Obama “Change is Coming” House Meetings

Dec 9, 2008

President-elect Barack Obama wants to hear from you about your ideas for change. In addition to the website posts at www.change.gov, there is another format for participation. On December 13 and 14 people will be hosting “Change is Coming” house meetings to reflect on what has been accomplished and to plan the future of this change movement. Ideas and feedback will be collected and used to guide the administration in the months and years ahead.
