Two:
We need for you to write your National Congresspersons directly. Find them here. They will be receiving, Redesigning America's Future, in their mail boxes by January 20, 2009. They will only read and act upon it if you tell them to do so.

I suggest you see a paper I wrote for the Design Management Institute entitled "Should Government Promote Design? A Design Initiative for Economic Growth" in 1993. The article was featured in Vol.4, No. 3 Design and National Policy. It can be obtained from the Design Management Institute-dmistaff@dmi.org. or 617-338-6380. Reprint #9343HAN22, It was also presented at the annual education conference of the Industrial Designers Society of America at Georgia Tech.
