Dear President Obama,

I'm writing this on behalf of my parents, A** and C** L**. It has come to our attention they neither of them have received their $250 stimulus check this year. I don't have the address and name of the stimulus czar, so I hope you can pass this request along to the right people.

Perhaps it's because you -- the government that is -- don’t have a current address. They haven't communicated with you lately because, of course, they have passed on to their reward and are no longer living. But I understand that should not slow down the stimulus funds they are entitled to -- even the Wall street Journal is reporting the details.

You're a man who espouses fairness. How about some fairness for these two who fit the criteria just as the 72,000 other Americans do. And they're not even in prison.

I am sure that this is just a oversight, but while we are on the subject, can you ask whoever sends out absentee ballots to forward a current ballot. They lived in DeKalb County most of their lives, so that will do.

I'm sure it must be legal to the deceased to vote. Even the Atlanta Journal-Constitution (part of your media cheer-leading team) noted in their fight against requiring proof of identity at the polling place called it: "the myth of voter fraud." This is the same newspaper that won a Pulitzer for uncovering counties in south Georgia that were found to be voting people from the graveyard, even in alphabetical order.

So I am aware that things have changed and that words and promises don’t mean the same as they did just a decade ago. So, please forward the checks and in light of my previous letters, the renovation and remodeling of my house is still a "shovel-ready" project and ready for funding.

Thank you for your time.
