First, Change.org's new site design earned them a top spot in DesignM.ag's 40 Most Inspirational Site Designs. Now, they're smack-dab in the middle of the Ideas for Change contest, which they're running with the Case Foundation.   

Inspired by the President-Elect's call for citizens to share their ideas for creating change, the contest drew nearly 8,000 ideas for change from community members. From now until January 15, you can vote on those ideas.  

On January 16, Change.org and the Case Foundation will announce the top ten ideas, and:

then launch a national campaign behind each idea and mobilize the collective energy of the millions of members of Change.org, MySpace, and partner organizations to ensure that each winning idea gets the full consideration of the Obama Administration and Members of Congress.

Now THAT's democratic.  And cool.
