Dear All,

This is a really good cause. It is in the top of ideas for which Obama will

address in the coming year. A member actually helped get the

ball rolling on this. (don't have permission to give name).

But...it needs 9 more votes according to the website. See below. The

medical whistleblower orgs are supporting this, too.

VOTE Please!!

Sharon, your going to have to guid me like a child. In vein I have searched,

looked and tried to find her idea. I have talked to her before and am certain I

would agree and yes, I will vote but I am a lost puppy. I cannot find it or

figure it out. If you can make this a task I can complete I will. I know I am

sounding " dumbed down " but I am...

 

Any help would be appritiated.

Christ, First you have to register and they will send you an email confirming

your email address. After you get your confirmation email, log onto the site

home page. Then look way over to the right side and click on " Ideas " for their

list of ideas already submitted. Then you will get a list of ideas. You may

vote for more than one but if you vote for ones above 'End Corporate Rule " , etc.

it may pull it down. Anyway, you can click on " most popular " and it will line

ideas up by amount of votes they had and go down the list and you'll see it. If

you are signed in, all you have to do is 'click on' the ideas you like and your

vote is registered. You can't really follow link she gave and vote unless you

are registered and then sign in. This topic is not far down on list. I was

disappointed to see some of the topics that are getting the most votes, like

legalize marjuana, which I agree with, and forgive student loans (they are such

low interest loans and kids have to get off to a good start of realizing when

they borrow, they need to pay back - responsibility), and because there are such

graver matters that young people are not yet aware of, and obviously more young

voters which is disppointing but I will forward to my 'older friends' and hope

to get some other topics voted on. For example, I really was hoping to see

making election have to be funded by citizens like Barak's campaign was make the

top 10. That takes all those lobbiest and corporate money out of the process.

Then there is less reason for Congressmen to be doing the bidding of companies,

if their campaign funds had to come from individual citizens. I thought that

was a winner, and also topic Sharon gave link to. We also need REAL scientist,

not scientist who just came from the oil business or pharmaceutical business

that have a loyalty to corporations and don't really perform real science

anymore. Consider what that would do for things like cancer research.

Of course Obama got young people enthusiastic about government but ultimately

young people will be less affected by the severe economic downturn. Yes, they

may take longer to find a job, but they can stay with Mom and Dad a bit longer.

It is older americans who have lost their life savings, middle aged Americans

who have lost their homes and people who are sick who have no health insurance

and could become homeless on top of that, etc. Anyway, I will forward issues

and hope some people my age vote. It looks like it goes on until the 15th but

you have to get ideas in so people have time enough to vote on them. Otherwise

good ideas won't have the time to get enough votes to make it to top 10.

I hope my vote is counted and my comment added. I followed instructions

and registered and them made my comment. After clicking post it

disappears and I did it twice, and you can't copy and paste. Also I

hope everyone also posted something at the health site where Sen. Tom

Daschle, is asking Americans to share their health care concerns and

experiences ---
