Obama’s campaign staff developed a strong Web presence throughout his run for the presidency, and now President-Elect Barack Obama (oh, that’s fun to type!) has launched Change.gov to make for a smooth internet transition to the White House.  The site, complete with a countdown to the inauguration, allows you to learn more about the presidential team and policies, follow the transitional process to Pennsylvania Ave, and share  your ideas.

Just as the previous site helped galvanize supporters (and raise a pretty penny), the new one will hopefully encourage people to increase their involvement in the political process, as well as offer transparency and a platform to make your voice heard.  The website invites the public to share their stories and visions and learn about volunteer and employment opportunities.  Obama and Biden certainly face many challenges in the years to come, they could sure use all the help they can get.

takepart by sharing your vision of a better world with President-Elect Obama.
