National+Issues+2014

=National Issues 2014=

So what issues are most important to the United States of America today? Which issues of national importance are most important to you, and where do you stand on them?

President Barack Obama is scheduled to give his 2014 State of the Union Address on January 28th. At that time he'll address the nation and challenge Congress to work in certain directions on key issues in 2014. What do you want him to focus on? What do you want him to set in the way of goals for our country both short term and long term?

On February 10th, our Mock Congress unit will begin and you can take up President Obama's challenge. Choose an issue, identify a problem, research and propose a practical, affordable, national issue to present to your peers in the form of a bill.

The conversation starts here. This is a required discussion.

Name your issue or your problem in the title of your message and post. If someone has already posted a topic that you care about, simply reply to their post and direct it with comments and questions down the path that you are interested in discussing.
