Subject: Fw: suggested phrases or lines to use in your Inaugural Speech

To: President Joe Biden, care of the Democratic National Committee in Washington, D.C.
Dear President Biden,
I need to offer you a belated correction on a surprising error I discovered on Facebook this evening for the first time as I rode a Cap Metro public-transit bus home from my workplace.
I discovered the error while reviewing my brainstorming letter to you of January 19, 2021, in which I had attempted to offer possible lines you might want to make use of in your Inaugural Address on January 20.
The error was in the following oral statement that I suggested you consider including in your Inaugural Address:
---"I will champion the cause of fighting and deterring continuous personal-injury-crimes inside the United States. I will do that because continuous personal injury crimes involving physical abuse of an American citizen are an outrage to me. Continuous crimes are like a professional boxing match in which only one of the boxers in the ring was permitted by the referee to hold a glove, and the other boxer is smashing him and bloodying him in the face throughout the entire match."
I would like to withdraw that statement, and instead substitute it with the following:
--"I will champion the cause of fighting and deterring continuous personal-injury-crimes inside the United States. I will do that because continuous personal injury crimes involving physical abuse of an American citizen are an outrage to me. Continuous crimes are like a professional boxing match in which only one of the two boxers in the ring is permitted by the referee to wear gloves. That boxer is smashing and bloodying the gloveless boxer in the face throughout their entire match."
President Biden, congratulations again on your truly excellent and wonderfully reassuring first week as U.S. President. Your meticulously statesmanlike performance in your first week has helped millions of Americans---for those who enjoy safe housing conditions---to sleep better at nighttime. Americans with safe housing conditions inside their rental-apartment-unit or home can feel confident now that our nation's ship is finally being steered by the right captain---yourself.
I hope to hear from you soon in response to the polite online forensic DNA-swabs comprehensive rape-evidence-medical exam request for myself---I am a permanently-alcohol-free, lifelong-tobacco-free, law-abiding, gainfully-employed, single adult white English-Scottish-German-American gentleman and self-identified continuous crimes victim in Texas---that I made of you two days ago at your official White House website on your very first day as our nation's new Chief of State.
Also, Mr. President, please send me a currently-valid official e-mail address for yourself. That will enable me to continue to share brainstorming ideas to you on a frequent and year-round basis in your globally-influential role as our truly great and comprehensively-Constitutional-rights-minded, fair-to-individuals U.S. President.
This reminds me that I hope your Biden-Harris Administration will be willing to consider recommending that Congress approve a new amendment to the U.S. Constitution that is specifically aimed at helping to protect the natural global environment, including throughout the entire United States and through conduct in foreign nations by multinational corporations headquartered in the U.S.A.
At present, the apparent absence of specific language of that type in our U.S. Constitution comprises a glaring and outrageous oversight.
Sincerely and Best Wishes from an enthusiastic supporter of yours in Texas,
former full-time newspaper reporter and "Progressive Prohibitionist Religion" founder as well as only-currently-approved-member John Kevin McMillan.

Subject: suggested phrases or lines to use in your Inaugural Speech
January 19, 2021
Dear President-Elect Joe Biden,
In your great and inspirational Inaugural Address this Wednesday, January 20, I hope you will consider adding or making use of or adapting any of the following proposed lines for your speech.
I am offering these very tentative possibilities because it seems to me that crisis-ravaged Americans in the year 2021 will be very grateful for an wise saying from you that in coming months and years can help to inspire them and motivate them as human beings and as American citizens.
Some possibilities for proposed lines you might want to consider using in your Inaugural Address tomorrow:
---"My devotion to diversity is always accompanied by reverence for the law. Human diversity should and must be civil and law-abiding in nature."
---"I will champion the cause of fighting and deterring continuous personal-injury-crimes inside the United States. I will do that because continuous personal injury crimes involving physical abuse of an American citizen are an outrage to me. Continuous crimes are like a professional boxing match in which only one of the boxers in the ring was permitted by the referee to hold a glove, and the other boxer is smashing him and bloodying him in the face throughout the entire match."
--"Preventive medicine is not just about preventing the onset of disease in our own lives. It is also about protecting others from being subjected to diseases we ourselves might potentially inflict on them through negligence---regardless of whether that might be COVID-19, the often-fatal HIV-virus, a cold, or a bacterial infection. If you sneeze, by all means wash and dry your hands immediately. This is the least we can do to help protect the health of all the people around us in your everyday lives."
---"Each of us holds an official or unofficial role as a medical nurse or medical doctor. We can and must learn how to protect the safety and medical health of others. We can and must learn how to call 911 immediately and ask for EMS if we sense that a complete stranger we are witnessing outdoors in our city is having a major medical crisis."
---"It is NOT enough to declare to the world at you are a good citizen because you lack criminal intent toward others. We can and must go far beyond that. Being a good citizen must include being willing to call 911 to help out a person being victimized by a crime you just witnessed in your town. Being a good citizen also means protecting our global environment from annihilation."
---"America is not a nation in decline. America is a nation in transition. We are in the process of redefining what our greatness as a world leader should consist of. I am very confident that we can emerge from this transition period greater than ever."
---"Each of us should strive to be a good citizen of the world as well as a good citizen of the United States. There is nothing treasonous or traitorous about decency and kindness and generosity toward our honorable relatives who live in foreign nations. Nor is there anything treasonous or traitorous about showing kindness toward the honorable persons NOT related to us who live in foreign nations."
---"I am very grateful for my Irish heritage. It has taught me how to weather a crisis with courage and determination. Let us not forget that the citizens of Ireland sustained one of the most severe tragedies in world history when they endured the Great Potato Famine in a prior century. Today, with help from what I assume has been the policy of the Irish Government to encourage Irish farmers to raise a variety of healthful crops, the risk of the Irish people dying from famine has virtually vanished."
President-Elect Joe Biden, I will be very pleased if any of these proposed phrases or lines for your Inaugural Address prove to be useful to you after you are sworn in tomorrow as our official new Chief of State for the USA.
With Deep Gratitude to you for Your Great Political Leadership in the USA,
John Kevin McMillan of Austin, Texas.
