Change is Coming. New Politics Page! Care2.com/causes/politics

Care2 is embarking on a new and exciting project! We have launched the Care2 Causes, which brings you endless information about the issues you care about. This page will be replaced by the politics cause, so go check it out! www.care2.com/causes/politics.

The new Obama administration is ushering in a theme of change throughout Washington, D.C., and Care2 is responding with some change of our own. Many of you have followed the Election '08 channel as we broke down the important races and issues that defined this fall's election cycle.

But now that the last few special elections and runoffs are over, and (save for a few ongoing recounts) we know who will make up the 111th Congress, it's time to shift the focus from the election in particular to politics in general--with an eye toward the most important issues dominating the discourse and action in D.C. and around the country. This move coincides nicely with the launch of our Care2 Causes.

While the Election '08 section and the Care2 Election Blog have been a great source of news and information throughout the election cycle, the Politics Cause Channel will enable you to get the latest information but also connect with other politically minded Care2 members and take action for change in our government. The new Politics Cause blog will retain all your favorite aspects of the Election '08 channel (the Friday Rant & Rave, posts on big news items that prompt discussion in the comments and the best of TV's political comedy, for example). We'll also be including more blog posts that provide some extended background information on some of our politics-oriented petitions on ThePetitionSite, more opinion pieces from a variety of voices about what's hot in the world of politics and more guest blogs from our non-profit partners.

Like the Election '08 section, the Politics Cause will focus on U.S. political content--or, for example, posts on U.S. foreign policy. If you're interested in international politics, we encourage you to join in the discussion on one of the Care2 politics groups that discusses world issues. Ultimately, our goal for the Politics Cause is to give you one central location for everything politics-related on Care2.

So head on over to the NEW Politics Cause on Care2 and let us know what you think in the comments!
