A VALENTINE SPECIAL LETTER FROM FIRST LADY MICHELLE OBAMA

VietPress USA (Feb. 14th, 2016): Today is VALENTINE's Day. I am the owner and Editor-in-Chief of the VietPress USA News Agency in California, USA.

I am also a Novelist, Movie Feature Film Story writer, Poet, Song writer, Movie director, Oil painter and Journalist.

But most of all, I am so proud that I support President Barack Obama and act as one of his Honorary Advisers from "Kitchen Cabinet" selected by DNC.

I would like to thank President Barack Obama and American First Lady Michelle Obama for their contribution to rebuild our Country, the United States of America; and to thrive the World.

Today on the Venlentine's Day, Feb. 14th, I just received a lovely and hearty Email message from First Lady Michelle Obama that I want to share to our worldwide readers of the VietPress USA.

I wish everybody will give your strong supports to President Barack Obama for him to complete all his projects; and to stand with First Lady Michelle Obama to fight for full equality to LGTB Community.

Happy Valentine!

Hanh --

Every year on Valentine's Day I can't help but think back to my first date with Barack.

I had been reluctant to go out with him, but he was persistent, and I eventually said yes.

We took a walk through the gardens at the Art Institute in Chicago, saw "Do the Right Thing," and went out for ice cream (he was really trying to impress me).

It took some convincing, Hanh, but I'm so glad I went on that date.

I simply cannot imagine my life without the unwavering love and support that has defined our marriage, and I'm so glad that we have finally achieved marriage equality, affirming, as Barack put it in his inaugural address, that "if we are truly created equal, then the love we commit to one another must be equal as well."

But the fact is that too many people in the LGBT community still face harassment and discrimination because of who they are or whom they love.

That's unacceptable. It's simply not who we are as Americans.

OFA is one of the groups fighting for full equality for all Americans -- regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. Add your name to say you'll join the fight.

I'm going to keep speaking out against discrimination because LGBT Americans deserve the same rights and opportunities as everyone else.

I hope you'll stand with me and OFA in continuing this mission -- add your name today:

With love,

Michelle Obama
