The
U.S. Constitution calls for the president
to give to the
Congress information of the State of the Union, and
recommend to
their consideration such measures as he shall judge
necessary and
expedient. As the president prepares his State of the Union
speech, Bernies
annual essay contest asks Vermonts high school
students to
write an essay detailing their view of the state of the union.
During the past
three years, more than 850 students from schools
throughout
Vermont wrote essays about a range of important issues, including:
climate change,
the declining middle class, health care reform, and
the rising cost
of a college education. We need our young people to be
engaged, to help
find solutions for the problems that confront us,
Bernie said. |
