Patch Readers – The President Will Now Take Your Questions

Norristown Patch is becoming quite the A-list cyber-destination. Two weeks ago we had , and now President Barack Obama wants to get in on the action.

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 provide video responses (though it's still a bit unclear if the answers will come from the President himself.) In any case, this is an unprecedented opportunity for Norristown 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 james.myers@patch.com. The deadline is noon today, Wednesday, Jan 25. It's not often the average citizen gets a chance to speak truth to power. Let's seize the day.

If you're struggling with what to ask, maybe this will help get the civic juices flowing – watch last night's State of the Union address here.
