Initiative to represent the nations diverse and real concerns by location.

Many times, we are all caught up in the most publicized issues, we almost forget about the ones closest to our homes.

In a speech during his campaign, Obama mentioned "As we learn that the struggles of the textile workers in Spartanburg are not so different than the plight of the dishwasher in Los Vegas...we will remember that there is something happening in America; that we are not as divided as our politics suggest."

This initiative boasts a site which will allow us, as Americans, to see the needs of our fellow Americans, not through news media, but through the personal writings and postings of the Americans the problems actually effect.

With the site, we will be able to post concerns and problems in our communities (be it at city, county, state, or any other regional level) and others will "vote" on the entry as it effects them. This way, concerns widely felt will be more visible than others, while at the same time, the concerns of the minority are very much available and made known.

If we make our region's, state's, city's, needs visible, we will then realize what this nation is in need of, from the bottom up. We will see how common and how uncommon our problems are. Regardless, the participation and attention we give this initiative will help Americans to see the needs of others instead of or in relation to their own, as we move to form a more perfect union.
