The 8 associate justices are nominated and confirmed by the President of The United States of America with the consent of the state senate.

Dear Mrs. Zoe Lofgren

Good morning, I'm informing you today about wanting to take a tour at the famous White House in Washington DC. I would love to take the tour there because I want to see the famous historical portraits around the home and other amazing things in Washington DC, such as the statue of Abraham Lincoln. It would be a great experience for me.Things are not the same when viewing them online. Just like seeing the inside of The White House online isn't the same as if I got to see it in person. This trip would mean everything to me. I would love to be given a once an a life time opportunity to see the enormous White House. 

Sincerely,

Jasmine Tamayo

Citizen of San Jose, CA
