How do we get this message into that meeting?
Dear President Obama,
Many presidents have been faced with great challenges throughout American history. Some have been at the forefront of courageous decisions that defined them as a great president.
Since George Washington presidents have used Executive Orders to correct an injustice
In 1862 President Lincoln by Executive Order suspended the writ of habeas corpus and issued the Emancipation Proclamation .
President Truman by Executive Order integrated the armed forces of the United States.
President Eisenhower by Executive Order desegregated schools.
President Kennedy and President Johnson by Executive Order barred racial discrimination in federal housing, hiring and contracting.
Mr. President you have the will of the House of Representatives and the majority vote in the United States Senate to correct an injustice to children who were brought to the United States without their consent and were raised here as loyal patriotic Americans. In a sense they are American refugees.
These great Presidents could no longer stand on the side lines and tolerate the injustices and suffering of so many people.
Mr. President find it in your heart and ask God for the wisdom and justice that you may have the courage by Executive Order to implement the will of the United States House of Representatives and the Senate of the United States. Grant a temporary status for children with college degrees or willing to serve in the United States military.
Sincerely,
Children who grew up loving the United States of America
