The inclusion of Esperanto as a foreign language in the US, should be the first step to the most important asset for the humanity. Once anyone lands on Esperanto, the chance to communicate satisfactorily after 4 months of study with any other in the world, who suppossedly should have invested too 4 months time studying...it´s wanderful.
I myself love English, and hardly and carefully study it. With Esperanto the matter is quite different. Nobody is required to master this language to communicate. With a minimum effort the goal of communications is reached and guaranteed.

A STEP TO PERFECTION
Mr President, Barak Obama:
There is already a movement to include Esperanto as a foreign language in a great country, as it is the US of America. I myself live in other country of America, Argentina, being an inmigrant from Europe after the II World War. Nowadays, I consider myself a man of the world, who does his best to help people from everywhere. For that aim, a right communication is always required.
This movement of the US government to provide Esperanto in the schools as a foreign language, not only will help people of US to communicate whith others practically with no effort, but it will be the greatest signal given by your country towards a fair, non selfish communication between each other all over the world.
Due to this, Mr President, I want to: a) join the idea, b) offer my own power and that of many other esperantists, to cooperate in this great deal.
Very truly yours,
[Your name]
