Co-ops for Change!
It’s time for change! As cooperative supporters we know how to effect change – more member owned cooperatives! Our friends at the National Co-op Business Alliance (NCBA) have partnered with fellow cooperators to develop a question and post it on www.change.gov.

We’re not sure when but President-elect Obama and his team will respond to the questions that receive the most votes so place your vote today. With your vote, you can help draw attention to the benefits of the cooperative enterprise.

Visit Open for questions and type in “Co-operative Development” (include the hyphen) in the “Search
Questions” toolbar. Click “Sign-in” and create an account (if you don’t already have one). After you create your account, go back to the
question and click on the check mark to cast your vote.

Cooperatives know the importance of voting! Cast your vote today – before the polls close!
