"Immigration reform. It's important because it's something we have to address. Currently we skirt around the issue."
Sandra Falwell, 67, a nurse from Clinton, Md.
"The Affordable Care Act is not what it needs to be. We need single-payer."
Bobbie Singh-Allen, president of Elk Grove school board in Sacramento County, Calif.
"I'm a Sikh American. Our community faced a lot of backlash in a post-9/11 world…. We need to do more to educate."
Chinyere Nnodim-Jack, small-business owner from Patterson, Calif.
"The issue of healthcare is something we need to talk about … people shouldn't be afraid of going to the hospital."
Caitlin Lister, 31, chief of staff to the Idaho Senate’s minority caucus
“Guantanamo Bay…. Honestly, I don't think it should be open anymore. I believe when President Obama ran for office that was something he wanted to get done in the first 100 days, and it has not happened yet. I would have liked to see that."
Chris Babbidge, retired teacher from Kennebunk, Maine
“I think the biggest problem has been an obstructionist Congress…. There's a lot of unfinished business, but part of it is because Obama entered the presidency in crisis.”
