In the past you have done what it takes to meet at times of crisis and found away to convince those involved to take a fresh look at their differences. Yes I am speaking about the historic Beer Summit. While the media may have panned that approach to diplomacy it was creative and effective to say the least.
The time has come for yet another creative and effective approach to consumer confidence. It is my opinion that consumer confidence will improve when high school aged children/students begin to find a compelling and rewarding vision of what could and should exist in their future. While I have to admit that I have a predisposed taste for Coors Lite, I would propose instead that you and I have a “Lets Play Catch Summit”.
I would suggest that it is time to create “now” a level of confidence for our young people forward. While it may be a goal to have all high school graduates to pursue a four year education, the reality is something quite different. I would propose that our “Catch Summit” focus on igniting a grass roots effort at exciting young high school aged children. I would propose a conference on how this could and should be done. Lets not focus on the “why not” or “no way” attitude but rather “how fast”.
I look forward to hearing from you President Obama. I will bring the ball for the summit as we discuss the solutions to the lack of USA confidence among our young Americans.
