Dear Mr. President and Madame Vice President,
After four years, I’ll no longer cringe when I see the flag!
As I sit here with less than 48 hours until your Inauguration and am filled with both anticipation and hope. Anticipation because I hope the events run smoothly void of the evil that infiltrated the Capitol last week.
On this eve before you are President Biden and Vice President Harris, I’m filled with hope!
Hope because the last four years had left me hopeless. The Coward; the liar; the racist; the misogynist; the anti-American who did absolutely nothing of substance or nothing good or positive for our America has left our beautiful country in shambles and broken. Our America, Lady Liberty needs to heal. We the people need to heal.
The damaged country as we know her now will heal. And she will rise even stronger—because that is what America is. An empowering stronghold. We suffered from the throws of a leader who did not care about our country but instead, put himself first.
Like Hitler, he conned the under-and uneducated, and enticed the wealthy with tax breaks. He lacked a moral compass and so did his supporters.
I want to put that behind me and us now.
I want to feel safe and reassured that my Government will, once again, put its arms around us and help and guide us with your leadership.
It won’t be easy for either of you. Joe—you have a contingent of people who deem you an extreme liberal—when in reality, you are a moderate who leans to the left. Just as I and millions of citizens who love our country lean. Kamala—don’t let those who feel having a woman in power isn’t right. They are ignorant. We are proud and beaming with joy that you, you, have made history—not only as the first woman Vice President, but also as the first woman Vice President of color. It is a glorious moment for all of us!
Both of you. Please be true to your word. Please put we, the American people, first. Please put our country first. Bring us back to glory. The words you said about having a moral obligation were so honest and so correct. The moral obligation of the past president was null and void as it also was with his Republican congress and his cronies. But then, what would you expect from those with no moral compass?
I do believe you will bring a moral compass back to our congress. I do believe you can be the key to bi-partisanship once more. For we cannot be a complete America without both parties coming together.
So please. Be careful. Don’t display a false sense of security because that last leader garnered a cult following of wicked, dishonorable, corrupt people who will continue to ruin our country.
I wish you luck. I wish you success. Godspeed.
With love, admiration, and hope,
Your Fellow American,
Catherine Lartigue
