We at StarChild Science do not expect you candidates to know how to debate science issues, a subject you know very little about. However, we do want you to be up front with us and realize you must rely on the science community in a much different manner than has been done in past administrations. No more Science Advisers please! Instead, what is needed is already in place in such communities as NASA where a diverse group of scientists and engineers created by individuals who have their heart and sole in science (i.e. science organizations), not politics, work together to reach various goals. At the present time we are facing sudden climate changes, an energy crisis and health care conditions that must be addressed by such a community. The goals that must be considered by this group of scientists include: monitor and/or create industries with environment friendly practices and methods so as to not contribute to global warming, create a health care system that works for everyone and doesn't have to be discussed by political candidates every four years because the health care system being used still isn't working, create a warning system that prepares our citizens to seek shelter early before hurricanes and tornadoes appear in nascent neighborhoods and ravage properties, create an educational system that teaches our children, beginning at age 5, nature's ways and gives them the tools to become responsible citizens who are going to be electing individuals into office who don't have to debate science issues because these issues will be addressed by a diverse group of scientists and engineers, the members of which have been carefully chosen by scientific organizations.
