The Citizen's Briefing Book is a section of Change.gov, an online website that the Obama administration will maintain. The Citizen's Briefing Book attempts to give the masses the power to share ideas with the president. The website allows anyone to sign up to suggest ideas and issues and rank the ideas of others. As expected, many of the issues include the usual "stupidity in masses" mentality seen frequently online. However, there are a few gems hidden among the trash.
Most of the ideas in The Citizen's Briefing Book are fairly fiscally wasteful and some are very socially conservative as well. I hope that the general public will hear about the website soon, allowing for possibility of diversifying the idea spectrum. I encourage everyone to sign up for the Citizen's Briefing Book and vote up or add issues that matter, but please do not vote on issues when you are not well-informed.
