W.A 4 -- Draft 2

Dear President Obama,

Congratulations! I supported you through your campaign, and to witness you taking oath was an outstanding occasion. I believe that as the people's true candidate, it would be proper for the people to discuss with you the most important things you should focus on during the first year of your Presidency : the economy, peace between America and Middle-Eastern countries, and universal healthcare.

The economy in its current state cannot support America and her people. We must create new jobs, and introduce the flow of regular paychecks to Americans once more. Like Franklin Delano Roosevelt did during the Great Depression, programs should be created for the government to pay people for goods and services. Everyone is very concerned, and while their concerns are valid, we must also focus on more pressing issues, such as ending the war in Iraq.

Peace is often underrated, because it is not appreciated when it exists. One surefire way to cut back on government spending is to end the war in Iraq. Billions of dollars go monthly towards ammunition, tanks, and many other supplies our troops need to do their jobs safely, and I fully support that. However, if they were not engaged in war, they would not need the billions of dollars for supplies, and we could instead invest that money in American economics or universal healthcare. America once experienced the policy of isolationism, and perhaps that would be the best course of action to take after the War on Terror is resolved.

Thousands of Americans die every year because they cannot afford to pay for health insurance. I'd like to see you establish a system of universal health care, so that everyone may receive adequate and free medical treatment. I understand that this may cause hospitals, free clinics, and private practice doctors to become even more understaffed and overworked, but at the price of a healthy population, I'm sure that as President you can successfully design a plan to spread out the workload between clinics.

Thank you very much, Mr. President, for taking your time to read my concerns. I hope you seriously consider the points I've raised, and act as you see best fit. Again, congratulations on your recent election. I'm looking forward to see what you can accomplish in the next four years.

Sincerely,

Amanda Roland
