Please Vote for Jim's Lifespan: He's My Brother
The election is long past, but I'm politicking this morning. My brother Jim, the architect, has a good idea, and he'd like to make the top ten list with his idea. If he does, it will get consideration from the new Obama administration.
I ask you to put your politics aside and think about the possibilities of Jim's concept and, of course, how nice it would be if you knew someone who knew someone whose idea could make a difference in the way we live in this ol' world of ours.
I watched Jim's 10-minute video outlining his bridge project the other night during a family gathering; that was the night we did not play Cranium. Heck, we didn't need the game after seeing what came out of my little brother's cranium. He's pretty smart. He's artistic, he's scientific and he comes up with some pretty neat ideas.
He's been fine tuning this project for a couple of years, and when he heard the incoming Obama administration had asked for contributors, Jim was glad to send his project for consideration.
So, thanks in advance for reading his note posted below, and many, many thanks in advance for passing the word to everyone you know who might think he's on to something. And, of course, encourage them to pass it on too. Even if you choose not to vote, I think you'll be amazed at his talent.
A vote for Jim's Lifespan could bring forth some exciting possibilities for populated areas in this world, so check it out. Jim's note follows.
Hey,
I wanted to see if I could get your quick help.
I'm not sure if you've heard, but there's a movement of citizens inspired by the presidential campaign who are now submitting ideas for how they think the Obama Administration should change America. It's called "Ideas for Change in America."
I've submitted an idea and wanted to see if you could quickly vote for it. The title is: Lifespan - A Resource- and Energy-Efficient Multi-use Bridge Concept.
You can read and vote for the idea by clicking on the following link: http://www.change.org/ideas/view/lifespan_-_a_resource-_and_energy-efficient_multi-use_bridge_concept
The top 10 ideas are going to be presented to the Obama Administration on Inauguration Day and will be supported by a national lobbying campaign run by Change.org, MySpace, and more than a dozen leading nonprofits after the Inauguration.
So each idea has a real chance at becoming policy.
Thanks for the support,
James Tibbs

Hey, thanks for the plug. I'm not sure that I agree with your flattering assessment of my cranial activity, but it's much appreciated all the same.
Sure would be nice to get this idea to the top ten. Unfortunately, I didn't even know this possibility existed until a few days before the voting deadline (12/31/08). Who knows? It's worth a shot anyway...
Send it via Facebook so it can go viral! I want an apt. in this when it gets built, Jim!
