Have any of you posted a comment at change.gov?

Click on "tell us your story" in the red section. It goes to the transition team, not to a chatroom, which is refreshing; Bush didn't care what anybody other than a generous CEO donor to the GOP had to say. If they weren't on Ton Delay's rolladex, their concerns were ignored.

Obama has said that he's received more comments about the WH dog than his economic policy. I hope he's joking. In my neck of the woods, we have many many concerns (already registered), and they don't include pets.

1. how much you wanna bet it also goes to the FBI?

5. After 8 years of Bush, don't you think the FBI has more than enough info on us

already? More than they can process, as per the Stasi before the wall came down?

6. I've told my kids to put in some FOI requests to find old FBI pics of mom and dad protesting

. . . when we're gone.

2. Thanks lebkuchen. I have it bookmarked and later on today will tell

them what I think they should be doing about healthcare.

3. That's a good idea, I'll do that also.

[lebkuchen]

4. There are two links: I messed up.

"Post your comment" is for healthcare...a chatroom.

The "Tell us your story" on the right and in the red section, goes to the transition team, I hope and pray.

7. I kinda want to, but I'm on the wrong side of the border (nt)

9. If you're Mexican,

you could request that we return land (several states) to Mexico and insist that the US abide by its treaty to supply Mexico with the previously agreed to amount/quality of Colorado River water. Farmers would then be able to grow crops, and the country would be less dependent on the drug trade. There'd be fewer gang killings in border towns, and tourism would return.

11. Alas, wrong wrong side of the border (nt)

8. I did - about equal rights and a congratulation the morning after the election. nt

10. I have and found that my concerns were addressed.

I'm not saying that they changed policy based on my humble opinions, but Obama has been appointing staff who are more progressive and even named some GLBT members recently. I suggest people use it.

Thanks for the thread.

12. Have you noticed

that when Obama or his choices speak, they sound like they're quoting posts from various websites/blogs? Since they're not extremely busy at the moment other than getting their "ducks in a row," they have time to scope out the web for conventional liberal wisdom. And why shouldn't they. If it weren't for the internet, Obama wouldn't be the next president, imo.

13. I used one of the mirror sites, placebo.gov. n/t
