Final Answer:

Hello, my fellow citizens in 2020, it’s me, George Washington,
the first President. I am writing from (the) attic, where
I have been secretly living for the past 245 years. I am
concerned by the chaotic state of affairs in America these days.
It seems that your politicians are more concerned with
blaming one another than with listening to the
voices of the people. When we declared our independence
from (the) England, we set forth on a/an noble path
guided by the voices of the everyday farmers. If we’re going to
keep thriving, then we need to learn how to respect all
people. Don’t get me wrong; we had huge problems
in my day, too. Benjamin Franklin once called me a/an goofball
and kicked me in the butt. But at the end of the day, we
were able to live in harmony. Let us find that patriotic
spirit once again, or else I’m taking my face off the quarter!
