ceigered:I believe non US citizens are allowed in voting because even though we don't live in the country, the US is so influential that whatever happens there generally affects the rest of the world [..]
After all we're all living in Amerika rido.gif

Now it's fifteenth overall, but still first in education, so if you haven't already voted, VOTE! If every US user of Lernu voted, we would be way ahead!

Esperanto is losing ground fast. It used to have over a 100 vote lead on the second idea in education. Please spread the word and go vote.

I've got a widget on my Myspace, Facebook, and wikispace 'advertising' the idea on the site, maybe writing these events into the wikipedia article for Esperanto is a good idea? rido.gif (albeit slightly cheeky)

Oh btw if you're stupid like me, A. Don't admit it and B. when you go to vote, look to the left of the title of the proposal (you can't miss the title) and it will have a number like '365' or something like that, it will have a little miniscule button attached to the number saying 'vote' - That's how you need to vote, simply writing a comment underneath doesn't count.

I made that mistake, and I'm gathering that if one guy did it, about 10 other people must have done it too, either that or I'm stupider than I thought.

Ok... we are no longer first in education... demando.gif

I voted! rideto.gif Now we are on 407!
By the way, why does the registration only ask for your password to be typed in once? demando.gif That's just asking for problems...

Well isn't that dandy... There must be some way to get the word out, but even then I guess there's the complication that even if it's first in education, Obama might take it too seriously. Also, consider Spanish or the other 'major world languages' like Mandarin, French, German, Arabic, Russian, Hindi, Portuguese (with Indonesian and a few others coming up behind). Of those, Spanish is definitely relevent to the education of young Americans considering the sheer cultural influences from América Latina. So without a significant push for Esperanto, I'm worried it might be overlooked quite easily...

But, on that note, I wouldn't mind if Esperanto became the world language or a creole of English and Spanish became the world language - language is the product of human thought, and because all humans are equal, all languages are equal in validity IMHO.

I do not expect Obama or his people to pay the slightest attention to anything that the polls on change.org have to say. Computer polls are notorious for inaccuracy and ease of running up the numbers for choices/ideas that are unpopular. Obama has bigger things to worry about than some silly online poll - such as the economy, the wars, and healthcare reform.

I'm a strong supporter of Esperanto, but really, Obama has so many better things to do, I would be disappointed in him if he spent even one second thinking about putting Esperanto into our schools. How about a national health service and a jobs program?, I would ask him.

Good point Erinja, I forgot that the world was falling apart.

That's why Australia is the place to live rido.gif
