Mr. Governor,
Good Afternoon. My name is Robert King, a student at Eastern Kentucky University and more importantly a citizen of the Commonwealth. I want to first commend you in the recent years for doing what I believe is an exceptional job in controlling our state’s finances and for actually shrinking our per citizen state debit (Approximately $9,434 per citizen as I write this, according to www.usdebtclock.org). However, I am writing to you today to discuss the absolute frustration and fear I have of our national debit. As I am sure you agree, our country is spending far too much in a time where our economic system is crippled. Today I come to you with what I believe to be a solution. For the past month, I have been challenging Representative Ben Chandler to donate 1 percent of his income directly to United States Treasury, in hopes of suffocating this disturbing national debit. Today, I am challenging you to do the same.
Fortunately, you will not be alone. Members of Congress, such as Representative Daniel Webster of Florida have vowed to contribute 1% of the salary, and encouraged his to do the same. Personal friends of mine from all over the United Stated have been challenging their elected officials to do same, in hopes that together, we can solve the issues our public servants are failing to fix. All of us have as well contributed 1 percent of our income specifically to be used against the National Debit. We believe that spending cuts are not a viable solution, but actions from individuals are necessary.
I am enclosing my check for $3.23 addressed to the United States Treasury specifically to be used against the National Debit, an estimated 1 percent of my income for the past week. It is my hope you will forward it to the right people and considering writing a check of your own. By no means am I trying to be political Governor, I am just begging those that claim to represent me for results.
If you have any questions about my challenge or solution, please feel free to contact me.
I eagerly await your reply and offer only sincere and most kind regards,
Robert Charles King
