On Day One

What would you ask President McCain or President Obama to do on day one?

The Better World Campaign, an advocacy group in Washington, DC that seeks to improve U.S. relations with the United Nations and its member countries, created a website, which allows Americans to tell the next president their ideas for improving American leadership in the world. The site, On Day One, features a section, 9 for '09 which highlights what most Americans feel are the nine most pressing issues currently facing the country. 9 for '09 includes: US image in the world, Iraq, nuclear proliferation, terrorism, poverty, peacekeeping, democracy and human rights, climate and energy, as well as global women’s issues. The site also features a blog, video interviews with politicians and poll questions.

Have your say and tell the candidates your ideas for a better world!
