Dear President, I know the war is important and that there are a lot of hot topics today, but I'm going to talk about something that not many people talk about today. Human trafficking is a worldwide epidemic that is a modern-day slavery. I learned about it a couple years ago. And when I told someone that I was learning about human trafficking, they said, ""oh are you learning how to drive?"" We went into Iraq to stop human rights violations among those people - or so have been told. Yet in our own country, there are people being enslaved through sexual exploitation, and forced labor. Please end the oppression! Thank you. Alanna SUNY Fredonia, March 17, 2008
