As Seen On TV: America's Messages for New President

Dec. 22, 2008— -- If you could send a message to President-elect Obama, what would it be?

Last March, 32-year-old B.J. Hill left his teaching job in Boston to walk across the country and ask Americans that very question. Beginning his journey at San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge with a notebook and camera in hand, he has captured snapshots in time and documented what's on the minds of Americans to give to the president-elect.

Hill, stopping in coffee shops and diners, gathered messages for the next president in three leather-bound journals. The entries, which cover wide ground, are fragments of American lives, and share what's on the mind of Americans.

Hill's goal is to present his three journals to Obama. If you have a message or any words of wisdom for the president-elect, weigh in, share your message for him here, and we'll pass them on to B.J. Hill.
