    President's Message
    by Joe Galat

    Letter to the newly elected President of The United States of America:

    Dear Mr. President,

    Congratulations for winning this historic election.

    I have confidence that you will solve the financial issues we face. I believe you will also contain the Terrorists Bullies of many different names and agendas. There is reason to believe all nations have begun to actually be earth friendly. Now that the oil supply has increased and oil speculators have been regulated, there are good reasons for optimism during your term in office.

    As president of a national youth organization my concern is for our nation's greatest natural resource - our youth. I have spent most of my life with young people. I humbly submit to you a few suggestions toward preserving America's next generation.

    Hate is wrong. We in the AYF Community have always been dedicated to eliminating hate. Violence is ignorance. Every night street gangs go on murdering rampages. They kill other children for wearing the wrong colors. Shockingly 93 percent of the gang murders occur against rival gangs. It is common to read of multiple murders every weekend. If you believe every life is precious and must be respected, please stop the gangs.

    Human Traffic is increasing. Runaways are easy prey to the thugs who live off of others. There is more human trafficking today than in anytime in our history. It was estimated that 17,500 slaves were held against their will last year. Please free the slaves.

    Your health plan should allow all Americans to live a long and productive life. Please do not forget the leading danger to our youth. Automobile accidents are the number one cause of teen fatalities. DUI is a contributor in over half of the fatal accidents. Please make driver education courses mandatory and jail those who endanger others by driving under the influence.

    You said you want to improve America's education system. A good education is one that teaches children to live happy, joyous and free. In the difficult teen years kids need to know they are important to their family and community. School shootings are usually enacted by a loner who is considered an outsider or one who is a victim of bullying. Suicide is also growing at an alarming rate. Self esteem is so very important in the difficult teen years. Many teens feel compelled to enhance their looks through plastic surgery. Others take steroids to improve their sports performance. Teen pregnancy is on the rise. Please insist educators teach youth of their self worth.

    I have seen the fine men of American Youth Football working hard to change attitudes of young minds. Every life is precious. When kids are busy completing the circle of giving in their community they feel valued and worthy. Please thank our youth leaders for insisting their kids Give Back.

    Professional sports franchises can help you by setting examples. The funding of grassroots programs will ensure a fan base for the future. Please insist they reach out to all of God's children.

    These problems can not be solved in one month or one year, but let us begin a New American Youth Movement for the betterment of our country. Wishing you the very best as the leader of the free world and brave Country.

    God Bless America.
