Yeah, it will work until they get something new. I've known for a long time that I'm not much of an internet navigator. I think I must be related to Amelia Earharts navigator, Fred Noonan. "Just fly, Amelia! I know where we are....now where's that bottle?" Thanks for the link, Joe.

I really liked that change.gov site where people could vote an issue up or down...maybe it's less scientific, but for some reason I liked it better than the current method: Corporate-owned news media polls that framed their poll questions to tilt the response toward the desired feedback.

I see the great ideas, but it looks like they are done taking ideas, comments and votes. Unless that is another glitch with my beta IE 8. Thanks Joe.

Inside the change.gov site, there is a link to the citizens briefing book link...yet another site where they've bundled up all the suggestions from people. And, reading through the suggestions on different topics, there are some really good ideas...posts have a vote up/vote down feature, so you can sort each topic by most popular ideas, and they're really interesting...a great way to tap into the smarts of the population and letting the population have the task of floating the gems to the top of the idea heap and burying their own coal...

For some reason your link still works though. I went to www.whitehouse.gov and found a "briefing room", but nothing like you link. There may be something similar, but I can't find it. Hey Joe,
