In this week's Exchange Insta-Poll, you told us that some of the greatest challenges your organizations face are the state of the economy, competition from Pre-K in the public schools, and insufficient and declining public support for ECE. You have shared these challenges with your 50,000 friends in our early childhood community, but now it is time for you to share these concerns, and your solutions, with the next President of the United States.

One of the many changes that will occur when Barack Obama is sworn in as the 44th President of the United State in January will be the infusion of the energy of the Internet into the functioning of our democracy. As you know, Obama was the first Presidential candidate to effectively harness the power of the Internet to raise funds and get out the vote during his campaign. And, he will be using the Internet to inform his work as President.

Now you can share your vision for early childhood education with President Obama via the Internet. To do so, go to Change.Gov, click on the "American Moment" tab at the top of the page, and click on "Share your vision."

Let the voices of early childhood professionals be heard!
