I hope you and the First Family enjoyed your Easter. There have been relentless requests made of you lately. Some suggest that you may not be the rightful holder of your position. On behalf of our fellow US citizens, I would like to apologize for the blatant ignorance and disrespect shown to you. Never in my life have I witnessed such behavior from those who claim to be patriotic, lovers of our country and staunch supporters of the values and principles America was built on and stands for. Never have I observed pursuits for disqualifying factors with any other elected official - much less a United States President - to this degree. It frustrates me that you have to endure this, but as many other 'firsts' in our American history, senseless hardships are expected; and thus, the offenses made against you (and your family) are par for the course. I have done my best to avoid injecting the possibility of racially targeted attacks on your character, integrity and citizenship - basic qualities normally assumed of your Office. Unfortunately, those denying racial intent are turning a blind eye to this reality.
It is my hope that those carrying out these calculated attacks are part of a dying breed. It's a shame and I am ashamed of what I've seen by other Americans.
I suppose those who question your existence have pushed you to expose areas of your life that, under normal circumstances, would remain private (or at least not surrendered in this fashion).
So, now the entire world has a copy of your birth certificate:

I really wish you did not have to do this, but thank you for obliging. Hopefully, we can keep things moving along. No checkbook could pay for the truth. No one having access to large amounts of money should assume that wealth trumps the political process.
I wonder what will be asked for next. Perhaps demands for DNA samples? I wonder if they realize that no matter how ridiculous their accusations become, you (and those who believe in what your office is trying to accomplish) will not be distracted. I know you are aware of this, but I feel compelled to remind you that there are so many people praying for you; praying that you are not only safe, but secure, confident in your responsibilities, and focused on the tasks ahead. I may not personally agree with every aspect of my President's agenda (past Presidents included), but I respect the office. Now, only if others subscribed to that basic level of respect you deserve.
So Mr. President, I hope these menial requests don't discourage you too much. Please continue to work on our country's unemployment, economy, and education system. I don't want to sound bossy (I've been accused of that), but can you also continue working on phasing out the wars declared by your predecessor? I know that a Commander-in-Chief needs to do this strategically. Oh, one more thing: the gas prices are really becoming outrageous. Whatever you can do to bring fuel costs down (if anything) would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
