The following is via OnlySimchas.com:
14-year-old Michael Insel was fed up with reading the daily headlines about Israel’s never ending fight with terror.
The delay in the president’s response to the murder of Ezra Schwartz however was the impetus that caused the Yeshiva Bochur from Baltimore to write a letter to the US President.
Michael wrote the letter about a month ago. His proud mother posted the letter on her Facebook page to share with friends and family.
Eli Gold, Vice President of the London Center for Policy Research, saw the letter and felt compelled to share this with an even larger audience.
Gold, who runs a defense meeting on Capitol Hill once a month, invited Michael to come along to read his letter at Capitol Hill and to discuss his point of view of what he thinks should be changed.
Michael was very excited to seize the opportunity presented by Gold as he has always desired to take up a career in politics.
Michael subsequently spoke at the meeting this past Sunday and after that he was invited to further discuss U.S.-Israel relations with Congressman Trent Franks.

Would love to see that letter.
Can YW post it??
Kind of curious why you feel the need to distort headlines. We are here looking at your site anyways no reason to try and “trick” us into reading an article.
The boy is 14 years old. There is a lot to learn about the world and how it operates before attempting to “lecture” the President of the United States.
Crazy
Agree & disagree
Learning to be an activist & advocate for Jewish/Israel issues should start already in elementary school. His ideas MAY change as he matures yet hurray for those students who have opinions & the ability to express them.
