Leadership Mr. Speaker

April 20, 2016

The Honorable Paul Ryan
Speaker of the House of Representatives
H-232 The Capitol
Washington, DC  20515

Dear Mr. Speaker:

Did anyone ever teach you good decisions are made well before the fact?  Did you ever notice great leaders didn’t defer, engage in prolonged deliberation or procrastinate over decisions falling to their authority?  Great leaders know where they are going and they have already established inalienable guiding principles for their decision-making process.  This is what gives great leaders the courage to make decisions of enormous consequence and to patiently endure the ignorance of those who seek only to serve themselves.

It is obvious to me you have not established such guiding principles for the duties, obligations and responsibilities set before you.  It appears to me you readily succumb to the self-serving agendas of fear mongers who desperately want you to believe our country is in immediate peril.  Humans are always in peril and have been since Adam and Eve were banished from the garden.  Our problems are no different than the problems of generations before us.  However, Americans have been blessed with many extraordinary leaders who prevailed against overwhelming odds.  Are you going to be one of those leaders or just another politician who will fade into obscurity?

Respectfully,

Bill Monroe
