Here is what she wrote.
Dear President Obama,
As human beings we need to take a stand. We need to reflect on a very important issue. One of the worst of them all. Animal Cruelty. I’m not saying we should all stop eating meat, (I didn’t) but treating these creatures better would be a good option of considering. The average chicken pen is 8 and 1 half by 11 inches wide. Does that sound like good treatment to you? If we are going to be killing these animals the least thing we can do is give them a happy life while they have it.
Together, in this astonishing country, we should be able to think of something to help these poor creatures, such as farm inspections to make sure the animals are not being mistreated. Also if the farmers can’t take care of their animals properly, (with good homes and stable food supply) they should be given monitored government funds. This is the USA , the land of the free and the home of the brave, and I think if we all came together like I know this great country can, we could and would change the world. These animals need a change and I need your help. Please respond!
From,

Okay. Wow. Talk about a deep thinker! She's a freaking genius! 6th grade? I love it!
And she would be proud of my and my chickens. They free-range it except at night and are VERY well taken care of :-).
Mary, I am jealous. One of my favorite memories as a child was having chickens!
Nay is quite the thinker and questioner. She has a lot to say and a lot to ask. I run out of answers quite frequently. I'm sure you can relate with yours as well - I think my biggest challenge as a parent so far - is keeping her BUSY. This I am grateful for :-)
I LOVE her letter. Obama better not let her down.
