#DearPOTUS 2016: What do you want President Obama to do in his final year?

The president will deliver his final State of the Union address this week; what do you want on his agenda for 2016?

A week after his emotional press conference announcing a series of executive orders intended to help reduce gun violence, President Barack Obama will outline his political agenda Tuesday in his eighth, and final, State of the Union address to Congress. 

The fallout from the announcement of the executive order is expected to grab most of the media's attention, but Obama is also expected to push several other legislative items, including renewing his call to raise the minimum wage, outlining a way to help overhaul the criminal justice system and urging Congress to pass the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement.

But what do you want the president's priorities to include?
