Dear Mr. President:

For time out of mind, the Negro has been only a pawn in the big game, but things have changed. Early on, I saw tell tale signs you would win. And you did. Your speaking abilities and the words you poured out has most Americans enthralled, they were eloquent. You invoked the King's dream, the dream he told of near five decades ago. America hopes you can do great, we expect greatness, the world will expect greatness from you. We hope you can, and will, bring America back up to the pinnacle of nations once again.

Illegal immigration is something I feel strongly for. I believe that if one wishes to pardon illegal aliens to remain and dwell in America, that very act encourages that very illegal activity. That which I have just stated, is nothing but pure logic and reason. Illegal immigrants should not be allowed to remain in this nation. Why should they be allowed to stay? Immigrants wishing to come and to live in America, they should obtain a green card, learn English, get a job, pat taxes, and do the other things, not to bring them hardship but to bring them prosperity. Illegal aliens need not be in America.

Abortion, the murder of unborn children, should and must be banned outright. First off, any mother not impregnated by rape and or is over the age of eighteen and underwent an abortion should be ashamed of murdering their child. Any adult willingly had unprotected sex and became pregnant has no reason whatsoever to get an abortion. Mr. President, you should make this clear to the People. Then, and only then can you gain most if not ALL of America's allegiance. Teens and victims of rape also should not be allowed to get an abortion. Yes, they are either not capable or did not willingly consent to have intercourse, but, there are reasons they should not be allowed to kill their child. To kick it off, if teens have sex willingly and conceive a child, it is their fault. Of course, there are exceptions, for one, in many regions of the United States, sex education is minimal or absent. Victims of rape, which include children, teens, adults, and the elderly as well, are perhaps the most deserving to kill their child. But they should not be able to. Adoption is the answer, or also, to raise the child, and tell the child the truth at the rightful time; that is tough of course, but life is tough, love is tough, hearts should tender and rough all at once-tender as to be compassionate and caring, rough as to be righteous and strong. If murder of the born is wrong, so should the murder of the unborn.

The current economic stance is abysmal, it is atrocious, and is appalling to say the least. Obviously not the only reason, but one of the main reasons of this decline, is the deregulation of Wall Street. Regulations keep businesses in check and stops them from wiping out competition or encroaching too far on the customers. Say, for instance, the meat-packing industry was deregulated, companies could dispose and ignore certain safety precautions. That would devastate the country, for countless thousands could be at risk, and in the end, people would not buy meat, stocks would fall, people would lose jobs, slaughter houses would be useless for no meat is being sold. Parallel to that, is the situation on Wall Street. When Congress deregulated the stock market, investors were free to do as they wish (mostly), then when the People were chained and cheated by investors, they became discouraged. Discouraged to trade, buy or sell stocks, purchase merchandise, or buy new cars or homes for fear of being cheated out of their money.

You came to the help of the People, you heard our chimes of freedom. Dylan said back '63, "The times they are a-changin,'" and he's right. We didn't take the road not taken, we took the road rarely taken. But still, the meaning holds true, all humans are created equal. With God on our side, we shall be the ones to come out on top. With you taking the helm, America has faith, we need to have faith in you, you can take us to be with the highest of high. This generation, the youth, is lost in space. We soon will take hold of this planet, and we hope that the previous generation hasn't screwed up this world too much. But with God on our side, we shall overcome.
