I would be most interested in a revised and simplified tax system that is fair. I am interested in paying off our debts and living within our means, but not by giving more to those who don't need it. I would be very interested in improving our education system without taking away from state responsibilities. I would like to know how we unite our American team without having to have a war or attack by a foreign invader. I would like to see a greater emphasis on health and wellness through preventive health care. I think we need less "in your face" discourse and more dialogue. Seems like I would have a bunch of advice and a few questions. I hope whomever the next president is, they accept responsibility, humble themselves as servants on our behalf, be strong and consistent in the face of adversity, and take care of our military.

I hear a lot of the same desires from many people. It seems our elected leaders could do a better job representing our needs and desires.

COL Mikel J. Burroughs I would remind him/her that he/she represents the people of the United States of America, and not special interest groups, or foreign governments.

PO1 Kerry French - unfortunately there are those who refuse to look into the candidates records on voting or their stances. People not going to vote is one of my pet peeves. Using the excuse" it's not my fault, I didn't vote" is in fact a lie. Not voting gives the other candidate an extra vote. So no matter whose lies you believe most, get out and vote.

Col. Sir I think that is what is wrong with our country now. They have forgotten who they represent. They don't have time for the people like us. It re-election or getting some agenda across. Well we look at Ocare, and that's not working good. O's green companies failed. The auto bail-out cost a ton of money. Michelle's school lunch program has failed but it still being pushed. This entire past almost 8 years has been a toral waste of money and efforts. A lot of the military leader bit the dust. You are right, they need reminding.

Would you like to borrow my pen to rescind all those Executive Actions Obama signed bypassing Congress and the Judiciary?

MCPO Roger Collins - Iran won't attack Israel that will provoke war with the US. Plus Iran using nuclear weapons will get them destroyed by other nations including Russia and China. Israel isn't even a legal state they are sitting on Palestines land.
