Atheist Nexus

The World’s Largest Coalition of Nontheists and Nontheist Communities!

I regularly receive e-mails from Obama's office as I am sure do all of his supporters. Recently I received an invitation to contribute my expectations of his Presidency at http://citizensbriefingbook.change.gov. The promise is that the most popular ideas (which have been "voted up" by other registered visitors) will be delivered to the President in the form of a "citizens' briefing".

I was pleasantly surprised to see quite a few postings calling for separation of church and state in various ways, pretty much all of them with a positive point balance (which means they have been "voted up" by more people than those who "voted them down"). The calls for national prayers and such all seemed to have distinctly negative balances. Maybe I don't read online enough due to lack of time but I did not expect that...

I looked through the "Most popular ideas", i.e. those suggestions which have earned the most points so far. One of the separation of Church and State ideas had around 9,000 points - only half as much as the highest scoring ones (legalizing marijuana among them) but, thankfully, twice as much as disclosing information about UFOs :-)

To cut the long story short, may I suggest that interested fellow skeptics sign in to http://citizensbriefingbook.change.gov and vote the relevant ideas up? The point balance goes up 10 points if you choose to "vote up" and goes down 10 points if you choose to "vote down".
