Add your voice to encourage President-Elect Obama to inspire a new era of service on January 20th
ServeNext is colecting signatures to tell President-Elect Obama to make a bold call to service in his Inauguration Address.
It is a joint campaign in partnership with many organizations in the national service field.
It took me 2 seconds- here is the link:

Here is some background on ServeNext.org:
ServeNext is a growing community working to address the problems facing National Service: inadequate public leadership causing the budget cuts and insufficient public demand of our leaders to do anything about it.
The solution is to unite citizens' voices and energy to help make National Service a national priority. When AmeriCorps alumni, service leaders, teachers, college students, and concerned citizens add their voices to the ServeNext community of advocates, together, we can put National Service atop our country's to-do list.
ServeNext is uniting, training, and mobilizing National Service supporters across the country to take action in their communities.

Many candidates are building an online presence, so if you're interested in having your say in who should be Secretary of Education, start by monitoring education blogs and posting your opinions. Decision makers DO watch reactions to bloggers. Start with The New York Times, Education Week, and Gotham Schools. Also, make your presence known on the President-Elect's sites: the community blogs and Change.gov
What my kids can learn from Newton and November 4

Today we learned about force. That in Newton's first law of motion. That an object at rest will stay at rest. And that an object in motion will stay in motion. Right now, our country, our world is stuck in a crisis. Our economy on the brink of collapse, the climate crisis and a divided nation.
The Final Sprint--How You Can Still Get Involved

Election day is almost here. All the commercials, robocalls, debates, and doorknocks all come down to this. If you find that your candidates are ahead in the polls, remember, none of it matters unless the people who answered those polls actually go out and vote.
So, with lessons from the past still fresh in the memories on both sides, Democrats and Republicans are embarking on a massive Get Out the Vote (GOTV) drive. Campaigns are won and lost with GOTV drives--really effective ones can swing an entire race. In fact, this year GOTV efforts are going on prior to Election Day, in states with early voting.
