Dear Mr. President, It saddens me to say that I didn't vote for you. In fact, I'm a 31 year old woman, and I've never voted in a presidential election. The only time I've actually been in the US for an election, I had just given birth, so it wasn't really on my mind. All the other times, the absentee date has just passed me by. A part of me let it pass though, because my American history teacher once told us that if you are uninformed, you should not vote. An uninformed vote is worse than a wasted vote. I had never really cared enough to educate myself. I have to admit that I am concerned about your election, Mr. President. Some things came out about you during the campaign that sound like you might not respect a lot of your voting public. I'm worried that now people will see you accepting prejudices and think it's okay to be prejudiced toward religious, racial, or sexual groups. Mr. President, as a woman with a daughter, I am concerned. I hope no on...
