Dear Colombia Advocates:

Barack Obama's transition team has set up an interactive "Citizen's Briefing Book" where you can send your ideas for America's future to the president-elect.

We'd like you to visit this website today to show your support for a new, positive direction in U.S. policy towards Colombia that stands by victims and human rights activists, helps bring human rights abusers to justice, and invests in peace.

To "vote" for a new Colombia policy, you must first register at change.gov (we promise it's easy). Once you're registered, go back to our idea and click "vote up." We encourage you to add your own vision for a new Colombia policy to the ideas' comments section.

The ideas that receive the most votes will receive a public response from the transition team, so don't pass up this opportunity to make your voice heard!

If you haven't already, remember to sign our petition calling on President-elect Obama to build a just U.S. policy towards Latin America and the Caribbean.

Best,

Travis and Lisa
