I knew I had this somewhere. Was searching for some old email and found this:

November 12,2004

President George W. Bush
White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
Washington, D.C.

Dear President Bush:

Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding
God's law. I have learned a great deal from you and
understand why you would propose and support a
constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage. As you
said, "In the eyes of God, marriage is between a man a
woman." I try to share that knowledge with as many people
as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual
lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that
Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination.
End of debate.

I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some
other elements
of God's laws and how to follow them:

1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both
male and female, provided they are purchased from
neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this
applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify?
Why can't I own Canadians?

2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as
sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do
you think would be a fair price for her?

3. I know from Leviticus 11:6-8 that touching the skin of
a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play
football if I wear gloves?

4. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know
it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord--Leviticus 1:9.
The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not
pleasing to them. Should I smite them?

5. I have a neighbor who insists on working on the
Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states that he should be put
to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself, or
should I ask the police to do it?

6. A friend of mine feels that even though eating
shellfish is an abomination (Leviticus 11:10), it is a
lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can
you settle this? Are there degrees of abomination?

7. Leviticus 21:20 states that I may not approach the
altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to
admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to
be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here?

8. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed,
including the hair around their temples, even though this
is expressly forbidden by Leviticus 19:27. How should
they die?

9. My uncle has a farm. He violates Leviticus 19:19 by
planting two different crops in the same field, as does
his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds
of thread (cotton-polyester blend). He also tends to curse
and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to
all the trouble of getting the whole town together to
stone them (Leviticus 24:10-16). Couldn't we just burn
them to death at a private family affair, as we do with
people who sleep with their in-laws (Leviticus 20:14)?

I know you have studied these things extensively and thus
enjoy considerable expertise in such matters, so I am
confident you can help.

Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is
eternal and unchanging.
