President Obama delivers his State of the Union address on Tuesday at 9 p.m. Eastern.

He's got a stack of memos from policy experts here at the White House.

We wanted help from another set of experts, so we asked you to help us draft a different kind of memo to the President. More than 20,000 of you have weighed in so far.

This is what you told us.

“Anyone who works for a living should not be forced into poverty.”

FRANK from Fort Mill, SC

“Today's job market is changing quickly and our traditional education system isn't preparing graduates to enter the field. Training Americans with skills for good jobs will not only help individuals make a better life for themselves, but will also help the American economy.”

KRISTA from Cathedral City, CA

“Roads, bridges and schools need to be maintained and upgraded. These shovel-ready jobs are a necessity.”

GERALD from Coppell, TX

“The more renewable energy we produce, the more money stays in our country/region.This is helpful for our regional economies, as we often can produce local energy and create local jobs and reduce the transportation needs for distributing energy.”

TED from Washburn, WI
