re really “working to strengthen our economy and to ensure that all citizens can realize the promise of America?” Why should I believe that “Laura joins (you) in sending our best wishes,” when you DIDN’T EVEN WRITE THE LETTER?!
Another thing--in your first letter to me, you thanked me for remembering you in my prayers and said you were praying for our troops and praying for “God’s peace in the affairs of men,” and you “thank(ed) God for our Nation’s many blessings.” In this letter, you didn’t mention God once and you didn’t pray a single time. You’re not having a “crisis of faith” are you? I hope you didn’t see Mel Gibson’s new movie. That would make anybody think twice about wanting to be a Messiah!
I just think if you send out a document with your signature, it should really be your signature and you should know what’s being said. I got an autographed picture from John Kerry, and I’m almost sure it was his real signature.
Sincerely, Carl Estrada
