Dear President Bush,

I am a 16 year old attending a Catholic High School in Baltimore Maryland. I have grown up in a family of mixed political parties and have survived it all! But when I register to vote on Feburary 29, 2008 (my birthday) I will gladly check the Republican box, knowing that you will be our President of the United States. I want to thank you for your courage and charisma that has guided this country threw tough times. You choose decisions in times where they were hard to make, and you stand by them. I commend you for not changing your mind or any course of action, when you are under fire. Because I believe you made the correct choices, to make America and better and safer place to live. You have restored faith and happiness in Americans. You have rid the world of the most deviant dictator. You have captured some of the biggest terrorists that this world has ever known.

I have defended every notion made upon the War on Terrorism and the war going on in Iraq. I pray to God every day for our soldiers to remain safe, while protecting innocent Iraqui civilians who face terrorism in the first degree. I am proud to have American troops protecting foreign people, who direly need our help in their process to become a democracy. In the face of one of the most dangerous places on earth, our soldiers protect and serve, while being proud to wear the American flag on their armor.

You sir, make me proud to be an American.

Thank you Mr. President,

Ian Schwartz
