Here's a chance for EVERYONE to vote for what you would like to see in America!


Change.org

The Ideas for Change in America competition was created in response to Barack Obama's call for increased citizen involvement in government. The final round of voting began on January 5 and is comprised of the top 3 rated ideas from each of the 30 issues in the first round of the competition, which collectively received more than 250,000 votes.

The top 10 rated ideas from the final round will be presented to the Obama administration on January 16th at an event at the National Press Club in Washington, DC, co-hosted by the Case Foundation.

im not saying things were better or worse before Castro was in power... its impossible to know what the future holds...

i do however think it says allot about a country where people are willing to try and escape across (what is it about 90 miles? ) of open water to escape a country...

90% of the "ideas" on that site sounded like they were suggested by a 10th grade just-turned-vegetarian because-of-PETA-propaganda myspace whore.

Black reparations to stimulate the economy. It will save the american auto industry because theyll all buy caddies. Giving money to white people is stupid because all they do is pay bills with it.

I wrote a mini essay on why dueling should be legal but done in a setting like an arena or stadium so you can sell tickets to make bank and also make sure that it is fair.
