Dear friend,
We are a creative and inspired movement, and here's the evidence.
Last week we asked you to submit and rate ideas for actions people can take to help turn the Contract for the American Dream into a reality. Here are just a few of the top-rated suggestions so far:
"Create a 50 state plan... for finding Contract for the American Dream candidates for local, state and federal positions."—Tim R. from Georgia
"Similar to Obama's fellows program, develop a fellowship program to train people to educate their communities on the Contract and push this agenda."—J.A.M. from Tennessee
"Develop lists of scientists, celebrities and entertainers, economists and religious leaders who support the Contract." Earon D. from Illinois
This is a great start, but the more ideas we come up with and the more people start spreading the word, the stronger our movement will be.
We need your help to come up with even more ways to take action. What do you think people can do with the Contract? Submit and rate your best ideas here.

Contract for the American dream
We're sharing and rating our best ideas for actions people can take to turn the Contract for the American Dream into a reality. Click here to join in:
Dear friend, Over the past month more than a quarter million people have endorsed the Contract for the American Dream. That's a big deal. Progressives are uniting behind a set of real solutions for fixing our broken economy.
We're coming together because the Contract was built by our movement from the ground up. More than 70 outstanding organizations got involved and helped to make it happen. Hundreds of thousands of people took part in crafting the ten-point plan. It's our plan.
But the Contract isn't just an inspiring document. It's a plan to transform our country and it's up to all of us to make it happen. So today we want to open up the door once again and ask for your best ideas for putting the Contract to work.
What are your best ideas for actions people can take to help turn this Contract into a reality?
Submit your best ideas here, and rate ideas from others.
We know that this isn't the way organizations usually run campaigns. But we believe in the brilliance of the American Dream movement more than in any one organization.
It could be that one plank speaks to you and you have a great idea for how to work on it locally. You might want to engage with elected or community leaders to get more people excited about the Contract as a whole. You might have a creative idea about how to use art, music, or video to spread the word.
Over the coming weeks we'll make sure we share the best ideas across our movement and provide the resources and tools so that people just like you can go from inspiration to action as quickly and easily as possible.
Our goal is to see Contract for the American Dream campaigns popping up nationwide in a matter of weeks. From efforts to raise awareness about the Contract itself, to local campaigns on individual Contract planks, to endorsements from community leaders and organizations.
The sky's the limit right now. The more ideas we come up with and the more people who jump in and start spreading the word, the better.

Thank you for being a part of, and believing in, this movement. –Van Jones and the rest of the Rebuild the Dream team P.S. For a refresher, the Contract for the American Dream consists of a simple but powerful ten-point plan: I. Invest in America's Infrastructure
