It is with great joy that I am writing this today. As many of you know my husband, Franklin D. Roosevelt, was elected president this past March. We are so fortunate to have so many friends and family that supported us through the election. But it was really Franklin doing all of the work, of course we already had many supporters, but after Franklin released his idea of the 'New deal' he quickly gained the popular vote. He told me of all his acts and programs that he had planned on issuing. The first one that he ever told me about was the Emergency Banking Act. He put his trust into the American people and he asked them to put their faith back into the banks[2]. By the end of this past March nearly three quarters of the banks were up and running again[1]. The New deal was the beginning to the end of these hard times. The country is slowly recovering from the depression and I am proud to say it is due to the generosity and determination of not only my husband but of all the American people. My husbands ideas brought hope to suffering people and with the help of everyone we were able to make them become reality. Within the past few months Franklin has passed sixteen new acts and plans that have contributed to the well-being of this country and will continue to do so. Like Franklin said, "There is nothing to fear but fear itself." I too believe that the worst is behind us. Times are looking up, not only for my family but for all American people.
