On Change.gov, the Obama transition team site, there is an area where people can ask questions or vote up the ones they like the best. A question CODEPINK is asking that is especially important follows:
President-Elect Obama, you were elected in large part because of your promise to end the War in Iraq. Will you sit down with leaders of the peace movement to talk about bringing our troops home?
Here's how you can vote up the question. (Instructions adopted from CODEPINK email.)
1. Go to the Change.gov Open for Questions page
2. Sign In to your Change.gov account or register if you don't have one.
3. Search for the questions using the keyword: peacevoter
4. Vote by hitting the checkmark next to the question
After voting, you can submit your own question for Obama.
It sounds like the questions will be closed soon, so please don't put this one off.
Just put my votes in on all 4 "peace" questions.
By the way, Happy New Year!
Done!
Here's the lead question if you click on "Additional Issues" under "Pick a Topic:"
"Will you appoint a Special Prosecutor - ideally Patrick Fitzgerald - to independently investigate the gravest crimes of the Bush Administration, including torture and warrantless wiretapping?"
We need to beat that drum often and loud.
Thanks so much for the tip on the "Change.Gov" forum.
