LettertoObamaKE

Dear Mr. President,

I would like to congratulate you on your victory as the forty-fourth president of the United States. You not only won the seat to the Presidency, but have also made history as being the first African American president. As a country, we have come a long way from when our country started to now. I am writing to you about the topic of energy. Our oil prices are skyrocketing, temperatures are slowly giving into global warming, the ice cap melting, and more violent storms are occurring more often. The money we are giving to buy foreign oil often goes to terrorists that just want to kill us. When I become an adult, I do not want my inland town to become a costal town, and I do not want to be worried if I will live to see the next day. I am also worried about the oil crisis. Eventually, oil will run out which will make most cars that are running now not able to run. Also, if we continue to burn fossil fuels, the world will get warmer and sea levels will rise. We can fix this if we act fast. I encourage you to lead our country off of foreign oil. If this means to drill offshore, I believe it would keep our money circulate within the country. However, during that time period, we need to work on finding alternative energy sources to eventually minimize our demand for oil. By saying that, I believe our country has the right resources to find better ways in improving our energy problems. By putting politics and special interest groups aside, I am sure you can lead our country in the right direction.

I would like to thank you for taking time to read this letter and I am optimistic that you will lead this country in the right direction. I wish you best of luck during your presidency and hope your transition to presidency goes smoothly.

Sincerely,

Kevin Ellis
