I believe that the republican party we know today is about to experience it's death rattle.

You are the future of America. It will be up to you to return the nation to what the founding fathers wanted in the first place. My generation-the children of the Greatest Generation-has allowed the country to be highjacked by the corporate wealth thru buying politicians. You must change this by limiting the power of corporations and repealing the principle of corporate personhood.

A democracy is impossible without an educated electorate. Several things should be done to ensure this. First, reinstate the fairness doctrine so that no one doctrine can ever again gain dominance over the public's airwaves.

Following the same idea of education, please see that in this richest of lands, everyone can reach the highest level that their ability allows them, with money being no object.

I truly hope that you can redirect the energies of the nation away from war. In the next few years this nation will be spending more on weapons than the entire rest of the world. Just think of the wonders we will see if all the energy represented by that money could be directed to the benefit of the citizen, rather then the enrichment of the rich.

There are many other things that need changing, but if you can accomplish these few things everything else will take care of itself.

I promise that if you are succesful, those of us who came before you will smile, from wherever we are after leaving this earth.
