President Elect Obama,

The repulican method of getting the nation to focus on war and the military complex isn't working. Lets call the trickle down theory the middle age term it deserves--- Might is right theory. It doesn't work and doesn't get a nation to come together towards a common goal.

The way I see it... We need some goal to help bring Americans together to work towards a common goal. If we could come up with something that a majority of Americans bellieve enough in to support it and work together.

We could build a whole industry on global envirnomental sciences. If we could build up that industry, we could export to other countries and help the environment.

We could build an industry and infrasturture that uses alternative fuel for transportation. I wouldn't bail out American car companies. Those companies should have taken que from Japan over 5 years ago when they started building hybrid cars. They didn't invest in the future, let them die in the future.

The US has the highest rate of nationals being incarcerated. These people need jobs that the current workplace overlooks.

The US doesn't keep track of people that recieved unemployment insurance after they have stopped drawing unemployment. These people need a hand up, to get back on their feet.

Rebuilding the environment and infrasturctures can help get us working together. Lets make it... America the Beautiful. America the technological advanced. America my brothers keeper, by taking care of the environment.

We need some goal to work towards.

Anybody else have any ideas?

Thank You

Jeff Smith
