Dear Mr. President…
I hope that some day women will have the same rights as men. Like women football and baseball leagues. Maybe even a women president. If that happens, do you think one of your daughters could become president like you?

I think you should help the people that were in the tsunami so they can have food and shelter. Maybe you can have a coin drive. Morrice Elementary, my school, had a coin drive. We collected eight hundred dollars!
- Hannah from Morrice Elementary, MI

I wish there was no violence in this country. When I look at the news, and it's about people killing other people, it makes me sad. People should try to be nicer to each other.

Being a teacher is hard work. She gets really happy when we do our class and homework. Sometimes she feels real tired. She even skips lunch to correct and revise our homework. I think she needs an aid who can help her with all this work. Can you pass a law that allows teachers to teach and someone else to do the paper work?

Love is a universal language. We can sing, pray and talk to these people (people affected by the tsunami) and show them that we care.

I wish you could support stem cell research so people that get paralyzed and have other kinds of physical injury can get healed faster.
- Cody from Broadmoor Elementary School, LA

Mr. Bush I also think you should get rid of silly laws. You should replace or just get rid of them. An example of a silly law is: in Kentucky it is illegal to carry ice cream in your back pocket, isn't that silly?
- Alicia Persaud from Fairview Elementary, DE

My dreams for America are for us to win the war in Iraq and for the US army to be safe. I want my dad to have a safe trip back and to be able to come back soon. I feel sad about war because people are being killed, but I am happy because they are fighting for freedom.

I want people to treat others the way they would treat themselves. You should always remember you can have more than one best friend. Everyone should be your friend even if they're unkind. Always forgive them because you don't know what is going on in their lives. This letter is for anyone who is willing to make people understand that this world is here for everyone and anyone to enjoy.

My dream is to start the Women's National Football League. I would like to show people that girls are equal to boys. Girls can do anything boys can.

I'm thinking about my community. I live in a rural area, lots of farmland is being turned into subdivisions and industries. This is a problem because this act destroys farms that grow crops and food for people. You understand how important farms are because you own a ranch in Texas and raise beef cattle. Hopefully you realize how little farms help support the US by raising food for the American people.

We have a word of the week that teaches us good character traits. These character traits help us to be good citizens. You could use the character traits to help America be a better place. Kindness helps America, kindness helps the people in America to be a better citizen because if Americans are kind then they wouldn't be mean or hateful.
