__Letter from a female citizen:__

Dear President Roosevelt,

My name is Alice Paul I have committed my life towards women’s suffrage and at this point in merely on my way towards earning a PH.D. I believe women’s suffrage should be a top priority to whoever is elected into office. It is my understanding that you and your Progressive Party are working towards women’s suffrage as well as equal opportunities and rights for women. I believe if America wants to succeed in this ever evolving world, women definitely need to be a part of it. Women are the shapers of the future the children are as mothers teach them to be and if we can shape the young minds of the next generation then what is stopping the American women having their own voice when it comes to elections. No matter what, women all across this great nation will voice their opinion in any form possible it would just be easier for the rest of society if women receive their right to vote. If America truly is the land of the free when will all people of all genders be able to vote for our leaders? At any cost women will have their unalienable right to vote, our separate efforts can be destroyed but our dream of an equal life for women all across this great country will never be extinguished. It is in your best intentions, Mr. President if you would use all your power to grant women a better way of life.

Sincerely,  Alice Paul

Theodore Roosevelt Eulogy “The one thing I want to leave my children is an honorable name” Born: October 27, 1858 Died: January 6, 1919 My good old Mr. Theodore, my brother, where are you now? He is up in the heavens now, watching over us. Let us know that Teddy did not fear death, he already faced death when his first wife Alice died. Though, he never gave up, he soon decided to pursuit a career in politics. In 1897, Roosevelt was assigned the secretary of navy under McKinley’s administration. He helped America became the number one power in the seas. He engaged the Spanish in the war against the Philippines and Cuba. He then resigned and became part of a US Calvary named the Rough Riders. When Teddy stormed at the battle of San Juan, he became a hero of war. After the assassination of President McKinley, Teddy became youngest President of the United States. Teddy believed that that the government should give the people back thier power and once said “The government is us; we are the government, you and I”. Teddy may also be remembered of his great achievements like trustbusting many corporations, his square deal, conservation movement, and the building of the Panama Canal. Though he had some failures, like not trying to end segregation, giving woman rights, and losing the election of 1912. though, Roosevelt was still an amazing Presdient and let us hope he rests in peace and let these final words dwell inside your mind: "Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat".
