Dear President

Dear Mr. President,

In the wake of the chemical attacks in Syria, one thing to reflect on is that a destabilized nation will not survive, and that the stability of a nation depends on a democratic, and well structured environment for citizens within it. While job creation and the over-all economy has reached a better over-all state, there is so much more that could be done if the U.S. diverts its attention back to the economy and education. As the President, you often promote the glory of America and the pride of being the best nation ever, but we need a better system of growth and tolerance. I also think we need to invest more in impressing the international community. Most of all, reforming education so that it's more accessible will definitely help improve this country completely. The youth of the nation is the backbone of America's future and if we're all in debt from college, then we won't be able to do much to save the U.S. from bankruptcy.

I also think we need to do something to save the U.S. dollar and the best way to do that is: bring back pride in America and invest in innovation so that America can leap ahead and begin to compete in specialized fields that inspire growth and other countries to participate. I.e. green Energy, scientific innovation, technological advances, more open ended market and protections on ideas and information (because having people able to access your information online also could lead to copyright infringement and info stealing--these are just a few things that I feel you also agree are good for the economy and job creation.

I'm lucky that I have a scholarship that helps to pay for a college tuition, and that is one great thing about living in America; having good education available is essential to quality of life and my ability to contribute ideas and skills to the world. Communications is also very essential to the 21st century and a growing understanding of what we find valuable. While technology can overwhelm and sometimes distract us from reality's concerns, it also provides the means of transference of ideas. I believe protecting the ability to think freely without interruption and intrusion is vital- please try to set policies that protect us from abuse of this powerful resource (internet and social media) to keep our info and ultimately, ourselves safe. Thanks and sincerely, Gabby.
