End of Days?
Dear Mr. President,
I've been hearing all sorts of reports around the world (some included below) and have been getting worried about what all of this means. You have access to all sorts of intelligence reports and people who have studied world events. Does this seem excessive to you? There seems to be an abundance of planes falling out of the sky, floods rising all over the world, wars and fighting erupting in many places (even snipers in New Orleans!), not to mention disease (dare I say) plaguing the people of this earth. I just want to know whether the President of my country is aware of all of this and whether you have thought about preparing our country for what might come? You are a God-fearing man (well, you claim to be). Are these the end of days? Or should we just expect another round of plagues? Should we be making sure our roofs are flame-retardant in anticipation of the rain of fire that may soon come down upon us? Do you think the plague of frogs will be as bad in cities as in towns where ponds and swamps are more prevalent? Would using a bug spray with DEET also help to ward off the gnats, flies and locusts? If this is the end of days, should employers allow the use of vacation and sick time for workers taken by the rapture or can they simply terminate employment for job abandonment? Just wondering.
Planes are falling out of the sky.
Feb. 3, 2005 - An Afghan airliner crashes into a mountain near Kabul, killing all 105 people on board. The Boeing 737 was operated by Afghanistan's only private airline, Kam Air.
Aug. 2, 2005 - An Air France Airbus bursts into flames after overshooting the runway while landing at Toronto's Pearson International Airport in a storm, but all 309 passengers and crew survive.
Aug. 14, 2005 - A Helios Airlines Boeing 737 crashes in the area of Kalamos, 30 km (19 miles) north of the Greek capital, Athens, killing all 121 passengers and crew on board.
Aug. 16, 2005 - A West Caribbean Airways MD-80 aircraft crashes near Venezuela's border with Colombia, in the Sierra de Perija mountains. All 160 passengers and crew are killed.
Aug. 23, 2005 - A Boeing 737-200 aircraft of Peru's state-run airline TANS with 100 people aboard crashes during a severe storm in the country's northeastern jungle, killing at least 40 people and injuring at least 20.
Sept 5, 2005 - A Boeing 737-200 operated by Indonesian carrier Mandala Airlines crashes just after takeoff near Medan, Indonesia's third-biggest city, in northern Sumatra. At least 100 people are feared dead after the plane broke into pieces and set fire to homes and cars.
Disease plaguing the people of this earth
I was going to list all of the outbreaks listed for 2005 on the World Health Organization website, but it was 8 pages long (and it didn't even include incidents of HIV/AIDS)!
Flood waters have risen in several parts of the world.
I was going to list each incident of flooding separately, but it turned out to be over 20 pages long! Here's the most disturbing entry:
March 6th-7th (2005)
In Algeria, heavy rainfall led to flooding in the Saharan desert region that caused 2 deaths and 9 injuries.
I don't know about you, but when I hear about deserts flooding I get nervous. I hope you have a contingency plan that doesn't simply involve you being whisked away by Air Force One.

The automated response from the White House:
On behalf of President Bush, thank you for your correspondence.
In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, President Bush and all
Americans send their thoughts and prayers to the families of
those who have lost lives and to all those affected by this
natural disaster.
The President is directing Federal agencies throughout the
government to do all in their power to assist the victims of
Hurricane Katrina. The top priority is to save and sustain lives.
President Bush established a White House task force to oversee
Hurricane Katrina response and recovery, and he convened a Cabinet
meeting to ensure that Federal agencies' efforts are timely and
fully coordinated. Residents of the Gulf Coast states affected by
the hurricane have lost loved ones, lost homes, and been displaced
from their communities, and they will have the full support of the
Federal government.
The President has called for the coordination of all parties
involved in the response and relief efforts. Federal, state, and
local governments are working side-by-side to deliver relief to
the areas physically damaged by Hurricane Katrina and to
communities across the South that will be affected in the aftermath
of the storm. Efforts and resources are focused on saving lives,
sustaining lives, and supporting long-term recovery. For
information and guidance you may wish to visit the FEMA website at
www.fema.gov or call 800-621-3362 or 800-621-FEMA.
The President has called on all Americans to support the relief and
rescue efforts through charitable contributions and aid. Americans
who wish to contribute can do so by contacting charities that are
assisting with hurricane relief. For more information on relief
and recovery efforts, please visit the USAFreedom Corps website at
www.usafreedomcorps.gov.
Thank you again for taking the time to write.

do you only get boiler-plate drivel responses that are automatically generated, or have you ever received anything that indicates that these emails are being read, at least by someone with a pulse and capable of emotional response?

I have received one letter in response to my "letter" (as my emails were referred to) from the Special Assistant to the President, Director of Presidential Correspondence. I did another email to the president based on that correspondence.
