President Danilo Medina

Av. Mexico, Esq. Dr.Delgado
Santo Domingo, D.R. 10101

Dear Mr. President,

We, the Dominican society, salute respectfully while we publicly recognize your efforts of directing a public function in a efficient, dynamic and transparent way and your dedication to achieve a more prosperous nation and filled with opportunities for all. In recent months the country has been the scene of a just and necessary debate on the economics and environmental benefits, advantages and disadvantages of mining contract signed between the State and the Company Dominican old town Barrick Gold Corporation.

I know, that all Dominicans of goodwill, those who believe that the national interest is above parties, groups and interests, were deeply satisfied with the decision last February 27, regarding the company Barrick Gold while us were against this final decision made. No matter, President, that certain segments of society, with economic power now want to make the argument that "legal security" to justify the shameful contract, when thanks to the legal security they have here been able to increase their fortunes without thinking of the hundreds of thousands of poor people in this country. Nothing is above the interest of the country, interest in making money, that's what you showed and that's what concerns us most.
Barrick Gold has worked against everything we’ve worked so hard for to build and the government seems to give such little importance about this problem we are facing and who gets affected during this process or the damage it’s causing. This gold mining company is one of the biggest threats to destroy human health and agricultural population in the Northeast. The consequences that this evil company produces are: theft, fraud, eviction peasant of the environment: water pollution, poisoning of animals, and destruction of

    In section 2339B of AEDPA, the definition of “material support” is mentioned and/or created (Sutherland 237). When Congress passed the USA Patriot Act of 2001 and the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevent Act of 2004, both acts successfully broadened the definition of “material support” (Sutherland 237-238). Under the Material Support law, one risks going to prison for 15 years if he provides any of the following to an FTO: providing personnel service, advice, training, intangible or tangible property and communication (Price, Rubenstein and Price 3). This law does not differentiate between people who intend to support a groups’ illegal activity and those who do not…

    GW: At the time of the appointment, I was a member of the second Continental Congress and fighting had already broken out in Massachusetts and Congress wanted to raise an army quick, so they unanimously selected me for the task due to my previous participation in the French and Indian War. This was not a position that I wanted or sought out; instead I avoided it at all costs as is seen in my letter to Martha immediately following my appointment to commander-in-chief. Even though I could have declined I believed that doing so would have dishonored me and pained my friends (“Washington to Martha Washington” 1). I did not want to be away from my family nor did I think that I was worthy of the job yet out of a sense of duty for my country and a…

    As expressed in the President Fillmore's letter, I would describe Japan as "angry and frustrated." They did not want to accept the letter because it was one of their polices, and they felt as if President Fillmore had broken their private policy and thy was not willing to abide by it by any means. President Fillmore wanted to make Japan and the United States of America equal and more friendly towards one another but Japan felt as if his decision to do so would only cause problems, and that it did. I felt as if President Fillmore was making a great choice by trying to get Japan and the United States of America to come together as a whole and agree on a few things, because two minds are always better than one, but that still did not change the…

    Many of the days we celebrate over each year are days where society was changed by someones actions. We usually name that day after that person and do a memorial of their achievements, and celebrate their accomplishments. There are several people we acknowledge annually, but there are few that we overlook; If there is anyone in our history that should deserve their own holiday, it would be Elizabeth Blackwell. She stood for equality and the betterment of women in the 1800's when women were seen as lesser beings than men. She took a huge leap towards medicine, and became the first woman ever to graduate from a medical college and obtain a medical degree. She then started a new age, where women were able to go to school for medicine and also obtain their degrees; making them equal to the modern men of that time. She not only took the first step as the female race towards a better education, but helped it ti prosper by building a school, and medical center for women and children. But first, her beginning; Elizabeth was born on February 3rd, 1821 in Fristol England. Her family moved from England to the United States in 1832, when she was 11 years old. Her father's death enforced her decision to open up a school alongside her mother, and sister in 1838. After a few years of teaching in her school, Blackwell decided to study medicine and become a doctor. She studied independently under a doctor for a little over a year before she was accepted into the Geneva Medical College in upstate New York in 1847. Her acceptance created an up rage with the educational community. Not only was she discriminated against because she was a women, but she was doubted by more then half of her peers to succeed. Though through it all she graduated with a medical degree in 1849. Elizabeth then returned to London, and then to Paris to practice medicine under her new degree. She gained experience, and learned some hands-on trade before she came back to the United…

    Given the primarily Hispanic community here in El Paso, domestic violence is more prevalent and getting out of these abusive relationships is often more difficult because of the cultural values. I would like to urge you to consider the children that are caught in between. Currently there is only “In the best Interest of the child” clause, but even then, women of domestic violence are placed in a dangerous situation of sharing custody with their abuser. While I am not advocating for totally cutting a father out of the picture, I do believe preventive measures need to be put in place to ensure that these kids do not suffer more than they already have.…

So the question arises, “is President Obama right or wrong to normalize relations with Cuba?” President Obama is right to normalize relations with Cuba because it will economically benefit us and Cuba is no longer a threat to the United States.…

    I am writing to you, to express my opinion on the Declaration of Independence. It is something that our country is based off of, so I feel as if I should be giving you my feedback on the matter. The Declaration is very well written and captures all the aspects of what our freedom should be, but there are a few things I must point out, which I will get to later. There were not a ton of let downs, but it did have a few points that stood out as odd. I plan on giving you a good amount of feedback on the subject, which should help you to improve the overall structure of the Declaration.…
