Podesta invites us to have a say in our energy and environment policies
This is the email I received from him:

Dear Lunatica,

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
