I will post this idea again since some fascist was clearly threatened by it. "How can we strengthen our democracy and promote efficiency and effectiveness by making government more transparent, participatory, and collaborative when the president of the United States refuses to release his birth certificate to scrutiny proving he is constitutionally eligible to hold the highest office in this great land." If the people do not have the ability to confirm the constitutional eligibility of our elected president what is the point of this website? Here is my suggestion Mr. Barack Hussein Obama. Be transparent. Walk the walk. Produce your birth certificate now.

What distinguishes this site from an ordinary "suggestion box," however, is your ability to vote on those ideas you believe are the best. Ideas gain traction not by having been submitted in many different instances, but when the community comes together in support of individual ideas and votes them up the list.
Over the past few days, we have seen this in action, as the Discussion has begun to focus predominantly on a set of postings that are highly redundant to one another, in effect "crowding out" the diverse range of ideas that we truly hope to gain from this discussion. When this happens, regardless of the content of these ideas, the discussion loses its ability to directly inform the White House's work on issues of open and transparent government.
Our attitude is that any idea, respectfully presented, is a legitimate contribution to the site. Whether or not it is relevant to the discussion is for you to decide, which you can do by voting ideas up or down. But please keep in mind that flooding the site with comments about any single topic dilutes both the importance of that topic and the effectiveness of the Dialogue overall.

So now, we are asking you for your help. Vote down the postings you feel are counterproductive to maintaining a free-flowing exchange of ideas, and flag content that you feel is duplicative or inappropriate to the discussion.
We will continue to actively moderate this site by removing any idea or comment that violates our moderation policy.
With your help, this site will remain an open, focused dialogue that will help shape the President's commitment to transparency in government.
Thank you,
The National Academy of Public Administration
