Fw: Last day to vote!

[Guest guest]

The last day of voting for the Ideas for Change in America competition is tomorrow, Thursday January 15th! On Friday we will present the top 10 ideas to the Obama administration at the National Press Club in Washington, DC. We'll then connect the winning ideas to leading nonprofits and launch a series of national advocacy campaigns to turn each idea into federal policy.

You have voted for the following 10 ideas:

Legalize the Medicinal and Recreational Use of Marijuana (1st Place)Health Freedom IS Our First Freedom (4th Place)Develop & Implement a National Strategy for Sustainability (10th Place)Forgive Student Loans: Stimulate the Middle and Lower Middle Class (11th Place)Bridging the Empathy Gap - Yes We Can! (12th Place)Appoint a Special Prosecutor for the Crimes of the Bush Administration (14th Place)ReBuild and RePower America with a Green Stimulus Package. (17th Place)END CORPORATE "PERSONHOOD" (19th Place)Move the country toward transparent election systems (37th Place)Interactive Government (72nd Place)

You can help support this idea by forwarding this email to friends or posting links to your favorite ideas on sites like Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, or any blog you might write.

We started the Ideas for Change in America initiative in the hope that we could translate the energy behind the Obama election into a citizen-led movement for change around the major issues we face. With over 500,000 votes thus far, each of you has helped deliver a clear message to the Obama administration that the American people want to participate in their own government again.

For that, we thank you. And we can't wait to work with each of you to continue this momentum after the competition ends.

In the meantime, best of luck for each of the ideas you support!
