President Obama: It's time to start the conversation about poverty in America and the growing divide
Dear President Obama:
As your constituents, we are demanding that you hold an evening press conference to make a national address regarding poverty in the United States before July 4, 2013. We would like you to put in motion action that will demonstrate what you will do to help end poverty in our time.
Respectfully, The Voters

Why is this important?
I'm asking you to sign my petition requesting President Barrack Obama to address poverty in the United States. Tavis Smiley and Dr. Cornell West are doing their part to bring this issue to light. Yet, no where in our mainstream media do we hear about poverty. Did you know that during the Chicago teacher strike last year, schools in our Presidents home town were left open so the children could get food to eat? Did you know that 1 in 2 babies born in the United States is eligible for WIC?
150 Million, yes that is half of our nation are considered the working poor. This is a national security issue. We are leaving American's behind in the face of soaring Wall Street profits. This doesn't make any sense. Who are we as American's to allow 50% of our population to live in these type of conditions? How can we call ourselves a great nation?
To learn more about the issue of poverty please take time to watch the recent forum in January.
