>Dear Fatima,
I think you make a great point, there is no need for the citizens of brazil to get rid of da Silva. He has help out the citizens greatly, even though he has gotten into his share of scandals and controversies the brazilian people still aprecciate what he has done for them. I also like how you admit how you don't know muuch about the other candidates. It is probably the same for many people in your class. If you like the current president then there is no need to look at the other candidates.
This was great article.
