From the Change.gov website, for President-Elect Obama, they have a "briefing book." It is described below...
"Share your ideas on any issue facing the new administration, then rate or comment on other ideas. The best rated ideas will rise to the top -- and be gathered into a Citizen's Briefing Book to be delivered to President Obama after he is sworn in."
A friend has presented the following issue on the briefing book website: "Make the deadliest of all cancers, LUNG CANCER, history! "
Her comments are eloquent as are the comments of the people who have cast a vote for this cause so far.
Now we need YOU to go to this site and vote for it. You can copy and paste this note and email all your friends to vote for it, too. Ideas have to be the best rated to make it in the book that the President-elect receives.
You do need to register at the site but it only takes a minute to register. If you can't find the issue after you register, type "lung cancer" in the search box and it will come up.
Keep in mind, people can also vote it down, so we need to get plenty of affirmative votes. You may also vote down those that may be lower priorities for you, giving you "double" power to help this one surface...Can you help? It's easy...the briefing is at:
