Dear Mr. President is a 1942 album album by the Almanac Singers: Agnes Cunningham, Baldwin Hawes, Woody Guthrie, Millard Lampell, Lee Hays and Pete Seeger. After the Japanese attacks on Pearl Harbor in 1942 the Almanacs went into the studio to record a set of songs supporting the American war effort. This was partly to due with the fact that with American entrance into World War II all American unions adopted a no-strike pledge.[1] This lost the Almanacs a sizeable chunk of their working repertoire. The songs are:[1]
