Dear Renee' E. DeShazor
Thank
you for your
Better late than never…
To
me, it is absolutely incomprehensible that I
-Bush supporter- could have been so far off-base about our President and
the individuals in government that represent him.
You stated in your reply: (quote)
To date, a year ago I requested a visa status change
for a male
This
company -now dissolved- consisted of a partnership formed by three U.S.
citizens and members of my family along with two Slovakians who were absolutely
vital to the survival of this enterprise, who not only supplied cash money but
more important knowledge and expertise, especially overseas contacts, an agent
and producers to make this venture possible.
I dare say, nobody involved in the decision making
process of this current government can possibly imagine the overwhelming damage
inflicted on the lives of those involved, this due to sheer stupidity and
short-sightedness.
In
short, the company was forced to dissolve because of government bureaucracy at
its finest, while everyone here lost their lifetime investment, and that's not
all. Losses also have been inflicted by more delays on orders of Dept. of Home
Security.
Thank
God, we did not import fish while only losing the 2003 season before finally
obtaining our first containers.
With time at a premium, bureaucrats in Washington, DC
and Lincoln, NE have proven to be unable of thinking outside the confines of
their cubicles, while Immigration officials wasting months in returned three
(3) times) the applicable documents without as much as noting or acknowledging
accompanying letters with detailed, specific, concise explanations, obviously
unable to understand a clear, direct and concisely written letter in English.
This
all long before I started to contact the President as a last resort, including
travel to
The
Senator's aid in Milwaukee -in my presence- contacted the Nebraska Immigration
official who has signed the returned documents, only to be put off by his
impertinence and eventually being hang-up on.

Worst
yet, a processing-filing fee (cashier's check) valid for only
six (6) months has yet to be returned. Please explain WHO has pocketed that
money.
I
must demand an investigation and reply from your offices as you can surely
imagine I am still required to file 2004 Federal Income Tax statements,
concerning declaration and dissolution of the company and its finances.
The
afore mentioned just on a personal basis, you now should consider additional
losses to the nation, such as the jobs we outsourced to various local
manufacturing companies, U.S. shipping and trucking companies, least of all
taxes to the government and not to mention unable to hire exclusively employees
age 50 and over (who in this country are already severely discriminated against
because of age).
The
crowning glory and severity of this situation is the cause of a broken up a
family and in my case an eminent divorce in the making.
Sole catalyst:
At age 61 I'm the largest investor and all around
losses have driven me personally way past depression to the final stage of RESIGNATION,
a life without a future…its over!
What
more profound is there to be said?
One
can only wonder what this government does to other citizens it is supposed to
serve.
From
another perspective, I arrived on these shores in 1966, was drafted within six
(6) months, am a Vietnam Veteran, all this while I was denied U.S.
citizenship upon request before being shipped overseas.
Not
once did I asked nor received government assistance while contributing a
lifetime to this country and its well being.
Upon
returning home from
...today??? Can it get worse?
Unable
to even get a silly work permit for my European part-owners/business partners
of an American company (www.rattan-galleryusa.com), to apply their much needed
expertise in a locally owned and built company that benefits the American
economy and workforce, unless they hold a NOBEL PRICE or invest a MILLION
$$$ - 9/11..HOME SECURITY ACT
...yet this government does convey legal status upon 'Illegals'
from south of the border
(RE:
article Dallas Morning News)
Do
I need to say more?
Madam, these lines are not directed towards you
personally, but what has transpired in this instance is beyond description and
shames
Being
subjected to the hypocrisy of recent political television ads really brings
matters to the forefront, while I see nothing but apathy from the lowest to the
highest ranks in government, your office is not the only one. With more than 30
years of business experience, I can only say, just once place a government
employee in private business and observe how far they get. Has anyone ever
heard of: THE BUCK STOPS HERE?
Do
you have the guts to forward these lines directly to the President?
Please, don't reply, I am well qualified to furnish
my own answer.
Instead,
please take time out and check: www.karlofgermany.com/2002.htm
God
save us all.
Sincerely,
