Childhood Cancer at Change.gov

Good morning! Every once in a while there is a great opportunity to make a worthwhile difference in the lives of others. Thanks to Bob Piniewski a father of another child with cancer we have a great opportunity to have the voices of children with cancer heard. This is your opportunity to make a difference. And it costs you nothing but about 1 minute of your time. I know, I did it.

From the Change.gov website:
"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."
Bob got an early start. Right now "Increased Funding for Childhood Cancer" is the #2 rated idea. Close your eyes and imagine this: Obama walks into the Oval Office and settles in on January 26th. He is handed The Citizen's Briefing Book - outlining the issues facing the new administration. He opens it up. The first issue facing the new administration is "Increased Funding for Childhood Cancer". There are over 500 comments and stories for him to read.

Can any human being see that and read that and not do something about it?
  1. Go to http://citizensbriefingbook.change.gov/home
  2. Sign in.
  3. search for "Increased Funding for Childhood Cancer"
  4. Go to the answer with the most comments. Vote it up.

If you have another moment, leave your story in the comments. Invite him to the CureSearch Milestone Walk June 21, 2009 in Washington DC.
