Lou  Pritchett is one of corporate America 's true living  legends --- He
is a former P & G executive, an  acclaimed author, a dynamic teacher, and one
of the  world's most highly rated speakers.


You  may remember a previous letter he wrote in 2009 to  President Obama
and the New York Times which went  viral.
**********************************  ***********

From  a speech given by Lou Pritchett April 15,  2012:

"I was born in year two of the Great  Depression (1931) and spent the first
10 years of my  life influenced by the extreme hardships of the
depression. By today's standards my family was about  a mile below today's so called
'poverty level'; but  if you never 'had'---doing without was not so 'bad'.
Borrowing shoes to graduate from the 8th grade  didn't seem at all demeaning
because most of the 8th  graders did the same thing.

In June 1944, my  only brother, Joe, was killed in action on Utah   Beach in
Normandy , France during the D-Day  landings. Exactly one year later, my
father died and  left me, my mother and my sister to go it alone. and  alone
we went. My mother went to work at a  department store, my sister dropped out
of school  and joined her and I went to work shining shoes on  the streets
of Memphis for a dime a  shine.

Government assistance was not  available and if it were I am confident my
mother  would have refused it because she never wanted the  government
involved in our lives.

I mention  this bit of personal history to help you understand  that
millions of Americans, including your parents  and grandparents, grew up like me
during the Great  Depression and never expected nor wanted the  government to
offer them anything other than an   Opportunity , and now to see what Obama
is trying to  do to our country tends to make you crazy. As some  of you
know, my "Scare Me" letter went viral with  millions of hits on the internet
during the past 3  years. I have now written a follow-up letter which I  will
now share with you. It will be released to the  press.
**********************************  **************

To the editors:

"In  April 2009, I sent President Obama and the New York  Times a letter
titled "You Scare Me" because, as a  candidate, he promised to "fundamentally
transform   America ." Now, after observing his performance for  over three
years, he no longer scares me--- he  terrifies me for the following reasons:

FIRST  He has done more to damage America 's standing in  the world, to
lower the standard of living in   America , to impoverish future generations and
to  shake our faith in the country's future than any  other American
president in history.

SECOND--  With a compliant Democrat congress, a lapdog media  and a weak,
almost nonexistent Republican  opposition, he has shattered the American
dream of  job security, home ownership and rugged  individualism for millions of
Americans and has  poisoned and divided our civil society with his
politics of envy, class warfare, race warfare, and  religious warfare which he is
using as fundamental  building blocks for his 'socialist'  agenda.

THIRD culturally, he remains totally  out of touch traditional American
values. This has  absolutely nothing to do with race or where he was  born,
rather it has everything to do with where, how  and with whom he was raised,
schooled, educated,  trained and associates with still  today.

FOURTH-- he has surrounded himself  with naive academicians, lawyers,
politicians,  bureaucrats and socialist leaning czars who  arrogantly think and
behave exactly as he does.  People who offer no balanced suggestions or
devil's  advocate positions and think in lock step with him  that big government
is the answer to all our  problems.

FIFTH-- he not only encourages but  aids and abets the unionization of all
American  industry, the albatross around the neck of the free  market. In
turn, they provide the money and muscle  to intimidate his opponents.

SIXTH-- he has  increased the national debt by over 30% in just  three
years. If re-elected and this rate of increase  continues, America will be
burdened with an  unsustainable 20 trillion dollar debt which will  result in the
Country's financial death. Recovery  will be impossible--------- America
will be the   Greece of 2016.

SEVENTH-- given his fanatical  beholding to the 'environmental' and
'man-caused  global warming' fringe, he has deliberately  discouraged U.S. fossil
fuel exploration and  production while wasting millions of tax payer  dollars
on solar, wind and algae experiments. He  refuses to accept that oil, gas
and coal are not   America 's enemies, they are America 's assets,  which,
properly managed, could make us energy  independent within a generation.

EIGHTH-- He  views the U.S. as a power in retreat which abused  its World
dominance. Therefore he systematically  apologizes round the world. Last
March he whispered  to Russian President Medvedev "--this is my last  election.
After my election, I have more  flexibility". Just what is the secret that
Obama and  Putin are concealing from the American people until  after the
election? With what other leaders has he  made similar secret agreements?

NINTH---and  finally, after all his mis-steps, bad decision  making, poor
management, and zero leadership, the  fact that he has the audacity to seek
re-election  should terrify every American.

I predict that  if re-elected, future historians and political
interpreters will look back at the eight year period  2008-2016, and conclude "the 44th
President of the   U.S. allowed the takers to overpower the payers  which
resulted in the greatest economy in history  vanishing from the face of the
Earth".

Farewell America , the World will  really miss you!"

Lou Pritchett April 15,  2012

It is my hope and prayer that this  letter will also go viral and serve as
a 'wake up'  call to Americans of all political leaning,  convincing them
that never before in U.S. history  has so much depended on Americans
understanding that  we are facing one of the greatest crises in U.S.  history.
Convincing them that this election will be  won not by letters to the editor,
political speeches  or radio and TV sound bites.

No! it will be  won by those with a conviction, with a belief and  with a
willingness to pay the price in helping put  the most enlightened voters in
the polling booth on  November 6.

Let me end on my favorite quote  which I think is very appropriate for each
of us  today---


"TO  EVERY MAN
There comes in his lifetime that  special moment when he is physically
tapped on the  shoulder and offered the chance to do a very special  thing,
unique to him and fitted to his talent; what  a tragedy if that moment finds him
unprepared or  unqualified for the work which would be his finest  hour."
Those words spoken by Winston Churchill  over 70 years ago are very
appropriate  today.

For if each of us is prepared and is  qualified then November 6, 2012, just
might be our  and our Country's finest hour as we reclaim this  "shining
city on the hill" from the ravages of Obama  Socialism.

IT IS NOW OR NEVER FELLOW  PATRIOTS-- I would add "God help us not to
Fail"!
