"Letters to President Obama" 

Today, we launched a new Tumblr account called "Letters to President Obama," highlighting some of the letters that people across America have written to the President.

Every day, the Office of Presidential Correspondence receives thousands of letters, and every night the President personally reads 10 of them. By letter and by email, Americans write in about the issues that affect them and their families.

It's one of the ways the President can hear directly from Americans about their lives, and it's one of the ways that the stories and voices of Americans across the country directly inform policymaking by the President and the White House.
