Yasmeen-Faruqui-obama-letter

Five-year-old Yasmeen Faruqui has the world all figured out and, with the help of her aunt, decided to give President Obama a few great words of advice.

According to ABC News, Yasmeen didn't feel like doing her homework one day and instead wrote to President Obama. Her aunt, Fahmida Zaman, posted Yasmeen's letter to Twitter and was thrilled to see the commander-in-chief noticed.

The letter read, "President Obama, I am Yasmeen, I am 5 almost 6 years old. 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."

In a response to Zaman, Obama wrote, "Tell your niece I real like her letter. Couldn't agree more!"

Zaman said the young girl has been a marriage equality advocate ever since she attended a family member's same-sex wedding — she was bothered when friends insisted to her that "boys can't marry boys."

"I don't think that's wrong," she reportedly told her mom.

"She's very much an independent thinker," said Zaman "She attempts to respectfully color outside the lines." She added, "I think it says a lot about our president, responding to a letter of a 5-year-old. That's pretty remarkable. It lets her feel like her voice is heard."
