Some letters that I liked are:
I liked this letter first because its from someone from Boston, MA which is the area that I am from. But I also liked it because it is like the guy is reaching out to the President saying please, please do not lie to us. We are the people and you are suppose to have our back. I think that these types of requests are very common from the public as we feel we have no control and the President, along with other members of congress do not fill the public into all the details that they know.

Overall after reading through several letters from all over the United States during this time period, the letters all say the same thing. No one is happy with the government and how things are being run. People are needing a change and feel they need to express to the President that they do not agree with how things are being run right now.
Although I believe that there no way to make everyone happy, and what makes one person happy will make another upset. This makes being president a difficult job, when you have billions of people that you have to please. Knowing that I think that it is interesting to see so many people with the same attitudes. Now I was too young during the time to remember or even understand the negative implications of what George Bush did to the people, however I do remember my mother being quite upset at points.
Looking back now, it is commonly said that George Bush was the most hated president, and based off of these letters I certainly would agree!
