Good cents

Since 1909 President Lincoln has been occupying the front and back of the U.S. cent Next year
President Lincoln will be retiring after 50 years on the job and elections will be taking place for his replacement.
Some of the top contenders currently running for his spot are not the typical U.S. president’s but
their wives. The top four are in no particular order.

We start first with First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt. She is best known for her devotion to young people and the underprivileged. She was chairman of the Human Rights Commission and assisted her husband while in presidency on trips and meetings with world leaders.

A second contender is First Lady Nancy Reagan. The First Lady was a big advocate for
many charitable groups surrounding veterans, physically handicapped and those with drug and alcohol problems. She focused a lot of her time on raising the awareness of these problems.

The Third is First Lady Elizabeth Ford. Mrs. Ford fought a courageous battle of breast cancer and shared her experience publically. Another battle she fought was her dependency on drugs. She established the Betty Ford Clinic to help with treatment for the rest of us with this same problem.

And lastly we have First Lady Grace Anna Goodhue Coolidge. First Lady Coolidge supported the school for the deaf, and her husband’s political career, as she attended all social and political activities and kept up with family responsibilities at home.

All candidates should be credited for their great contributions while in the white house and should be recognized for their good deeds and what other better way to do it than to grace the cover of a good cent.
