Dear Mr. President,

Dear Mr. President:
 
I am a mother and a grass-roots community activist who is praying that you will lead the United States on a path towards prosperity and peace, not despair and war.   

I will leave the constitutional and legal arguments as to why you can’t start a war with Syria to the experts, but I hope you will not be persuaded by people who want you to stick to any proverbial “red line.”  The drawing of red, white or blue lines should be done by children on a playground, not by a leader of one of the greatest countries on Earth.  

Will you cause more blood-shed in the name of "core national interests" or because you don’t want to lose “credibility”?   

The world is now watching whether you respect the United Nations and International law or not. You received the Nobel Peace prize for a reason.  I hope and pray that you will show the world what a true leader looks like.
 
Will you to continue to work with the United Nations to impose meaningful consequences on the Assad regime, or will you go it alone? 

United the world stands, but divided the United States falls.

With deep respect, gratitude and love,
