Dear President Barack Obama,

You are right with your remarks as you have often been.
However, I don’t think that much has changed despite your promise that you would change Washington.
I am not sure if you were ever able to change much, since you had a full plate to deal with after your election.
However, I had hoped for one thing that should have been changed by now.
The political system in Washington.

As long as politics is continuing in the way it has been over the last 30 or so year, the future for America looks quite bleak. In my opinion, it is appalling that the strongest country in the world continues to rely on such old political system, that was made when most American where still riding on horses and trying to defend their land by themselves.
We are in the 21st century and we still haven’t been able to change our voting system to a proportional representation system. It is appalling that a party like the Republican Party is able to change zoning to favor their electoral outcome. Why are other countries in this world more advanced in this respect than the U.S.A?

And why does our country, the U.S.A, have almost the worst schools in the world considering the GDP?
Why do corporation get more money than our public school? 
Why do we spend more money on the military than our public school? 
Why do we spend more money on the wealthier in the country than our public school? 
I could go on and on but I think I made my point!

I think Democrats have to expose politicians (especially from the Republican Party) and their true agenda by telling the American voter where they stand in respect to these important issues. It is not right that Republicans use unfair tactics, such as scare tactics as well as falsifying the truth and are able to get away with it.

Things have to change or we will see the same kind of problems as we have just witnessed in the United Kingdom.
