Looks like idea time is over, and the top 10 are posted. I noticed they put them in no particular order probably because... OURS WAS NUMBER 1!!! Woo hoo, 19,000 something votes and the most any of the other 9 ideas recieved was 14,???. They'll have to respond favorably to this, Obama may not be in favor and may not want legalization, but it is not for him to chose, it is we the people...

Isn't that pathetic though?
How many people in this country and the largest number on anything was 19,000? What the fuck?
That's not even a fraction of the population giving a damn enough about anything to take 10 minutes on a computer to help decide the direction this country should go in on a single thing. Not even to just bitch about the economy etc?
Even when it's all falling apart at the seams?
Fuck...

Here is what happened:
Change.org presents Obama Transition Team with its Ideas for Change in America
There are four days until the Inauguration, and the country is alight with excitement, not just about the arrival of Barack Obama in the White House but also for the beginning of a new era of civic engagement.
We've tapped into this energy with our Ideas for Change in America, and today we held a press event at the National Press Club in Washington DC to announce the winners of the competition. The 10 winning ideas reflect the diverse interests of the millions of people calling for change across the country, and include ideas for securing universal heath care, LGBT rights, and sustainable green energy. All winning ideas can be viewed at www.change.org/ideas.
The winning ideas were accepted on behalf of the Presidential Transition Team by Macon Phillips, the Director of New Media and the person who oversees our second-favorite website, Change.gov. Macon then addressed the attendees of the event, which included nonprofit leaders and grassroots activists, and spoke about the importance the administration will place on citizen-driven efforts like Ideas for Change.
With almost 8,000 ideas, more than 600,000 votes, and more than 175,000 participants, the Ideas for Change initiative has shown the widespread interest across the country in renewed civic participation and direct engagement in policymaking. And this is just the beginning. Starting next week, each winning idea will be paired up with a sponsoring nonprofit, which will begin a national campaign to translate each into actual policy. We'll be documenting the process here at Change.org, so look out for more from us soon.
As the nation gears up for next week's inauguration -- and a potentially record turnout to watch it unfold in Washington -- our bloggers are busy assessing George Bush's legacy, anticipating Barack Obama's future, and reacting to the actions of a swiftly moving Congress:
Barack Obama, Feminist
This month the ür-feminist magazine Ms. Magazine featured an image of Barack Obama wearing a shirt bearing the phrase "This is what a feminist looks like." Do you agree? Women's Rights blogger Jen Nedeau certainly does, but, as Jen describes, others aren't so pleased.
Character Education
Transforming the classroom into a sweatshop for a day in order to create an environment of "Simulated Trauma" is something the textbooks can't teach. Education blogger Clay Burrell weighs the pro and cons of teaching controversial but important subjects.
Bush's Katrina Defense
In the final press conference of his presidency, George Bush defended his Administration's response to Hurricane Katrina and claimed the reconstruction of New Orleans is moving right along. But Poverty blogger Leigh Graham offers up a laundry list of Bush's major offenses in hampering a full and equitable recovery of the Gulf Coast, particularly for its lowest-income residents, who were hardest hit by the storm.
Do Charities Help?
The biggest mystery lurking in the depths of the nonprofit sector these days is the murky question of measurement: how do we know if charities have an impact? Frankly, writes Social Entrepreneurship guest blogger Jason Saul, with $1 trillion at stake in the nonprofit sector, measurement is a Loch Ness monster that must be slayed.
Climate Leadership Now
Thanks to the stars aligning under Barack Obama's leadership, Global Warming blogger Emily Gertz sees 2009 as a unique opportunity to make international progress towards zero emissions in 2050, forging a consensus to tackle climate change once and for all.
Next week we'll be covering our hopes for how the Obama Administration might address the major issues our country faces, cause by cause. We look forward to including your hopes and to start the process of collectively enacting the change that so many of us seek.
Happy weekend,
- The Change.org Team

Marijuana legalization is the highest voted but is that really a serious priority to over 19,000 people? ideas pertaining to health care and help funding college didn't receive that kind of recognition. I for one would rather see topics like that receiving 19,000 votes...
