Dr. President Obama

I am writing to you today to request a reprieve. You are interested in charging Canadian Snowbirds $5.95 per person on land and sea entry to the USA> While we are talking a tit for tat
I am requesting a payback of a portion of the 10.9 billion dollars that Canada used to bail out GM. A bailout that your country as well as ours is enjoying. Should I mention that GM had a great quarter, giving their employees raises- but no monetary gain is felt by the Canadian Gov't who funded the famous vehicle manufactuer.

Now let's go back in history. To 911, we all remember that day. One more piece of history when USA citizen's were downed in one of Canada's poorest provinces. Your countrymen were billited to homes to sustain the allien souls until the aviation airspace was deemed safe. The homes that they saught shelter were not expecting people to literally drop out of the skies and basic needs from toilet paper to milk flew off the store shelves at premium prices. Remember a Walmart was not just a hop skip and jump away. SO once again the Canadians paid and welcomed their USA cousins, and pleased to do this. Was there a toll> Was there a reward? Notta.

In short $5.95 for entry into the USA is not going to break the deal, however one thing is important to note that the Snowbirds bring in economy for 6 months into your country that would otherwise be spent above the border. Your unemployment is at 12% now with our tourism. What would it be if we were not in your midst. Hmm is the $5.95 really worth collecting?

I am waiting for your reply........................ And I am not charging for it!!
