Tony Alamo's Letter to President Clinton
January 3, 2011
Dear President Clinton:
I hope that you are doing well. As you may know, I am in prison: I was prosecuted for my faith. God has given me spirit and strength. I have had a chance to be inspired by God while in prison, and as I reflect on my life, I see how much you were a friend of mine. I am writing you this letter to let you know you were a good friend of mine, and I am very proud that one of my friends was able to win two terms of presidency.
My old friend, I still remember all the good days and the good times we spent together. Yes, we had our differences. We did not agree on everything, but we were there for each other in our times of need. I did not appreciate that you compared me to “Roy Orbison on speed” in your book. Thank you for writing nice things about my lovely wife, Susan. May God let her soul rest in peace. I also want to send you my congratulations on your beautiful daughter Chelsea’s marriage. I always ask God to bless you and your family, make you prosper in life, and keep you all in good health.
Clinton, my friend, I know how much time you dedicate to our country. I know you made a lot of sacrifices. God will always bless you for what you did for our country. Never before did our people enjoy happiness and economic prosperity as they did while you were our president. You made a lot of progress on the home front. You were faced with tough issues on the international front, such as the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. As a believer in Jesus Christ, I truly believe you, as a mediator in these negotiations, did more than any other person in this conflict. Things did not work well in the pursuit of peace, despite your best efforts to mediate a solution, and the breakdown of Camp David led to the bloodshed in the Holy Land, the land of Christ.
Mr. President, as a believer in Christ, I sought His guidance to find a way to bring peace to the Holy Land and to solve the world deficit. I am very sure that the different strategies I have in mind will work very well to bring peace to the Holy Land and its people. I need you to take some of your time and come to see me in person. There is no doubt in my mind that my strategies will work, if they are followed and implemented by competent people. I need to see you in person, my friend. These ideas can’t be written and mailed. They are too complicated.
I have found the real solution to that conflict, and for the deep thought and the hard work that I put in, I have certain demands. I need you to promote and advocate on my behalf, as you have been a strong advocate of international human rights. I assume that you are going to take my letter in good faith and come to see me. If you can’t come to see me in person, I hope you will send a representative to work out the strategies.
Sincerely,
Tony Alamo
