Letter+to+Obama

President-elect Barak O'Bama The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, DC 20500

Dear Mr. President, First off, I would like to congratulate you on becoming the President of the United States of America. I know that you are going to do great things when you are in office. I am not old enough to vote, but if I was I would have voted for you; I like the turnout though! I am Olivia, and I am from Connecticut. My 8th grade class and I are writing to you to tell you what we think the most important issue is. I feel that the most important issue, as of right now, is today’s economy and taxes. I feel that you are the change we need, and that you will change this problem during your 4 years in office. This issue is so big because many Americans are losing their jobs and their homes as well. The reason I feel that this issue is the most important is because my father has just lost his job, due to the economy. He is an employee at AT&T and works in the dispatch and repair center. His job is being sent across the country and across sea. He has been employed at AT&T for 30 years. My father has four children to support, including me, and losing his job doesn’t help. My family and I have already cut down on only buying the real necessities. That’s not the kind of change I want; I want my dad to have a job. I don’t want to lose my house, so please help. Taxes have also been outrageous, although taxes have gone down excellently, the groceries have gone up. There are six people in my family, so we buy a lot of groceries. My mom buys 3 gallons of milk and in one week they are all gone. Having high taxes on groceries don’t help either because people need food to survive. I hope all of this will change soon. I’m glad you are President, because I know you are going to change this huge problem for my family and other American families too. I hope you enjoy your time serving us as President. Good luck and enjoy your time in office. I hope you accomplish all that is needed. Sincerely, Olivia
