Four issues that need addressing
[Letter submitted to Senate Majority Leader Howard Baker, 5 April 1982]

Dear Senator Baker:

I am writing this letter as an American citizen who, since 1952, predicted the current situation, and who fought for years to awaken the consciousness of Americans.

First, I would like to express my appreciation for your loyalty to the President, but at the same time I would like to see an improvement in your ACU voting record.... For many years, American Presidents, Senators, and Congressmen (some maybe unconsciously) worked towards the destruction of America by creating laws which satisfied egoistic group interests (unions and other organizations). They did not realize, or did not care, that those laws were against common sense and were damaging to America; they had only one very definite goal: get enough votes for re-election. That is what brought this beautiful country to the present brink of catastrophe. To save America, that old trend must be reversed. President Reagan is trying to do that ... but what about you Senators and Congressmen? To save America, action must be taken immediately and decisively. I call on you and your colleagues to support the President.

Further, I enclose the completed National Opinion Survey on defense policy. To this survey please note: I consider your survey and my following comments meaningful only if America will not declare surrender as promoted by certain traitors (or should I say "comrades"?) like Kennedy, Church, McGovern, O'Neill, and company, by advocating the American freeze of nuclear weapons production.

I. Military Draft and Defense Buildup

I vote, and urge you to vote, for the reinstatement of the military draft for the following reasons:

1. The drug-addicted and illiterate soldiers we have cannot be considered an army equal to the Russian forces.
2. It takes 2-3 years to transform a draftee into a soldier. Considering this fact together with 1) above, we have, for all practical purposes, no army at all.
3. A military draft would immediately decrease the unemployment figure. In addition (and of more importance), it would give the young draftees the opportunity to grow from a "stupid juvenile delinquent" into a man, and it would teach them a profession which many of them could use all their lives.
4. A military draft would save many young irresponsible "idiots" from a premature marriage, with all the harmful consequences as divorces and children from broken homes.
5. I oppose the building of additional large aircraft carriers, considering their cost and usefulness. The building of new carriers, I feel, would be thinking along the line necessities that existed 40 years ago. I believe that building, instead, submarines and a larger quantity of smaller, speedier ships would be much more useful.

II. Social Security, Unemployment, and Welfare Benefits

1. I am strongly opposed to cutting the original, fundamental Social Security benefits, but I just as strongly oppose payments out of the Social Security fund to children of deceased Social Security recipients. Social Security should be paid only to those who participated in that program. (If somebody wants his/ her children to benefit from Social Security, such person should be made to pay more into the Social Security fund during the working years.) If children and/ or other dependents of deceased Social Security recipients need support, they should receive it from sources other than Social Security.
2. I consider paying Social Security to prison inmates as one of the biggest rip-offs of Social Security funds.
3. Unemployment payments should be paid only to people who lost their jobs because of cutbacks on the part of their employers, but they should never receive unemployment benefits when they quit their jobs or when they are on strike.
4. I consider the amount of unemployment and welfare payments much too high. It should be cut down to the lowest possible level, considering that many people prefer to remain on unemployment or welfare than to accept any job because they get more money not working than working. The present system is an incentive not to work.
5. In addition to cutting the unemployment and welfare benefits, I would like to see State-oriented work programs (for instance, planting forests, building dams, etc.) for healthy unemployment or welfare recipients. The refusal to accept such a job should automatically eliminate such "voluntarily unemployed" from further benefit payments.
6. It should be remembered that there are already second-generation welfare recipients, taking advantage of the beautiful word "entitlement" — getting something for nothing.

III. National Debt

The expenses mentioned in Section II above are to a great part responsible for the increase in our national debt and the high amount of interest that had to be paid. It destroyed the economy. I propose to work out a plan (to cover the United States' obligations to the banks) to transfer Government-owned land (at prices dictated by the government) with the obligation that such land must be used and developed (if not for anything else, then for planting forests). The government could help in the latter case by supplying the workers, namely the professionally unemployed (see II, 5 above).

IV. Crime

I definitely demand some action in this matter. America has become a haven for murderers and other outlaws. Our judicial system makes a joke and mockery of common sense by not pursuing justice, but formality and technicality, and in addition, it spends millions of dollars for various rehabilitation programs, which are not successful. I vote for the Electric Chair, for more prisons (and I mean prisons, not sanatoriums), and for stiff, enforced penalties with a mandatory work program. I definitely want to change the today-so-popular expression "crime pays" into the more reasonable "crime does not pay."

I am against gun control, but I am very much for "crime control."

* * *

Senator, it seems to me that America's clock stands at 5 minutes to "midnight"!... There is no time for further discussions, deliberations, and the continuation of the present "mess." I consider President Reagan as America's last chance, but to save America there must be action, quick action, and decisive action! This is especially important as the present chapter of American history belongs to the (delicately speaking) "ultra-liberal" news media, which has shown itself to be most friendly towards Russia, communism, and American presidents who cooperated with them, but which is very negative to President Reagan. The news media hide behind the constitutional "freedom of speech" clause, but ... The American Constitution recognizes only three powers, and there is no room for the fourth power which, however, the news media (thanks to TV) have become. Today, the news media have the power to destroy our President and our country by instigating opposition. You call that freedom of speech? I do not, but I know that the notoriously liberal Supreme Court will....

Another very disturbing factor is our educational system: 10,000 or more Marxist teachers poison the minds of our young Americans, and many high school graduates and some college students cannot spell and count. A Princeton professor (in conjunction with others) stated that about 40% of the American people are functional illiterates!... What is going to happen to them? Educational programs? Has that not been tried with only minimal success? Then what? Welfare again? No, enough. I repeat my proposal for government-created jobs of dam-building and planting forests, as in item II, 5 above.

Many, many more examples can be cited, for instance: what are you doing about our internal security system, which allows (without screening) communists and their sympathizers to hold highly sensitive government positions?...

All the above are reasons for America's domestic and foreign weakness. There are certain influential people in and outside our government who believe that, because of their CFR affiliation and cooperation with Russia, they will gain for America the world government. They are mistaken. There will be Russian government, Russian rules, and American slaves.

Senator, remember, by selling Poland in Yalta to Russia, America opened the door to Europe for Russia. Today ... today we are in the third phase of Lenin's plan: encircle America ... Cuba, Nicaragua, etc., and increased activity of Russia's fifth column right here in the U.S.A. It could very easily be that already our next President will be the one who has no choice but to sign the papers surrendering America to Russia!...

Support President Reagan — take action now — and pray "God save America."

Yours very truly,
Waclaw Bakierowski.
