We ask that he consider what legacy he will leave for the people of the United States, and the people of the World, at this critical juncture, with history as judge, and with respect to the expectations of the electoral majority who granted him his second term. We quote from and summarize the letter below: Mr. President, As you begin your second term, we ask that you consider what your legacy will be for the people of the United States and the people of the world. Please try to imagine some of the questions that future generations, including Malia and Sasha's children, may be asking about your tenure as president. Questions such as: What did you do to deserve the Nobel Peace Prize? What did you do to make the U.S. a more just and democratic society? The letter includes sections on: Unemployment and underemployment Energy and the environment Militarism and war Civil liberties Mass incarceration and the Failed "War on Drugs" Education The undermining of democracy by corporate money Federal budget negotiations and notes that: Regarding the ongoing budget negotiations, three issues should not be compromised: It closes with: We recognize that implementation of these suggestions will require broad support from the 30 percent of voters who supported you as well as the 44 percent who did not cast a vote. But with such pressure you could overcome the resistance from the Republican-controlled House and leave a formidable legacy of progressive programs. Should you choose to inspire and motivate your base of support, you will leave an enduring legacy about which you will be proud to tell your grandchildren. Please feel free to refer to the summary of the Green New Deal and the Green Party Platform for additional ideas for your legacy.
