Your hopes and dreams for the 44th President
During the month of December, Capital Public Radio and the Sacramento News & Review embarked on a joint project offering our listeners and readers a rare opportunity. We invited you to write a letter to Barack Obama. Our goal was to solicit thoughtful, personal letters expressing hopes and dreams, not political punditry. In return for your submissions, we promised to forward them directly to the White House. The SN&R would publish some of them in a special January 15th issue, and all of the letters would be posted online at newsreview.com. Plus, Capital Public Radio would select five to feature during Morning Edition in the days leading up to the Inauguration.
Thanks to all who participated in the project! You can hear the letters read by their authors by clicking on the links below. And be sure to visit the SN&R's special web site devoted to the project.
