Dear Karen,
62 days. That's how much time we have left to prepare for the Obama-Biden
Administration that will bring the change Americans demanded so strongly in
this past election.
President-elect Obama has set a high bar for the Transition team: to
execute the most efficient, organized, and transparent transfer of power in
American history. As a co-Chair for the Transition, I want to tell you
about a few steps we've already taken to achieve this goal.
First, we adopted the strictest ethics guidelines ever applied to any
transition team. President-elect Obama pledged to change the way Washington
works, and that begins with shifting influence away from special interests
and restoring it to the everyday Americans who are passionate about fixing
the problems facing our country.
Opening up the Transition means listening to your ideas and stories and
providing a window into how the process works.
To give you a look at how we're approaching some of the nation's most
pressing issues, we filmed this meeting of our Energy and Environment
Policy Transition Team and interviewed team member Heather Zichal.
Watch
the video and submit your ideas on energy and the environment:
President-elect Obama and Vice President-elect Biden have set an ambitious
agenda, and we are going to make Change.gov
a source of information, as well as a place to participate in the decisions
being made about your government.
Since the decisions we're making affect all Americans, we're counting on
citizens from every walk of life to get involved. You can help us right now
by making sure your friends and neighbors know about Change.gov
and give their input, too.
We're continuing to develop new ways to open up the process, and we'll keep
you posted along the way.
Thanks,
John
John Podesta
Obama-Biden Presidential Transition Team
