It appears a 5-year-old may have the answers on how to solve some of our most pressing global issues.
Last week, a young girl named Yasmeen, who describes herself as “5 almost 6 years old,” wrote a handwritten letter to President Obama advocating for world peace and marriage equality.
“Please stop war for our world, instead have a meeting. Please give a speech to tell everyone they can marry who they want. Thank you,” her message read.
On Friday, Yasmeen’s aunt tweeted the letter to the president’s new @POTUS Twitter handle.

On May 18th, President Obama broke the Guinness world record for the “fastest time to reach 1 million followers on Twitter.” As of Tuesday, he has already racked up 2.44 million followers.
As we previously reported, the Secret Service monitors Twitter for threats while the White House is archiving each and every thing @POTUS tweeters say.
