Here is an interesting development; if it becomes well publicized and world opinion is made known in advance of the election, I'll be curious to see what kind of reaction the candidates or voters make. Cheers, Kim ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Dan Sheetz <dan@goodfoodpro.com> Date: Tue, Oct 21, 2008 at 4:21 PM Subject: <nettime> Who is The World For To: nettime-l@kein.org Dear Nettimers, One of the most important elections in United States history will take place this November 4, 2008. While only US citizens may vote in this election, much of the world is watching the race very closely. Faced with a growing financial crisis, climate change and global energy challenges, we all know that an uncertain future will be greatly defined by the next US president. For better or worse, we are all interconnected. With this in mind, we have created TheWorldFor.com, an interactive web site where people all over the world can cast a vote for the next United States President. We invite all citizens of the world to participate: http://www.theworldfor.com We ask that you please share this site with ALL of your friends and family around the world. In the coming weeks, the site will feature an increasingly diverse and living visualization of world opinion, ultimately aimed to inform US voters as they make their way to the ballot box on November 4. TheWorldFor.com was developed by a few concerned and hardworking Americans who made this project as a labor of love. We are not affiliated with any group, campaign, or government agency. Thank you for your attention, your voice, and most importantly, your vote.
