ww.change.gov and www.change.org


http://www.change.gov/ and http://www.change.org/

By chance I entered http://www.change.org/ in my effort to go to the Obama page on http://www.change.gov/. It was a pleasant surprise.

Change.org is a well-designed and powerful website that provides an international network for social action. One of its features is the invitation for ideas for the new administration, the most voted ones of which will be presented at Inauguration Day and pursued after that with the hundreds of non-profits affiliated with the website.

I accepted the invitation and presented 4 ideas for the Obama Administration. 1. transformation of the IMF and the World Bank (listed earlier on this blog); 2. Obama becoming the Sustainable Communities Organizer in Chief; 3. Earth Charter values-based planning; 4. the ITTS Initiative of $300 billion 15 year integrated transportation program.

The more people read the ideas and vote for them, the stronger they become for presentation to the Obama Administration. Happy reading and voting!!
