Many good points. I would have loved it if you had also asked the President to replace ALL of the Bush leftover US Attorneys that were politically chosen by Karl Rove. EVERY President has cleaned out the US attorneys of the previous administration upon entry into the White House and has replaced them. NOT Obama. He kept every Bush attorney in place, leaving us with a politicized, highly compromised Justice system. He could easily have just reversed the moves made during the Bush administration and could have restored the fine US Attorneys that were wrongfully terminated like Carol Lam and David Iglesias. We have a terrible Department of Justice inherited from the Bush administration. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/01/18/AR2007011801880.html http://www.marinecorpstimes.com/news/2007/04/military_usattorneyfired_reservist_070405/ Thank you for the letter.

President Obama's words are powerful but few can hear what he says because the actions of the US are so loud. Truly, we must adjust our behavior to create the conditions for the vision our president articulates so well. Very thoughtful response.
