Dear Mr. President...

A few years ago I got the notion to write one of my favorite people in the whole world...President Jimmy Carter. Think what you will about his accent, humble roots, and failed fiscal policy- on top of his reign as head of state that is mocked with little reverance. Still- despite all the negative- he is truly a remarkable man. While not taunting all his accolades that I adore, I will mention how he was raised by godly parents in a truly poor fashion. He never had needs that weren't for the good of his hungry belly or to benefit the whole family.

Recently, he travelled to Korea to once again come to the aid of a man who had no other recourse but to rely on mercy and humbleness on his behalf.
I think I shall write him again and beg him to go to Washington,D.C. on behalf of our soldiers. Since last saturday, August 21,2010, 18 American soldiers were killed in gruesome and heinous ways by cowards that retreat to caves and use guns we once supplied to them. I will beg him to ask my current President to bring them home so that they can see their children grow up and enjoy birthdays and Fathers day. I will ask him to use all his persuasive powers to help my President see the pain and loss that families are feeling as the losses are reported in a brief 10 second mentioning on the news while reports of the books my President purchased on Marthas Vineyard are critiqued at length.
   "Dear President Carter, Please pray for us- we are broken hearted. Please be our words-the President is not listening. Please rescue our soldiers- they are dying. Sincerely, an American citizen."
