National Day of Renewal and Reconciliation

President Obama is calling on YOU to come to the aid of your country. In one of the first posts on the White House's new blog, you can read the text of the president's first proclamation: A National Day of Renewal and Reconciliation. Here's the part about you:

NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim January 20, 2009, a National Day of Renewal and Reconciliation, and call upon all of our citizens to serve one another and the common purpose of remaking this Nation for our new century.

OK, all you adventurous women, what can you do for your country? The White House's Office of Public Liaison will be providing lots of ideas but at the moment they want to hear your thoughts. Click here and start contributing.
