Mari’s letter to President Obama:

Mr. President,

Hello my name is Mari Copeny and I’m 8 years old, I live in Flint, Michigan and I’m more commonly known around town as “Little Miss Flint”. I am one of the children that is effected by this water, and I’ve been doing my best to march in protest and to speak out for all the kids that live here in Flint. This Thursday I will be riding a bus to Washington, D.C. to watch the congressional hearings of our Governor Rick Snyder. I know this is probably an odd request but I would love for a chance to meet you or your wife. My mom said chances are you will be too busy with more important things, but there is a lot of people coming on these buses and even just a meeting from you or your wife would really lift people’s spirits. Thank you for all that do for our country. I look forward to being able to come to Washington and to be able to see Gov. Snyder in person and to be able to be in the city where you live.

Thank You
Mari Copeny

**************

Republican Gov. Rick Snyder said Wednesday it’s unlikely he would join the outgoing Democratic president in Flint.

“I’ve got a pretty full schedule next week. That’s not currently a day I’m scheduled to be in Flint,” Snyder said in a telephone interview with The Detroit News from Zurich, Switzerland, one of his stops in a week-long European trade mission.
