Dear Commissioners:
I have enjoyed for many years the privilege of living in one of the safest neighborhoods in the country. Today, a large majority of this community feels that our security is compromised by a serious threat. You alone can help us to remove this danger from our lives. There have been a number of serious accidents at the crossroads and crossings along Main Street due to increased traffic through our town. We beg you to place effective streetlamps along all the crossroads and crossings as soon as possible. By doing this, you will save many lives and earn our gratitude.
Sincerely,
Debbie Green

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
