Make Your Voice
Heard on Change.gov
There is a new feature on Change.gov that lets you
bring your ideas directly to the President. It's called the Citizen's Briefing
Book, and it's an online forum where you can share your ideas, and
rate or offer comments on the ideas of others. The best-rated ones will rise to
the top, and after the Inauguration, we'll print them out and gather them into a
binder like the ones the President receives every day from experts and advisors.
