Create Scholarships in Technical Fields
Too much of our government money is going to support people being educated in fields that do not support the technological advancement of human existence. While we certainly need people to study a diverse set of fields, and even a few lawyers, our education system is not set up to provide incentives for people to pursue careers in engineering and the sciences. We need to encourage our smartest people to study these subjects. We need to make them desirable. Scholarships for students that choose those fields at the undergraduate and graduate level, and high school "scholarships" to allow more qualified…

Ensure all K - 12 public classrooms have 1 cpu w/ internet
Every K - 12 public school classroom in our country should have at least one reliable computer with internet access. All teachers should be trained in how to use the computer and one hour of the weekly student curriculum should include computer/internet training. Every state should create a new office charged with developing the computer/internet curriculum and overseeing installation/maintenance of the classroom equipment.

Let all citizens vote on congressional bills
The CTO should create a website where all pending legislation is posted. Then citizens could review bills and vote on whether they think it would be good for themselves and theirs neighbors.
This information would then be shown online in real time allowing congressional representatives to see how their constituents feel about a given bill.
This would inherently let our elected officials know how we feel on any given issue or bill.

National web archive for all US citizens
It would be nice for the US government to provide a national archive for all US citizens. The idea is always with the individual, and the US government could provide the capacity for all US citizens to make a statement either identified or anonymously to preserve for posterity.
This system could also include a federal ID system which could assist with on-line voting, etc. I have always felt that I would rather trust the US gov't. with a digital verification certificate instead of a private company.3 votes -
Protecting Children on the Internet
Millions of children use the internet daily and it is important for the Obama CTO to protect all children. Everyone can agree that the number of internet predators are increasing at an alarming rate. As the CTO for the country he/she should address this issue.

Disable the warrantless wiretapping infrastructure
We never should make it easy for a wiretap to be put in place, because that only leads to telecommunication industry insider abuse. Wiretaps should be at least as hard to set up as they are to apply for from a judge -- and those should be the only wiretaps.

Teach effective coping skill to American children.
The mass media is counter-productive to the health of society. America is sick and the people don't understand how to cope with stress.
Video games continue to teach children to kill their enemies instead of confronting and coping with stress. At the same time the mass media exalts the shooters with the most kills (just like video games). Americans can't comprehend how much this affects them. Nor will they listen, feel free to ignore this suggestion because you're stupid.
Wake up people, you are unable to comprehend what is about to happen to this country if you continue to…

support the creation of tools for americans not against us!
The use of technology to spy on and intimidate American citizens is unconscionable. We should support the creation and distribution of tools and technology that empower American citizens to:
Educate themselves however they wish.
Protect their own privacy against powerful institutions and each other.
Eliminate dangerously high levels of Government privacy against our curiosity and need to be informed.
Join together their voices, votes, and money to change their communities.3 votes -

Fund individuals reasearching school shooting prevention
The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention is a failure; the mental health system is a failure. All current measures taken to PREVENT shooting sprees, SCHOOL SHOOTINGS and suicides are failing horribly.
Support http://www.z-tron.com financially and MrZtron's I.C.A.P.S. procedure. If society continues to ignore the truth, modern day tragedies will increase astronomically.

Annual Half Billion Green Energy Comptetion for Universities
The greatest wealth the government can acquire is intellectual property which benefits the whole of society when it is free and open. I believe that the U.S. Government should hold a contest for the best technological innovation in renewable, clean, green energy production. Submissions are made not by individuals or companies but by colleges and university teams competing for a prize of 500 million dollars for their endowment funds. The government in return would gain the intellectual property right for the winning design/process. Imagine M.I.T., Stanford, Cal Berkley, Harvard, battling it out for a huge addition to their endowments. In…

eliminate the BCS and implement a college football playoff
the BCS is a biased and unfair system to determine which is the best football team in college football. we waste immeasurable time, energy, and bandwidth complaining, debating or hyping who should be #1. use diplomacy and creativity to develop a playoff system that is fair and ethical so that the true #1 is determined on the playing field.

Create a government info site.
Documented in a user friendly way in which every cent you spend and every law you enact is publicized and explained in a user friendly way format similar to that of wikipedia or other web 2.0 sites in which comments are permitted and encouraged. This would create "civic initiative" and get everyone involved in their democracy.
