Dear Friends of Peace:
President Obama has created a personal website asking the public "How can we strengthen our democracy and promote efficiency and effectiveness by making government more transparent, participatory, and collaborative?" Someone submitted a Department of Peace idea. There are only 95 votes. I just received an email that the contest rules had changed and this brainstorming session won't end until June 19th. I think whatever we can do to stay on President Obama and his staff's radar will help the entire movement! Whether this idea has anything to do with open government, it's still a chance to bring DOP information straight to the top.
With your help back in January, the "Department of Peace" idea was voted as one of the 10 top "Ideas for Change in America" and was given to President Obama's transition team 4 days before the Inauguration. I think his staff was inspired by the old COMPLETED contest on Change.org because the new contest below, is identical. Very interesting! Would you be willing to take a minute or two and click the link below to vote?
