"Aloha Mr. President..."

(Editors note, The Honolulu Star-Advertiser is asking for Letters to the President while he vacations here in Hawaii they will run some of the letters. They ask for what you think are the top 5 priorities the president should tackle in the next two years, here's mine.)

Aloha Mr. President,

I live on the "Garden Island" of Kaua'i and one of your biggest advocates, I even named my four legged companion after you. My dream someday is to introduce my dog to you and say, "Obama meet President Obama."

Here are the top 5 priorities you should tackle in the next two years.

1- We need to withdraw from both wars, per your campaign promise. The money saved from war will be better used at home.

2- The U.S. needs to do something similar to Roosevelt's New deal, get American working for real.

3- With the money saved from withdrawing troops, Health care could be part of just being an American.

4- We need to become Independent of the oil rich nations, with alternative energy that we produce solely in the U.S.

5- If there is another bailout, give the money to the American people. Alaska Has the permanent fund dividend program where every year, every man women and child in the state of Alaska receives a four figure bonus check, it wildly stimulates the economy, by stimulating the economy it will have a positive massive economic epidemic trickle down effect.

I am proud to call you "My President!" Mahalo Nui Loa.
