Create A Cabinet Department of Longevity
Dear President Obama,
As a nation we face many critical challenges one, however, the aging of our population is not receiving adequate attention or resources. Before this challenge severely impacts our nation, create a new cabinet position and department - The Department of Longevity - to focus solutions, resources and attention on this essential topic. The future of this nation will depend on how we adress this challenge today.

Why is this important?
The aging of the US population - one person ever 7 seconds joins the 50 and older crowd - is one of the most critical issues of our time. It impacts economic, political, cultural, social and environmental issues and will dramatically alter the lives of young and old alike. Soon half our population will be in this category and our government, our institutions and businesses and many of our citizens are no prepared to address the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. We need an aggresive, innovative focus now.
