Dear Barack Obama: I would like you to help bring all the Iraq soldiers home and try your best to end the war. So many people haven’t come back and I don’t want any more lives to be spared. Also please help with all the homeless children and adults in America. There is an alarming rate of homeless kids and I think they should have more shelters to sleep in and food and blankets too. Thank you for reading this and I hope you are our best president yet! 6B-AP
I have a couple things to ask you. I want to know how this will affect all the hunters. Because you said that you would raise gun ammunition taxes by 500%. I also want to know what you will do with the war in Iraq. Will you stop it or will you keep going? But we all want to know if it will cost us a lot of lives? I hope you can share this with the nation. What will the first thing you will do when you get to office? Also what will happen with Wall Street? Also what will happen to the middle class? And will you raise or lower health care taxes? 6B-NC
I would tell Mr. Obama that we need oil to keep gas prices low. If we don’t, gas will soon cost $4. We also need to help the environment. Right now, we are wasting good farm land with all kinds of toxins. We need that farmland to farm. Also, we need to cure diseases that are spreading around America and the surrounding areas (Canada and Mexico). We also need to end the war in Iraq. It has been going on longer than everyone intended. 6B-KL
Dear Mr. Obama I would like to talk to you about America. What is your plan to end the war in Iraq because I have 2 cousins over there and they sent me a letter saying it’s like a land fill over there and it is filthy that if you look at a dump that’s what Iraq looks like. What is your plan to end the war? What is your plan to save America? There are a lot of people in the US that have voted for you and they put you under their hands. If I voted I was going for McCain but I wanted to go for you because McCain would die in office. 6B-BS
Dear Mr. Obama: I would tell him to make sure our troops in Iraq makes it back to America safely. My mom does not have a job right now because her old job let her go, please help her so she can get a job?
Also, I don’t have health insurance now because of that so if I get hurt nothing will cover me. What are you going to do to make our country change while you are president? 6b-BM
Dear Mr. Obama: I want to know how you are going to deal with the financial crisis. Will you end our dependence on foreign oil? Or will you lower the prices on gas? Will you finance the Stem Cell research? Will you end the war, or will you keep it going? How will you end the war? Can you make more jobs for the people who don’t have it? Can you make it so that everyone can has life insurance? Can you help us be able to end the drilling in Alaska? It destroys the beauty of Alaska. Do you approve of stopping global warming? 6B-AB
Barack Obama, why are you going to take the big guns away? In Minnesota we don’t even have them. What else are you going to do? Are you going to tell America all of your plans to stop the war? Are you going to tax all of us on our health insurance like you said you were going to? Are you going to be a good president to all of us. 6B JD
Dear Mr. Obama: Why are you taking automatic guns from people? People who use them are not smart so don’t take them from the smart ones. Do not change the Star Spangle Banner it is what the troops made and it should stay. Did you like meeting with President Bush. 6B BN
Dear Barack Obama, I am sure you are aware of all of the problems in America, but a few I would like to bring to your attention. First health insurance, there are many people in the United States without health insurance, what are your plans for that, what are you going to do? Now what about Iraq I want to see the war end, and see troops come home safe. Please do something about that! 6B-BK
Mr. Obama: What do you think would be some good bills to pass? Would one of your bills be to let kids who are under 18 vote? If it is why would you do it? Is it because you think that kids don’t have any say in who we want to win? Do you have a plan for the people in Iran, if so what is it? If you do have one will you tell your voters about it or not, either way I want to know if you will take our troops home or will you keep them there. I have heard that you will take away hunting is that true or not, I think that a lot of people want to know.6B- MJ
Mr. Obama: how are you going to stop the war and save the troops? I suggest that you come up with a plan to overcome Iraq without damaging the work they have done already? What else are you going to do for the U.S.A to make it to become a better place to live? How do you feel of becoming president? When you come in office in January what will be your first thing to do? Do you think the world will become a better place with you as president? Will you switch any laws that you will think help the environment? Will you switch that you can be under 18 to vote? Will there be anything different rules for hunter like me? 6B-ZN
Dear Mr. Obama: I am a current student in Canby Elementary School in the sixth grade and I have some concerns to tell you and a couple questions. When are the troops of America going to be home? When are families going to see their loved ones? Are gas prices going to stay like this or are they going to rise up again? Today was Veteran’s Day, so now I was wondering if veterans are getting good health care or not? And then are you taking away all the guns or just semi autos? And are there any way people can stay off the street and get a job? Last question what are your plans for the future? 6B MIJ
I would ask Mr. Obama what he is going to change. I would ask him why he supports abortion. I would ask him why he wants to take hunting away. And I would ask him what he is going to do about Wall Street. JC-6B
Mister Obama, I want to discuss with you your standing point on the war in Iraq. What is going on in the stock market? You should fix the economy, before we’re all living in cardboard boxes because of all the foreclosures. You should try to fix unemployment.6B-SA
Dear Mr. Obama: I am a student at Canby Elementary School. I have some problems about the economy and I was wondering if you could help me out. Here is one of my concerns, I was hunting with my family for the first time and it was the best time of my life. I hear that you are considering taking our hunting rights away. I don’t want those good memories to go away. Others are that I would like the troops come back home to their families. That is what I would like to happen. Thank you 6B-KJ
Dear Barack Obama : I was wondering if you could change what people who do bad like robbing banks, stores, houses, and other important places. Please keep the people in Iraq safe and don’t have so many wars going on. Another thing please do not take away guns. If you are going to take away guns take the most dangerous ones there are. One more thing Mr. Barack Obama change this country and change it so none of us can get hurt, keep us all safe, help people who are sick and who those who don’t have homes. 6B/DW
Barack Obama, I have some concerns about the country. We have some health troubles in Minnesota. What are you going to do about the troops in Iraq? I mean take some home, put some back in. You have to do something about that. One more thing, some people say that you are taking away hunting. So don’t take away hunting. 6G JM
Dear Mr. Obama, now that you are the new President of the US, what are you going to do about the gas production? Also what are you planning to do about teacher salaries because my mom is a teacher and I am concerned. One more thing, what are going to do with hunting because I hear some people talking about you taking away all of our guns and not letting us hunt at all.

Barack Obama: How are you going to affect the gas prices? Are you going to raise them again or keep them low? The hunting is going to be an issue if you change the regulations. I think you should try to bring the people in Iraq home. I think you should have picked Hillary Clinton for your running mate. I have one last question for you, are you going to raise or lower health insurance costs? 6G JG
Dear Barack Obama, my concerns for our country include war and taxes on gas. Our country is in war and I was wondering about your plan, how do you think you can end this war? What’s your plan like send in all our troops and just smoke them, or take your time and end it slow? Now about taxes, I live 75 miles from my grandparents’ homes; so are you going to try hard to keep gas prices down or not care if they go up a little? P.S. X-mas is coming up and if my mom and dad have to pay 4 dollars a gallon my presents won’t be that big. 6GMCJ
I would ask Mr. Obama, what would you do with our troops in Iraq and why? Would you keep them drilling for oil in Alaska? Will you keep our gas prices down or would you make them go up? Would you make our healthcare prices go up? Are you trying to take hunting away? 6G AE
Mr. Obama I have some concerns are you going to lower gas prices? Why are you going to take away the guns so we can’t hunt? Is the regulation for hunting going to go up or down? What do you plan on doing with the health entrance? How much do you think the taxes will be? 6G-CF
Dear Obama: Are you going to lower gas prices for everybody? And are you going to send troops to places all over the world like the air force, army, navy, and marine? How are you going to end the war? 6g Gr
One of my main concerns… are you sure you want to take away guns, and if yes, why? Another concern is what will happen to the economy when you take office? Will we regret you being president? One of my other concerns is the war and what will you do to stop Iraq from invading us? My next question is, are you going to help with Medicare or at least lower it? My last question is, are you going to keep gas prices low or are you going to raise them? Thank you for reading my letter and I hope you can write back and give me positive answers. 6G-GB
Mr. Obama: I don’t like the price on gas prices. It is too high. Can you lower it? Because if it was too high and nobody could pay for it, then how will we get to do our jobs? So please lower gas prices. Cars are important in our world, if we didn’t have them how could we get to the things we need to do.

Dear Obama, I am concerned about the troops in Iraq. Are u going to bring them back? Are u going to drill in Alaska for oil? Are you trying to take away guns from people? Are you going to keep the gas prices low or raise them up? Are you giving people free health insurance for the people who don’t have health insurance? Are u going to drill somewhere where there is more oil? 6G QB
I have one concern that is: what would we do if there is a fire that sweeps across the state and the fire fighters couldn’t put it out? What are you going to do to end the war? When you end the war where are all the troops going to be positioned? Will they be ready to fight for America again, or will they be retired or what? 6G BS
Dear Obama: I want to know if you are going to try to stop hunting. Why do you want to stop it? How are you going to do it? Or do you just want to take away certain types of guns? And how are you going to stop war? And are you going to lower money on gas prices? What about taxes? Also, what about health insurance are you going to lower that? How do you plan to fix all these problems? 6G CC
Dear Mr. Barack Obama hi I would like see you and see what are going to do with the high gas prices are going to go up or down. I would like to see what are you going to do with the taxes. I would like to tell you if you are going to stop the war or are you going to have it keep it going on. I would like you to lower health insurance.6G -SM
Dear Mr. Obama, is it true that you are going to take away the automatic weapons. How do you think you will get our soldiers home safely and end the war in Iraq? How will you lower the taxes? How will you help to improve the economy? What will you do to make sure that families won’t go without health insurance?
6G, DA
