A Note from Roger Doiron of Eat the View!

Some of you may have already received this, but just in case:



A message to all members of Eat the View!

Thanks for joining our citizen-led campaign to put an organic garden on the White House lawn. While I’m optimistic about our chances, we’re going to need to pull together to put this on the Obama administration’s busy agenda.

One effective way of doing this is through two competitions currently under way that will generate a small group of winning proposals that will be submitted to the Obama team. I’d like to ask your vote in each.

1) OnDayOne.org

This competition has been running since the beginning of the year and now entered the finals. Eat the View is among the 81 finalists that will narrowed down to 9.

You can vote for it by going here:
http://www.ondayone.org/contest

And clicking on “CLIMATE” at the top of the blue box and then clicking on “vote” next to Eat the View.


2) Change.org

This competition has recently been launched and is still in the first stage of idea selection.

You can vote for Eat the View by going here:
