Dear Mr. POTUS, I loved your speech that you made to the auto workers

in Missouri. It hit all the right notes about congressional obstruction and the need to raise the debt ceiling. However, I would have been more impressed if that speech had been done on the steps of Congress while they were in session debating, or more accurately, obstructing the business of the people.

You can still do it. Invite unions and others to send their people to listen to your speech. Do it on the steps or even the rotunda of Congress while they are in session. Really, addressing these issues to people in the middle of America who can't do anything about it, makes them not notice at all, like you and your ideas never existed.

Thank you for at least reading this Mr. President.
