...Dear Mr. President, Civic participation is very important because every citizen (or at least the majority of them) need to engage in the public sphere, including political processes. Media participates often because it lets the public know what’s going on in society. Political participation is also important because if people don’t vote, there wouldn’t be a politically balanced system. No one would be in charge, and people would be in havoc. There was one person that influenced the political participation and that is Susan B. Anthony. Susan contributed towards the right to vote. She drafted the 19th Amendment which clearly states “The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex”. The amendment made a huge impact because before the Amendment was ratified, women weren’t allowed to vote. Susan felt as if womn deserved to vote no matter what sex they were. There were many womans rights activists that supported the womens rights to vote but Susan was the only one that expressed her feelings to the public and made a difference. She wanted fairness between bth sexes. Men had more advantages than women in their society at the time. This motivated her to stand up and do whats right for the future of woman, and that woman deserve the same rights as men. Susan should have her own holiday because she honestly deserves it. She changed the lives of every woman ever. She allowed every U.S...

...Dear Mr. President, I am a photographer who’s observed many disturbing sights and am showing it to you so that you can see the perils that has befallen your country, Mr. President. I had the opportunity to visit many states where the Great Depression has hit the most, and was shocked to find how bad the lives of people were. In Illinois, there was a young boy whose dad didn’t have a job so they were unable to pay their rent for months. His brother couldn’t afford a car to go to school, so he hasn’t attended for 2 weeks, and the boy’s sister can’t seem to find work either. I observed these farmers in North Dakota that were homeless, beaten down by the rain and shivering because they didn’t have anything since the Dust Bowl wiped out all their crops and the Depression struck. They begged for anything I could give to help them. It was heartbreaking and sad. I took a picture of a 19-year old girl from New Jersey, and let me tell you Mr. President, she looks so old for her age. Her face is haggard and stretched. The effects of the Depression have really messed up our kids. The girl explained that she and her family just lost their house, and she needs money for her graduation. She also requested her glasses to be changed since her eyesight is very poor. I have taken time to think of some ways that could be of benefit to you and the people in figure out how to move past this terrible time. First off, there could be a lottery every week for the people in every state. Whoever wins gets...

...English Speech ‘Dear Mr President’ – P!NK The song Dear Mr President by Pink was written on Martin Luther King Day in 2005 and released in 2006. This song is described as an open letter to the President of the United States at the time, George W Bush. Pink’s distinctive voice addresses criticism to him and the policies of his administration. She describes it as one of the most important things she has written. The purpose of Pink’s song is to touch on emotional social issues such as the No Child Left Behind Act, the gay rights issues, the war in Iraq and the lack of empathy towards working middle class citizens. This song is directed at George Bush himself but also catches the attention of a wide audience such as American citizens and individuals who have listened to the song as the issues addressed in the song happen all over the world. The song starts with the line ‘Dear Mr President, Come and take a walk with me, let’s pretend we’re just to people and you’re not better then me’ by saying this Pink is trying to close the social gap between the president and everyday people while voicing her opinions to him and inviting him to listen. The lyrics to ‘Dear Mr President’ are bold statements represented by using continuous rhetorical questions as well as metaphors and the use of first person. Pink uses questions such as “What kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay” referring to his opinions on same sex marriage and his push for the Marriage Protection...

...A memorable debut celebration relies on an engaging program with a smooth flow.

Check out our sample program for a hitch-free debut party. Cocktail Hour (20 minutes) Your guests may arrive at varying times. Before the program starts, you can have a cocktail hour, where your guests can munch on appetizers before the actual dinner.

Welcome Remarks, Debutante's Grand Entrance (10 minutes) You want your grand entrance to be as breathtaking as it can be. To set the tone for the evening, consider having a creative entrance that complements your party's theme.

I'd like to ask you some questions if we can speak honestly. What do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street? Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep? What do you feel when you look in the mirror? Are you proud? How do you sleep while the rest of us cry? How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye? How do you walk with your head held high? Can you even look me in the eye And tell me why? Dear Mr. President, Were you a lonely boy? Are you a lonely boy? Are you a lonely boy? How can you say No child is left behind? We're not dumb and we're not blind. They're all sitting in your cells While you pave the road to hell. What kind of father would take his own daughter's rights away? And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay? I can only imagine what the first lady has to say You've come a long way from whiskey and cocaine. How do you sleep while the rest of us cry? How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye? How do you walk with your head held high? Can you even look me in the eye?

...piesne ako Stupid Girls alebo Dear Mr. President, v ktorom napísala list pre bývalého amerického prezidenta G. Busha. Myslím si, že to nie je ten typ speváčky, ktorá má len pesničky o párty a ako zbaliť chlapa, ale má piesne, z ktorých si vieme niečo zobrať. Potvrdzujú to aj jej posledné albumy I´m not dead a Funhouse, ktoré v nasledujúcich odstavcoch budem porovnávať. I´m not dead je speváčkin štvrtý album vydaný v roku 2006. Recenziu, ktorú som si o tomto albume vybrala je napísaná Barrym Waltersom, ktorý je hudobný kritik pôsobiaci vo viacerých celosvetovo známych časopisoch ako Rolling Stone alebo Spin. V jeho recenzii sme si mohli hned na úvod všimnúť, že porovnal Pink k Madonne, presnejšie ich spoločný talent na posilnenie ich umenia vnútornými konfliktami. Neskôr citátom: “The album is proof that you don't necessarily need to work with rock guys if you want to rock“( album je dôkaz toho, že nie je potrebné pracovať s rockovými producentami, ak chcete pravý rock) načrtol v akom štýle je album vedený. Autor síce neopísal všetky piesne na albume, ale spravil pesničkový rozbor k najväčším hitom tohto albumu, ku ktorým nepochybne patria piesne ako Stupid Girl, U+Ur hand, Dear Mr. President alebo Leave me Alone. Pesničkový rozbor týchto piesní bol všeobecný: štýl piesne, pocity a krátka charakteristika piesne. Veľmi sa mi páčilo, že autor podporoval svoje argumenty časťou textu piesne, napríklad “... and writes a scathing letter in "Dear Mr. President","You've come a long way...

Tanato, Vice President Subject : Problem with office sanitary Dear Ms. Marfanisha, Regarding to the report you had sent to me about the issues of the sanitary in the office. There are some issues that are not satisfactory for me. There are some things that I wanna ask you about this issues. I don’t really think that the sanitary toilets, pantry and the hallway could affect the employee’s performance since they work on their own work place. And why the employees not helping the workers by maintain the cleanliness of the office, since they’re the one who used it. And about the outsourcing thing, why don’t we just train the existing workers rather than hire new workers that will allowing costs more. And speaking of that, how much approximately will it cost to hire new workers? Would it be more efficient than train the old workers? And the last thing is, why can’t we ask the existing workers to see if there’s any problem or own reasons due to their job. Hope by asking the workers will answers all the issues about this sanitary in the office. Contact me for the further discussion.
