Dear Mr. President,
My name is Dasani Gates and there are a few things I would like for you to do as president. One thing I would like for you to do is improve the salary of working people. If you would improve the salary of working people, my mom wouldn't have to work two jobs to support me and my family. The next thing I would like for you to do as president is to lower prices for gas, food, and taxes. If you would lower the prices for these things my mom would have more money to buy me more clothes to wear and more toys to play with. I would also like you to improve the health care benefits for everyone in America. If you improve the health care benefits, everyone would have better dental and medical care for their families. The last thing I would like you to do as president is to improve the learning environment for all students in America. If you improve the learning environment, we would have better schools to learn in, new books to learn with and better after-school activities so everyone will be well-rounded students. I believe if you do these things you will be the best president in the United States of America.
Sincerely,
Dasani Gates

Dear Mr. President,
I want you to keep companies in America so my dad will stop looking to see if it's made in China. It is important to keep jobs because one of my friend's dad does not have a job.
Get better schools for your kids. They need a good education like you. Please get a better facility and supplies for your kids. We only have two computers in our classroom. We could learn more with more computers. Send us some money please.

Dear President Obama,
America is ready for change. I am very glad you are going to be our next president because there have been too many Republicans in the presidency. I think there should be less conflict between the Republicans and the Democrats. Please lower taxes and take the troops out of Iraq; we are ready for them to come home. I hope that you will lower gas prices and that you will help the economy get back in shape as only you can.
Sincerely,
Benjamin Allen

These must be some pretty smart kids. Hell, I've got a couple kids in their mid twenties that can't put together a sentence as well as these children.
