Ideas for Change in America

For several weeks now, change.org has been running a competition called "Ideas for Change in America" in response to Barack Obama’s call for increased citizen involvement in government. "Legalize the Medical and Recreational Use of Marijuana" is currently the top-rated idea.

The competition, which is now in its final round of voting, allows anyone to post an idea to the organization’s Web site and vote on ideas that matter to them. When voting ends on January 15, the top 10 ideas will be presented to President-elect Obama at an event at the National Press Club in Washington. Change.org will work with organizations like MPP to create plans for implementing the top 10 ideas and will likely receive a slew of press when voting closes.

Please head over to change.org and vote for the ideas you want to see represented.
