identify and research a pressing problem in American Government about which you feel strongly, and come up with a solution

You will identify and research a pressing problem in American Government about which you feel strongly, and come up with a solution. You will then write a letter to one member of the Executive or Legislative Branch who you identify as being able to implement the solution; his/her email or mailing address must be included in the letter. Your letter should explain the problem, provide evidence of the existence and scope of the problem, and propose a real solution. The letter should be approximately 1-2 pages single-spaced (12 point font with 1” margins).
Your paper must include:
• Evidence: You will identify a problem, and provide evidence of the existence and extent of the problem.
• Solution: No magic bullets! When you identify the problem, you need to come up with a real solution- how will it be implemented? What path through the federal government will it take?
• Sources: You need at least 3 sources (and more are certainly encouraged).
They should be high-quality sources- peer-reviewed journals, scholarly books, newspapers of record, reliable websites, and not Wikipedia! All of your sources must be cited via in-text citations- you may use parenthetical, footnote, or endnote format, but you must cite every piece of information you quote or paraphrase.
