Hey Greg-
I don't know if you've seen the website Change.org, but I found this Evolution idea on it:
http://www.change.org/ideas/view/create_nationally_required_science_sta…
It is currently in 19th place for the Education category. The top ten ideas from the site will be presented to Obama and will receive official sponsorship from the Change.org organization.

Beautiful picture.
