President-elect is required to read "Grapes of Wrath" by pulitzer prize winning author John Steinbeck.

It is important for the leader of the free world to understand his constituents. This book was noted for Steinbeck's passionate depiction of the plight of the poor and should be read by the future president, and his staff, so he may empathize with the people who need the most help. Grapes of Wrath is not only renowned for is depiction of the poor but also criticizes the policies which caused their plight. It is no secret how the President-elect campaigned on the issues of immigration, religion, and health care but still shows ignorance about how they affect the lives of people every day. This petition is not meant to change the future president's political views but only to aid him when making future decisions as the leader of the free world.
