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. 256 6 5654 Change We Wish To See... general 116487 anonymous anonymous anonymous 2008-11-07T17:29:27Z 2008-11-07T17:29:27Z general 65480 http://change.uservoice.com/pages/5654-change-we-wish-to-see-/suggestions/65480-improving-public-transportation-and-mass-transit 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. 104 1 5654 Change We Wish To See... general 116736 gdobbe gdobbe gdobbe 2008-11-07T20:11:55Z 2008-11-07T20:11:55Z general 65504 http://change.uservoice.com/pages/5654-change-we-wish-to-see-/suggestions/65504-real-healthcare-reform We need healthcare whether employed or not, rich or not, insured or not.

We've been detaining suspected enemy combatants at Guantanamo Bay for years now. We need to restore our reputation in the world, and that starts with respecting our own standards for Habeas Corpus. We need to charge each of the detainees, or release them. Holding people without charge - even so-called bad guys - undermines the rule of law and gives terrorists fodder for recruiting, making us less safe than if we just tried or released the detainees. 46 0 5654 Change We Wish To See... general 117223 Geektronica Geektronica Geektronica 2008-11-07T23:02:46Z 2008-11-07T23:02:46Z general 65820 http://change.uservoice.com/pages/5654-change-we-wish-to-see-/suggestions/65820-improve-the-economy-by-creating-green-jobs We need jobs that will last.

We need to reduce our dependence on foreign energy supplies. We need to reduce our impact on the environment. Work on all three issues by creating jobs in green industries: Conservation--improve energy efficiency in homes, schools and businesses; Green energy sources--wind, solar, biomass; Green transportation--mass transit, improved biking and walking, more efficient private vehicles (hybrid, solar, total electric, etc) 89 0 5654 Change We Wish To See... general 117574 smains smains smains 2008-11-08T02:27:28Z 2008-11-08T02:27:28Z general 2008-11-08T02:13:26Z 2009-10-31T14:18:17Z
