List of reasons why the administration should give me five dollars:
* All my five dollar bills are crumpled.
* I'd be more inclined to recommend this government to all my friends and even rate it highly on Yelp.
* I would spend the five dollars at a business or vending machine, thus stimulating the economy.
* Five dollars won't break the US treasury, surely--are we in such dire straights?
* Seriously.
* Super easy petition to respond to, demonstrate the administration's willingness to listen to 'the little guy'.
In closing, I hope that you seriously consider this proposal as a way to interact more closely with your constituency.
