Dear Obama

Dear Obama, My name is Jane Doe. I am an 11th grade student from Knoxville, Tennessee. Do not let my age fool you. I am well aware of the atrocities happening within our government. I am writing this letter to you, because I have a few concerns with our government today.

There is a potential collision course over the federal budget. The possibility of a government shutdown is closer than it has been in years. According to what you said at a press conference, if the government shuts down, “"People don't get their Social Security checks." Some people depend on those checks to live.

In my opinion, something should be put in place, incase such a thing does happen. Last, but not least, is the eavesdropping on our personal communication devices. The Fisa Law ensures that the US Government needs a warrant to listen in on our calls and read our emails. That means that they have to
