Dear Mr. President,

I, like many other Americans was shocked and horrified to hear of the chemical attacks in Syria. We were shocked again when we heard of your response.

Sir, what Assad did was unforgivable. It was nice to see you acting in such a presidential way by responding to an international crisis. The only thing is, I'm a bit concerned. It happened so quickly that I wonder if you had the time to consult the cabinet? I also wonder, Sir, if you know about the impact your actions had on Americans. You were not in the military, so you might not know that we have forces in Turkey. If you'll look at a map, you'll see that Turkey borders Syria. That may not sound like a bad thing until you realize that the bad guys know that too, and you just basically poked them with a stick. So now they're mad, and those people in Turkey might be in trouble. You know they didn't volunteer for those deployments, right? They were told to go. Now Sir, I would recommend that the next time you retaliate, you do so in a more productive way. Consult your cabinet, and no, Ivanka doesn't count. I know you have generals. Ask them. They'll be able to direct you to the best, most prudent course of action.
Oh, and if you're still upset about the innocent Syrians, consider opening the country to refugees. That would help them much more than military action ever could.

Dear Mr. President, On this Earth Day, it's nice to celebrate the Earth and remind ourselves that it's the only one we've got. It's a chance to think about how we can all make a small difference that will add up to big results later. That's why I was so glad that you responded in such a way to the March for Science. Thank you for indicating the turn around your administration will be making to protect endangered species and further the efforts of those organizations dedicated to preserving the Earth. After all, we're not the only ones using the planet. We've got to think of everyone. I'm so proud of you, Sir. It takes a big man to make such a public change. I eagerly await the new policies.

Dear Mr. President, In an interview, you had some questions about the Civil War. Namely, why it happened and couldn't be worked out. Well Sir, let me tell you. Half of our country believed that owning a person as property was wrong. The other half were those that owned the slaves. At the heart of the matter was the way people viewed blacks. To the Southern American, a black person was not a person at all. I'm not even sure if they were considered to be as high as livestock, but they were definitely treated like manure. All because of an uncontrollable factor that allowed them to survive in such sunny climates. By that, I mean the color of their skin. One side thought people were nothing more than objects to beat and work to death, and the other side respected the sanctity of life. Those were some very deeply held beliefs Sir, and it is always difficult to change a fundamental opinion. As for Andrew Jackson being upset about the Civil War, he was dead by then. For 1...

Dear Mr. President, A disturbing report was brought to my attention today. You have allowed logging in National Parks. Is that true? That can't be true, Sir. Logging would destroy our National Parks. The effect would be terrible, both for the environment and for our reputation. People don't say America the Beautiful because of man-made structures. They say it because our country—YOUR country—is inherently beautiful. It's natural structures are breathtaking. Perhaps if you considered them the Trump Tower of parks. It would be like allowing gold minders into your homes. I've seen pictures. They would strip your home of it's very essence. The same is true of logging in the National Parks. Please don't let us become America the Deforested.
