  <text>An underfunded, understaffed, and neglected American public school system will never make our country great again. With buildings in disrepair nationwide, we must enable local governments to remodel or replace our most vital resource and restore hope to our nation's youth.

Education empowers the youth of today and the leaders of tomorrow with a love of learning, a sense of inquisitiveness, and ambition to reach beyond the status quo. If our democracy is to function well, we need to have people who are able to think, explore, imagine, and engineer or country's future.

Without quality education for ALL of America's youth, we cannot expect to maintain our competitive edge in business, finance, technology, math, and sciences.</text>

  <text>BarackObama is currently the most followed user on Twitter. I think this makes for a great way for him to get out quick messages with his audience. 

The problem is, HE is not Tweeting. His political campaign has. I suggest Obama gets on Twitter himself and give updates to people. Words of inspiration and hope and status on his initiatives. 

Please see Gary Vaynerchuck's video on this subject:

Thanks,

  <text>It's irresponsible of us to think that we can continue to drive everywhere, especially in large urban areas. We need to spend money, time, and effort to build out our public transportation (buses, light rail, subway, etc.) as well as nationwide mass transit such as Amtrak.</text>
