The President-elect wants to hear from you.

As the transition team ramps things up...they are wanting to hear anyone who wants to share their story and what issues are important to them...express a point-of-view on an agenda...apply for a job...

Best Thing About That

Go to the jobs section and scroll down to the bottom:

The Obama-Biden Transition Project does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, or any other basis of discrimination prohibited by law.

Sufficed to say, that was not the policy of the current administration. Pretty great way to start out.

A Change

Make adoption legal in Florida and Arizona. Gays who raise children turn out much better than expected.

finally!

he wants to hear from me - I've been trying to reach him for months.  (Barack, why haven't you returned my calls?)

President Elect Obama - I thank you for the spirit and hope and optimism you've returned to this country, even before you've taken office.  The past 8 yrs have been some seriously dark times for most of us - thank you for destroying Mordor. But that's only the first step.

I beg you, please order investigations into the activities of the Bush Administration.  We need bipartisanship and goodwill, but we also needs answers and accountability.  If there were indeed crimes committed by Sauron.... I mean, Cheney & Bush, they need to be held accountable.  And Republicans always talk about the need for "personal responsibility," so they should be supportive of your efforts in this area. 

I'd also ask you to reconsider your last vote on FISA.  Indeed, revisit the entire issue of wireless wiretapping.

That's all.  I know you're busy with your transition right now - best of luck with that.  I also congratulate you on your pick of Rahm Emanuel.  The man gets shit done, 'nuff said.

Best,


Zee
