After studying the election issues the Octopi practiced their letter wrting skills writing to President Obama. They choose an issue they felt strongly about and expressed their opinion. Here are a few examples:

Dear President Obama:
I am somewhat concerned about the jobs in the U.S. I am concerned because not so many people
have jobs here because all the jobs are in China because we don’t pay them much
so that means that jobs do better in China than in the U.S. But
it’s not good for the economy and if we bring back jobs to the U.S. than the
economy will get better.
I also would like to
have more support for our aerospace and maritime industries as well. They’re very important for us and the
world.
I hope if you get to be president again Mr. Obama, please
make this possible.
Sincerely yours,

Dear Mr. President:
I am writing to you today to talk
about the environment. I think the environment is BIG issue! The Environment is
a lot like a closet. You can keep stuffing it and stuffing it but then one day
you open it and put in just one deck of cards, and then the entire thing
crashing on your head. In our case it would be a lot worse than a ball bouncing
on your head, or your mom yelling at you. In our case neither you nor your mom
would still be alive!
Now, this is a crazy idea, but
you know those mini cars in the Mind Ware and Young Explores magazines? Well,
they come with pumpers that can turn water into fuel! I think we should full
scale them and use them instead of gas!
Thank you for your time,
S. L.B.

Dear Mr.
President Obama,
I am
concerned about ‘the Affordable Health Care Act’, I agree with it because my
mom explained the whole reason of why she agrees with it and I agree with her
that its fair, everyone should have health care and be more affordable. There are a lot of people in the United
States that are poor or can’t afford health care and if they got hurt or sick
couldn’t get help. I think it is good
that they can now get more affordable health care.
My
suggestion is to lower health care prices for everyone by putting the cost into
taxes. That way everyone would have health care and would be able to be treated
when they are sick.
Sincerely
Yours,

Dear President Obama:
I’m concerned about the
enviroment because there are so much pollution effecting animal’s habitats and
people. There’s too much fuel being
burned it’s killing plants, people and animals.
If we pollute more our economy will go down, people will lose lives and
most importantly there will be no food or safe water.
I approve of your suggestion
about investing in clean jobs. But I have an idea to save up money for water
powered stuff like cars and factorys which have water vapor as exhaust. I
admire your suggestions about the enviroment.
Sincerely yours,
