Transition: The Mission
Now that Barack Obama has been elected President of the United States, we can move Defend Your Vote.com in the direction of transition. We will begin to explore the records and ideologies of President Elect Obama’s cabinet picks, and report back to our readers the information we discover. We will begin by exploring the issues, and begin the discussion of the American people’s mandate to become a country that once again is the will of the people.
DefendYourVote.com’s Focus:
Media Watch: DefendYourVote.com will continue to watch the media and post the stories that are off base, out of touch, and just plain wacky. We will also post stories that are spot on and speak to the important matters of transition. These could be stories from the Main Stream Media or articles and diary posts from other websites.
Must Read Op-Ed’s: Angelina will continue to post the opinions and editorials that are focused on the two biggest issues facing the United States – the economy and transition analysis.
Foreign Relation: Simon J. will post articles of interest, analysis, and exploration of how other nations respond to President-Elect Obama, his cabinet, transition, and the general view of how American policy affects the rest of the world.
Breaking News: This section will concentrate on issues (both American and worldly) that should be highlighted and stand out from the rest of the ‘daily news’ cycle.
Keep in mind, as we move through transition and eventually Inauguration Day, the site will become more centered and focused. Our goal after Inauguration is to be an “issues” oriented site. Government must remain governed by its citizenry. Although, Barack Obama received a mandate to govern, his campaign promised that the “people” would have a voice in his administration. If this really is “our moment”, then we plan to hold President-Elect Obama to his promise. We invite you to defend your vote!
Coming Soon: Inauguration and the First 100 days!
