“I received a letter in the mail from a young friend. "Dear Congressman Brown: "I'm happy to be writing to you. "I have an issue I think is important. I don't want the FDR dime to be changed to the Reagan dime because FDR has a real story. The story is when FDR tried to find a cure for polio, he asked children and grown-ups all over the United States to send dimes to the White House. By the end of the year, they had collected more than $1,000 in dimes. "There would be no particular reason to have Mr. Reagan on the dime, but there is a reason that FDR should be on the dime. It is almost like having a monument to FDR in your pocket. "I think another very important issue is health care. I believe we should have a national health care system. If people don't have health care and they get sick, they could die. If I get a very bad disease, I might get very good antibiotics and live. I would get those antibiotics because I have health care. But other people couldn't get antibiotics if they didn't have health care and couldn't afford them. "Thank you for letting me write to you." It is signed Alex Friedman. "P.S. I am an 8-year-old in the third grade.”
