What are you saying at change.gov?

President-elect Obama's transition website features a "Your Vision" page--a kind of e-suggestion box that allows visitors to comment on the issues they'd like addressed and policies they'd like enacted. Sadly, whoever's in charge of the site isn't sharing the postings with the readership. However, Colorado member John Russell emailed us about a comment he left: "In Antonia Juhasz' excellent book The Bush Agenda she writes that the 1907 Hague Convention prohibits the creation by occupying powers of any permanent change in the government of the occupied territory. She lists many examples of violations of that Convention by the current U. S. administration in Iraq. Please, do whatever is possible to reverse this situation in Iraq, so that the Iraqi people can have real democracy."

If you've left a comment on the change.gov site, feel free to let us know in the comments section what you said.
