Greetings Honorable and Duly Elected Officials/Leaders,

This is My letter number 46 and is sent with great concern for the United States of America.

I know that you all realize that the Government of the U.S.A. is currently shut down because of the Self-Centered approach to the Leadership we have duly elected last November 2024.  We have many leaders who are functioning with the mantra of “I Hate Trump” is certainly not in the best interest of the Legal Citizens of our great United States of America.

My next statement is:  “Thank You Very Much Senators Raphael G Warnock and Senator Jon Ossoff.  Your support in terminating the Current Government Shut Down is appreciated.  I speak for Myself, but I am also confident that the Legal Citizens of Georgia also applaud your efforts to keep America Great, Safe and Secure from all enemies, both Foreign and Domestic.  Talking about enemies on the Domestic Front please review this which I quote here:

I have just sent this message to the Honorable Senators, C. Schumer and Murray as well as the Honorable Congressman Jeffries:

“Dear Honorable Senator Schumer,  I realize I can not vote for You.  That Stated I would remind you that You have essentially abused your power in keeping the U.S.A. Government Shut Down.  In addition to New York there are many people who live in the 49 other states that have been severally hurt because of your own self-centered actions.  I am grateful for the actions of My two Georgia Senators.  They have come to realize that the Shut Down is nothing but a power play on Your Part!  This is a sad situation and only You can correct your prior actions.  Therefore please realize that Your Actions have hurt many people.  To insist that "We The People" must pay for the Health Care of the Illegal people that have entered our U.S.A. during the Watch of Joe Biden and Madame Harris is nothing but a screen for your own survival as you struggle with the fact that AOC just may run for your job.  You are attempting to appease your Voters who live in New York.  Yet You to continue to impact the Health and Safety of thos who live in the other 49 states.  As My Departed  Mom used to remind us, "Shame On You!!!”

I am totally aware that each of You have more important things to accomplish than read yet another letter from a Citizen of the U.S.A. however I would also remind each of you that every vote counts so it may be in the best interest to continue reading this letter.   Also when you respond to this correspondence please simply state something like:

“Receipt of Your letter Number __ is acknowledged!”  That way I will know which correspondence you are responding to.  This was a matter of polite and professional manner used in responses that My Superiors used when I served our United States of America in the United States Navy.  Therefore I take this opportunity in advance to “Thank You!” for your politeness in your future responses to me. 

I really do not have much more to say at this time, other than I sincerely hope that enough Democrats join Senators Warnock, Ossoff and Fetterman in restoring our United States of America to the level of Understanding, Love and Hope that our very own Forefathers envisioned when they established our Great Country.

In closing, with November starting tomorrow, I take this Opportunity to Wish Each of You and Your Respective Families a “Very Blessed Thanksgiving 2025!” 

I am confident that each of You know that our Rights are Given By God and that No Fellow Citizen at the National, State or Local Level should ever serve us as an Elected Servant to harm any of us – “We the People!!”

Thank You!!!

I remain,

 Number 45 to My Georgia Senators dated 2 October 2025 after the Government Shutdown!

The Junior Senator for Georgia

 

Greetings Honorable Senators for the Great State of Georgia,

 

This is letter 45 and it is addressed specifically to y0u.  The latest I have heard is that the Democrats in Our Senate have let down the Legal Citizens of the United States of America.  What a Shame.

 

Based on what I have heard and seen on Television is that the Democrats insisted that the Illegals among us receive Free Health Care!!!!  From my point of view this is nothing but stupid.  So the question remains:  Who are the Democrats catering to at the expense of the Legal Citizens of our great County?  Are they hoping that these Illegals receive/gain Driver’s Licenses so that they can use this document to register to Vote?  I understand that some Illegals have already received a Driver’s Licenses.  So in some cases step one to get a Voter’s Card is possibly already been accomplished.

 

The Population of Georgia is currently estimated to be 11,291,300 of which 51.09 percent are female.  

This information is provided so that you can appreciate who you each represent in our U. S. Senate.  I have no information at this time to indicate if the above is reflective of the Legal U. S. Citizens or if this information also includes the Illegals who reside in Georgia.

 

What I do know is that Your Responsibilities are to represent the Citizens of Georgia.  Based on  your current actions regarding your vote/non vote respectively to Shut Down our Government I get the impression that You are in fact possibly worshiping each other or even worse worshiping those among us that gain your attention to the neglect of the Citizens of Georgia.  Are you possibly worshiping the likes of Senator Schumer who you desire retains his seat in the U. S. Senate at our expense?   Is it also possible that you Worship individuals such as Stacey Abrams with the goal of gaining her assistance in your next U. S. Senate Campaign.

 

I would suggest that You each Worship the respective God of Your Faith/Religion versus placing your trust in mere Human Beings here on this Planet.

 

I do know that no matter your Faith/Religion that you have not defended the “Right to Life” heretofore by your actions/votes support which Abortion.  I find this difficult to comprehend.  As I previously stated 51.o9 of our Population here in Georgia is female.  I suspect that the majority of these women are against Abortion.  In any case they should be if they support their respective Faith/Religion.  As You know My stand on this concern is that Abortion is actually “Killing an Unborn Baby!”  I fail to comprehend how either of you cannot appreciate that fact.

 

Even if the State of Georgia had only one Legal Citizen or a Legal Homeless Veteran who is Homeless or even requiring Medical Care while you support Free Medical Care for Illegal Individuals who live among us is difficult for me to comprehend/understand/appreciate!

 

This letter is rather brief, but I suspect that deep in Your Respective Hearts you know that your voting against the Continuing Resolution is a self-centered approach to Government which you know is totally incorrect/improper.  It certainly is not what the Legal Citizens of our Great State of Georgia need. 

 

If I failed in previous letters to you to remind you that You Serve at the Pleasure of the Electorate then be aware that I am stating it now.  The most responsible definition of Leadership is to “Serve the People! In short that means each of you are the People’s Servant.  You have to ask yourself “Is that the case when I voted/failed to vote to essentially Shut Down the Government!”

 

You may have noted that this is addressed to My Two Georgia Senators, which is my desire.  You will also note that the Copy to addees of this letter number 45 are Peers of You and I that I consider are actually reflecting the desires and goals of the Legal Citizens of Georgia.  This is an easy task if the focus that I hope all of My Duly Elected Leaders take their positions with a Servant to the People seriously. 

 

As is always the case, I send this letter out of concern for what I consider to be in the best Interest of the State of Georgia and I also suspect and would remind you that maintaining our Government must always by Your only focus versus catering to those among us who reside in our State and our United States of America as Illegal Guest.

 

I am confident that You each can be responsible Senators representing the State of Georgia in your future votes in the days and weeks ahead until your respective terms in office expire.

 

As always I appreciate your individual responses to My Letters, however I remind you that Your respective Actions in the U. S. Senate are critical to the Security of each of us who are Legal Citizens of Georgia and even the United States of America.  You must accomplish no less. 

 

As I recently heard in Worship Services here in Georgia that I participate in:  It is My responsibility to “Lift Others Up!”  To help them to know or in some cases learn about what the expectations must be met to insure the success of each of us.  In this regard it is Your responsibility to insure that we all, each of us can accomplish this great and essential mission.  I have also been reminded that Our Goal in our respective lives is to have the scope of helping others.  To consider our actions as necessary for the common good of “We the People!  In short to “Accomplish/Act for something greater than ourselves.”  Not very difficult to do if our Heart is in the Proper Place. 

 

In this regard I often have to remind myself:  “Are My Actions/Accomplishments reflective of the upbringing that My Sainted Parents instilled in Me when I was in My Youth.  I would humbly suggest that each of You do the same.”  Additionally I would also encourage the “Copy To” addees to also ask themselves the same question. 

 

Thank You and Have a Blessed Day.

"As always, thoughtful, and accurate!  I applaud your tenacity and your dedication for what is right.  You are not afraid to stand up and tell it like it is and I respect that very much.  We need more of our leaders to stand up and do what is right, not what is politically motivated.  I stand alongside you my friend."

Greetings Honorable and Duly Elected Officials/Leaders,

 

Please note that this is letter number 44.  I write quite often because I as but one U. S. Citizen have a caring attitude for Our United States of America.  That will never change.  I was shocked last Wednesday when I turned on My Television to learn of the assassination of a Young Leader in our Country.  Yet even more shocking for me was to learn within the next few days that some of our Fellow Citizens, even duly elected National and State Leaders were publically stating that this murder of Charlie Kirk was necessary or even needed for the good of our Country.  I admit that I lack a formal education beyond the High School Level, however I recall that an assassination back in the Mid 1910s was used to spur World War I.  I am grateful that this most recent assassination has not caused a War or even Riots in our Streets.

 

I have also learned on News Programs that these killings must stop and that in most cases they are executed by Young Males.  I am confident that many who are far more educated that Myself will soon develop a program of studies and/or lessons for the target age group to be used in decreasing this behavior. 

 

Before everyone things how this can be accomplished I would like to share My own thoughts on this matter:

 

·        Recently we have all heard and some have even witnessed the comments of a former candidate seeking to be our President suggesting that caring Fellow Citizens support by sending funds to the various organizations that performed the riots in or near the Twin Cities in Minnesota a few years ago.

·        We had a candidate for Vice President who developed a program in his State to install Tampon Vending Machines in the Boys Rooms of the Schools.

·        If I was a young male I could certainly become confused as to what My Role as an adult would be.

·        The confusion as to which Sex I am.  Yet I actually witnessed our Current President discussing this situation in a Joint Session of Congress a few months ago when a good number of My Fellow Citizens and in some cases Your Peers actually refused to support the fact that there are only two genders.  Without any additional comments on this situation I will suggest that those who appear to be confused actually check the style of underwear they are wearing the next time they perform the normal functions of their own respective bodies when they empty their bladder!

·        Before we develop any and/all programs to resolve this issue I would suggest that many in Leadership positions actually consider the impact of their actions and/or statements!

 

As I compose this letter to you I would like to share this with each of you.  I saw this on a facebook post recently.

 

Two toddlers who were able to verbally communicate with each other, one a boy and the other a girl were discussing their bodies.  The boy stated that he knew who he was.  The Girl then asked the boy how he could do this.  His reply was quite simple and certainly reflects the “Common Sense” mantra of our current administration:

 

“I have on Blue Socks and You have Pink Socks on!”

 

I would suggest that this is a simple, yet easy and effective solution to the Gender Questions and/or Concerns that plague so may in our Society.

 

In summary, Please listen to your constituents.  I often view on Television the results of polls which indicate to me that the majority of us Citizens actually want Good Government that serves “We The People” versus a Government that is more concerned on meeting the needs of those among us who are Illegal Immigrants!!! 

 

While we all view the comments of Many Who are Liberals I would also suggest that each of you take the time to actually communicate your view points that we the Voter’s would appreciate.  I remain appalled that some of You actually think that your lack of comments/concerns for the Good of “We The People” will serve you well as you seek your next reelection.  I have come to appreciate  that no comment or a veiled comment without really stating a position is really not winning votes or even financial support for your respective/future campaigns.

 

Thank You and Warm regards,

 

 

Alan F. E. Thiese

Greetings Honorable and Duly Elected Officials/Leaders,

 

This is letter number 43.  I have been sending these letters for several years and I am often shocked by the neglect that is shown for the Citizens of Georgia by our Properly Elected Senators.  They appear to me to be condoning what I would call stupid actions by some of their peers in the U. S. Senate.  Additionally they appear to be reluctant to speak out against the abuse of our Nation’s Youth who are often the victims of crimes against them by the Illegals that have entered our United States of America in large numbers during the Presidency of our former president.  This is not only shameful, but a gross neglect of the responsibilities we entrust to “Our Duly Elected Officials!”

Just this morning I saw this Headline in the National Media – “Fox News!”

“NEW: The illegal immigrant truck driver accused of killing three people in a Florida highway collision, failed English and road sign tests, but still got a CDL from sanctuary states California and Washington.” 

According to the report this is a picture of this illegal immigrant truck driver:

What is also troublesome is “We The People” of this great Nation have City Mayors and Yes, even Governors of several states who fail to cooperate with the Laws of the United States of America in maintaining Good Law and Order for us all.  As I stated above I am shocked by the lack of “Care and Compassion for U. S. Citizens” by my “Properly Elected Senators!” 

I also see on Television the “Peaceful Demonstrations” for Gaza and the College Campus unrest that many of our Properly Elected Officials at all levels fail to speak out against, much less cooperate with the Federal Officials charged with the enforcement of our Laws.

In My letter number 42 I shared pictures of “Gold Star Memorial Markers” and “Blue Star Memorial Markers” which are placed in appropriate locations to remind us all that “Freedom is Not Free” and maintained for us by the Brave Women and Men who serve us all in the U. S. Military.  I share this again with each of You because I appreciate that our National Government is currently doing to Keep America Strong even though we all have fellow citizens that think that we are expending too much capital on  improving our U. S. Military.  I would suggest that these “fellow citizens” have no understanding of what our USA was able to accomplish during World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam and the many Wars since. 

It is My Hope that all of “We the People” quickly learn that “Peace through Strength” is the only way we can secure peace here on Earth!  I realize that many of you to which this letter is addressed also understand this concept.  Our task now is to consistently inform all “Media Outlets” that this concept is the only appropriate means of even attempting to achieve peace! 

As but one Citizen of the United States of America I pledge to continue to be Concerned about our USA! 

That stated I am grateful that we have a Properly Elected President of our USA who is actually fulfilling the promises he made during His Campaign to become our President.  Thank You! Mister President.

To My peers in our Country who currently fail to understand or even appreciate what is happening since January 20^th, 2025 – Study Our United States History and then realize How Blessed We All Are to Live in the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave!  This prior statement will be share by Me at every opportunity I have.

Thank You and know that I send this letter with Great Concern and Graditude,

A New Home

for the

Thiese Family

1951 - 1952

near 

Guttenberg, Iowa 

My Parents, Gertrude and Ferdinand (Ferdy) THIESE with a growing family and a House that was in bad shape decided to build a New Home.  The Lumber was from a Timber they owned a few miles away.  The Saw Mill scenes in this Post were taken in 1951, when Dad's High School Classmate Williard Tuecke who owned a Saw Mill and operated it produced the lumber to build the new Home in 1952.  I suspect that the pictures were taken by My Mom who had a Kodak Box Camera.  While the House was being constructed Our Family of Seven slept in the Wood Shed which was just East of the New Home by about 60 feet.  

This Saw Mill was set up just South of the Farm Buildings alongside of a Creek.  My Brother David and I often used slabs to dam up the creek and build a pond.  Then we would breach the Dam and watch the water run down the creek.  In addition to that we often carried the slabs away from the saw mill.  We were 11 and 9 years old.

Sister Angela, who was 2 years old also did her part in the building of the New Home. 

Our Parents did hire two Carpenters who supervised the building but the labor was done by Family Members and Neighbors.  I recall hauling the three-in-one shingles up a ladder so the roofers could nail them down.  Not a whole bundle, but a few shingles at a time.  During the Winter of 1952 - 1953 We Children were taught how to mud in the joints of the sheet rock so the Boys did their own bedroom and the Girls did there own bedroom.  

This New Home was a Family and Neighbors Project with was the way things were done in this era.  

The Youngest Sibling, John Paul was not around until December 1952 which was his Birth Month and Year.  He currently owns the Family Farm and lives in this House.  He like the rest of his Four Siblings are now retired and enjoying Life in our Golden Years. Our Brother David died in 2006. He rents the approximately 69 acres of the 80 acre farm to Our Nephews who grow Corn and/or Beans.

 Ready for the 

Fourth of July 

Independence Day

My Home

Have A Very Blessed

Day!!!!
