 * Below is a letter to email to President Barak Obama to continue America's support of Israel**

Dear President Obama,

I am (__name)__ a student at (__your high school__) high school in (__town, state__). Congratulations on being elected President of the United States. As our new Commander in Chief, you have many relationships that you must safeguard. I want to emphasize that the United States' relationship with Israel is crucial to our own security and the safety of the whole democratic world. Especially in this challenging time, it is important for us to remember this.

The U.S.-Israel relationship has been strong for over 60 years. Israel needs America's continued support, especially in these times of turmoil. It is beneficial to our country to maintain a loyal relationship with Israel, as well. Israel is the only democratic country in the Middle East. As Congressman Rothman of New Jersey, your staunch ally, often says: for every dollar that we give to Israel, we receive far greater returns. Israel serves as a very important strategic ally for our country because of its location at the center of so many of our adversaries. We save billions of dollars and many American lives by having Israeli troops, instead of American troops, fight to keep the region stable. They also serve as our eyes and ears in the region so that the United States can spend money in places where we do not have allies as reliable as Israel.

We share not only military and political goals with Israel, but academic and economic aspirations as well. For example, we are currently partnering with Israel via private industry and the U.S.-Israel Energy Cooperation Act to develop energy efficient technology from which both will benefit.

Lastly, but equally important, both our countries share a deep belief in democracy as a right of all people. Israel is often forced to fight and die for that belief. With all my heart, I hope that you will begin your presidency by stating that you will continue to cultivate a strong U.S.-Israel relationship. Thank you, and good luck!
