This January 21, President Barack Obama will be inaugurated to his second term as President of the United States. Congresswoman Karen Bass is holding a online contest where you can submit an essay or video about what President Obama means to you and your community and what you’d like to see him accomplish in his second term. Bass will post the essays and videos so the public can vote for winners to receive a pair of seated tickets to the inauguration ceremony. In addition, Congresswoman Bass will take the winners out to breakfast with her and help get tours of various federal building and museums in Washington, DC.
"Back in 2009, I was honored to attend the President’s Inauguration and let me tell you—it was one of the most amazing, hopeful and inspirational events I have experienced," says Congresswoman Bass. "Now as a Member of Congress, I have the opportunity to help others experience this historic event. This is an opportunity of a lifetime and I look forward to hearing your thoughtful entries."
