    I’d most definitely ask Obama to promise to honor and reinstate the Constitution of this land. It’s been destroyed and mocked over the past 8 years to the detriment of every American. If you defend and honor the constitution, many of our problems will work themselves out as we try to recover from the mismanagement and bungling and idiocy of the past two terms.

    1) To educate Americans about the value and necessity of long-term investments in our public education, our land and our health.
    2) to promote social policies that are backed by longitudinal RESEARCH. Hopefully, over eight years, voters will grow accustom to this type of reasonableness and demand more of all their policy makers (local and federal).
