CPSIA Idea Go to the New Administration Directly

[#1]

Hello fellow Etsians. I found this on Current's website this morning and it gave me an idea. I guess President Elect Obama has set up an "open questions" website. It works like Digg or Current, where people can submit a question and then others vote it up. Once enough people vote it up, the transition team for the new administration answers them. I am not the best at writing, and I am not a toy maker, so I am not up on the ins and outs of your situation, but I thought this could be a way to get some answers and action. Hopefully someone who has the talents and the knowledge of the situation will post a question there, and then give us the link so we can all vote it up. Once the question is up, you can then tell everyone you know to go and vote it up, and that does not take a lot of time. Good luck and I hope this works for you all.

Here is the site:

Seriously, how are you people getting to a point where you can vote on the question? All I get is a popup telling me to install some file. I finally gave in and did that, but when I tried opening the installed file, my computer doesn't know what program to use, and I'm still nowhere. I would like to get on this bandwagon, but I can't figure out how!

LaBeq, I am not sure what is going on for you. I hope someone who is more computer savvy can get on here to help you. Perhaps the site uses flash or some other component that is not up to date on your computer or browser. Anyone good at this who can help LaBeq out?

[LaBeq]

Hmm...maybe I should just try again on my own computer when I get home. This doesn't look like the normal problems I have with my somewhat limiting work computer, but that may still be the answer.

Folks, in my opinion, this question website is VERY hard to navigate - it only seems to show the most popular questions, which, of course, will continue to get the most votes. Spread the word, so we can get this question on the front page!

[MooreMagnets]

I voted! Everyone should go vote!

[Former_Member]

We need to keep voting on this to move it to the front page. Let everyone you know to go and vote!

Okay, no idea what was wrong when I tried from work, but I got through at home. Let's hope this will do some good.
