#askInternet The digital era continues to further marginalize communities of color, almost everyone I know, (including myself) find themselves as digital nomads due to the high cost of broadband; a communication system we use for health, economic opportunities, school work, research, radio, accessing government services, participating in democracy, and voicing our opinions. This last example I give because right now, the latino community and the gay community of which I am of both, we are the most targeted groups for hate crimes due to violent targeted speech in media. We need an equal platform to voice these concerns, what does it take to stop the hesitation of the FCC to reclassify the net as a Title II service and live up to your promise of real strong net neutrality across all communications systems utilizing broadband, including our PHONES, which you texted me on in Oct. 2008?

#askcitizenship : President Obama, For years Latin American immigrants have been paying five-hundred dollars or more a year to have a license to drive and a permit to work in this country on top of paying a lawyer and providing paperwork to court to prove that they have been here long enough to get their citizenship papers or green cards. Still the courts present them with nothing. Current citizens of America say that they would all they want is for the illegals to “go back to where they came from wait their turn“, but what about the people that have been struggling for years to be legal in this country and are denied? Why is it that it is up to a judge to say whether you should be legal or not and why does race seem to play a big role in the difficulty? What are your thoughts on this subject and what are you planning to do about it?

#askaboutthe99ers I know several people who've run out of unemployment benefits & still can't find a job due to employer discrimination against them for being unemployed. Some of these folks who voted for you & believed in the change you promised are now on the streets w/ no help in sight. We were forced to bail out Wall St.& the Banks that caused this due to fraud. Is their any bailout in place for the 99ers who want to work but have no prospects? My mother is one of those people. She was fired from her job during her vacation time off that she took to go to your inauguration. It seems due to pressure from the Right that you aren't addressing this issue. Is there any plan in the works to deem this speculation untrue?

#ask Mr. President, can you and the congress look into assisting with college textbook costs? The raised pell grant helped with tuition.. but little left for books, often. Help! They are astronomical in costs.

#comment (regarding the President's comment that 'gay' is not a choice) The President mentioned that we are all children of God; that is exactly why God would not create us with a 'sin' that he hates. He does Not hate his children, but he hates 'sin'. In the Bible, he destroyed an entire city(Sodom) because of this exact issue. In Leviticus 20:13, he calls homosexuality an abomination. It is a lifestyle Choice. I agree that homosexual people shouldn't be harassed, but don't be confused that homosexuality is ok. Also, the American government should Not pass policies that help our Nation participate in the 'sin' of homosexuality. Homosexuality or any sin is a choice for individuals to make or refrain from making.

#ask education.It's a honor to even tweet my question to the most powerful man in the free world. I also have the dream to become president myself one day. President Obama,as you stated how other countries such as Germany, and South Korea are excelling educationally based from the world ranking. Do you think our country should try the same educational laws. For example Germany goes to school two weeks more than we do and theyre performing better than we are. Devin DeFord

#askJob #askEducation What are you going to do for those that graduate from a university, have loans to pay back but cannot find a job? Bankruptcy a) destroys credit and b) does not cover education loans.

#ask home modification Mr. President I own a home I lost my job last year , and unable to find work. I have exhausted all of my savings, and trying to hold on to my house. I recently applied for home modification was denied there reason was that they can't count my unemployment as income. Mr. President my question is where can I go, or what can I do to try and get help with my house modification.

#askHealthcare There is talk about defunding the healthcare law. Is this a legal procedure? What would happen if this is the care? If they are defunding this law, can the law really be adhered too?

JOBS JOBS JOBS? when can i support my family by working not off the states checks? i wanna work but cant?

Please discuss how you are going to address the social and cultural disparities facing African-American and Latino children within the public school system? Faith, morality and good works are an integral part of our communities but the only voice that is being heard is that of educators regarding the ongoing achievement gap of students. Would you want to work hard to succeed if someone was always telling you how bad you were doing? I think our children have a difficult road ahead unless people have the courage to stand up for them. I know you have been very busy Mr. President, but the children can't wait any longer. I am a parent and an advocate and spend the majority of the time disputing extremely biased studies that don't reflect our actual progress or direction. I know what a good education can do for a hungry mind, I know I came out of the public school system with an excellent education. If I remember correctly so did you. Thank you for your time.

#askEconomy What plans/policies/programs do you have that will help people become financially independent? The 'United Way' is a good example of an organization that doesn't just give people a 'handout', but also helps them address the problems behind their circumstances.

#ask education. Good Afternoon, President Obama. My name is Devin DeFord and I'm a recent high school graduate from Maryland. My question to you is, what do you plan on doing to reform the current public education system
