sure your kids can whine all day, but encourage them to voice their concerns to the proper authority. if i were in politics (let's have a moment of thanks that i am not), the most meaningful letters i would pay attention to would have to be the ones which came out of the mouths of babes. this is yet another way to show your kids that they can make a difference. and they can write letters for just about any bee in their bonnet. even that crack in the sidewalk robbing them of a smooth bike ride home.
the lesson: to convey to our children that we are all a part of this society regardless of religion, race, color or AGE. we have the birthright to speak up for what we feel strongly about. imagine if the president received a letter from every child in this country!?!?!
***added bonus, once the envelopes are out, maybe you can get them to squeeze in that thank you card to aunt tizzy from last year's hideous xmas sweater.
