Dear Mr. Podesta,

I am contacting you with a somewhat unusual request and the hope that you might be able to convey this wish by my children to an appropriate staff person for President Obama in spite of the short notice.

Thank you. And thank you so much for the work you have been doing. I hope you are able to encourage Hillary Clinton to come out strongly to address dangers from Climate Change.

Sincerely,
Pam Vergun, Ph.D., M.P.A.

Dear Mr. President,

I hear that you are coming to our hometown of Beaverton tomorrow down the street from where my children were in a two-way Spanish immersion public school. I know this is a long shot, but I would like to tell you about the work my children and I are doing to help you stop Climate Change in case you would like to meet them.

Also, months ago, my son, who is also one of your fans, asked me to invite you to his Bar Mitzvah. Although we just learned that you will only be in Beaverton during the morning, I’m sure you would like Isaac's D'Var teaching will be on taking even more serious action on Climate Change.

My son is African-American, my daughter was born in the Marshall Islands, and my husband and I are European-American, and together we are doing all we can to impact policies especially the ones most needed to protect our planet. My son has been talking with the City of Beaverton about his petition to Mayor Doyle regarding fossil fuels and nuclear power. The links below are to the little websites I made for their Mitzvah projects, so Miko and Isaac can speak for themselves. Please glance at them to see if you could use them to inspire or highlight your own work as you have inspired us.

Isaac:     >https://yitzchakadin.wordpress.com<

Thank you so much.
With Love and Blessings to you and Michelle and your daughters, Pam Vergun
