The Natural Solutions Foundation, as a response to the request from President Elect Obama for citizen participation in government, has entered a proposal in the change.org website that Natural Health (instead of pharmaceutical life-time medication) be taken up as part of the Obama program. The top ten proposals will be put to Obama administration.

At present, the Natural Health proposal lies at number nine! Your vote is needed NOW both to keep it in the top ten and to move it higher in the rankings. The higher the ranking, the more seriously this proposal will be taken.

You can vote from now until January 15th. The change.org website is a bit challenging to navigate so the Foundation has created a special link to help you get to their proposal.

You may wonder why there are so few votes, even for the top placed item; after all, there are over 200 million voters in the USA but there are currently only few thousand.

It’s sad but true that most citizens do not make even the smallest effort to generate change. Mostly, they just get upset about things not changing. Congress uses the following formula to gauge interest in an issue: for each person who writes their congressperson or senator, 20,000 others are of the same opinion.

Looking at the table of suggested issues at change.org from the viewpoint of a politician, the numbers must be multiplied by 20,000. So, if we can get 20,000 votes for natural health, this will be read by the Obama administration as 400,000 active supporters! It is also known that for each person that is in favor of the proposal a further 100 will go along with it. So 20,000 direct votes will be read on the Hill as a 40,000,000 grass roots base. This is powerful enough to change things. So, please, not only make your vote count but ask your friends, family and neighbors to vote as well. Together, we can move this very important issue front and center as a new administration priority.
