President Obama and His Staff to Take Questions from Patch Readers

Patch is getting direct access to President Barack Obama and his staff. How, you may ask?

The White House has asked Patch to extend an invitation to our readers to submit questions to the president and his administration. The White House will pick the five best questions from across the country and a member of the administration will provide a video response. This is an unprecedented opportunity for Oswego residents to have their voices heard in the highest corridors of power. I suggest we take it.

All you have to do is provide the following:

• Name of person submitting question
• City, State
• Twitter handle of submitter (if applicable)
• Your question

You can add them to our comment section or send them directly to steven.jack@patch.com. The deadline is 6 a.m. tomorrow, Wednesday, Jan 25. It's not often the average citizen gets a chance to speak truth to power. Let's seize the day.
