Our friend Saluda Broad is an honorary member of the OOG (Outspoken Old Geezers) Club, a males-only organization and proud of it. We do bestow honorary membership on women we admire, respect and trust.

She recently corresponded with the President of the United States, as you will see in her note below. Will he correspond with her or prove to be a closet sexist after all?

Dear Mr. President.

I am writing to ask for your help.

I am an American citizen trying to scrape by on my Social Security but since January, prices have been going up fast.

The cost of food, gasoline and electricity is soaring and I can’t keep up.

I am afraid I will have to get rid of my sweet little cat who is a beloved companion because I cannot really afford the cost of cat food anymore.

I AM A GOOD citizen who has worked hard and paid taxes all my life. Like you, I believe in science. That is why, after dear President Trump (bless his heart) expedited the development of a covid vaccine, I was among the first to get my shots.

I have many friends who suffer from dementia and sometimes they do have a spark of understanding.

I am hoping this letter finds you at a time when you also have that spark. You have many progressive people working for you, so will you please ask them to help me?

I see that a million people who are not citizens of this country have freely come over our southern border. I see also that you are giving them free housing, free food, free medical care and free transportation.

I know that you are putting them up in hotels now and that seems really fine to me. The cost of upkeep on my little house is getting too much for me.

I would appreciate a nice hotel room with maid service so I don’t have to clean anymore. Cleaning is really hard at my age.

I hope that you can throw in some room service, too, because cooking is getting hard for me at my age. I burn food a lot.

MR. PRESIDENT, I am not asking for much after being a good citizen. I just want what you are giving to all these people who are coming from Guatamala, Nicaraugua, Somalia and Yemen. I promise I will continue to be a good American until the Lord sees fit to take me home. I await your response.

Mr. President, how can I become an illegal alien with all these benefits, too?

Sincerely yours, Saluda Broad
