I just received this email from the Obama folks asking for donations to support their transition team's efforts. I think it is important that a large number of citizens support this effort to show that the Obama administration is not in the pocket of big corporations and lobbyists. A small contribution of $25 from millions of us will be a strong message of hope for the people of this country. How about giving them $25 (or more, if you can do it) to send this message of citizen-sponsored government? Just click on the link below. Thanks for all you do.
The Obama-Biden Transition Project is a nonpartisan entity whose purpose is to facilitate the transition to a new government and prepare for the next administration.
In the past, efforts like these have often been very secretive and funded by the D.C. lobbying and corporate community.
But, like in the campaign, we've decided to do things differently.
For the first time, transition efforts won't be financed with donations from Washington lobbyists and PACs -- which means we'll need to keep asking for your help. Your generosity during the campaign helped get us here, but building a more transparent and open government means continuing to rely on a broader group of people to do this the right way.
We only have a few weeks to assess the state of the federal agencies, prepare our agenda, and staff key positions in the new administration. Your support right now will be crucial to helping us accomplish these goals.
Will you help support the urgent mission of our transition team with a donation of $25 or more?
