  <body>&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;em&gt;PollTrack &lt;/em&gt;has just come off a very successful campaign season, tracking the most 
exciting presidential election in a generation (along with more than 20 US 
Senate races). With more than 220,000 visitors in the first two-and-half months 
of our launch we had visitors from every&amp;nbsp;state in the union and 108 nations. One 
feature of the site, &lt;em&gt;VOICES ON THE GROUND&lt;/em&gt;, invited contributions from 
artists, writers, observers, scholars, students, and others who helped us track 
the election from the perspective of where it mattered the most: with voters on 
the ground. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;As we approach the inauguration of President-Elect Obama, &lt;em&gt;VOICES&lt;/em&gt; launches &lt;em&gt;The Obama Project--&lt;/em&gt;an online forum for 
commentary, analysis, poetry, photographs, and &lt;em&gt;YouTube&lt;/em&gt; content that 
explores the following questions: &lt;em&gt;What Does The Election of Barack Obama 
Mean To You?&lt;/em&gt; And &lt;em&gt;What Does it Mean for The Nation?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;We ask you to submit texts (from a single line to 2,000 words), 
photographs, or content you've posted on &lt;em&gt;YouTube&lt;/em&gt;. We will be uploading 
content on an&amp;nbsp;ongoing basis through the inauguration and beyond. You are 
also welcome to submit materials that relate to Election 2008 but do not fall 
within the purview&amp;nbsp;of &lt;em&gt;The Obama Project&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;To submit texts or images, go to the &quot;Participate&quot; tab on the yellow tool bar in the lower right of the VOICES page. 
You may also send texts (and photo attachments) directly to &lt;a title=&quot;mailto:voices@polltrack.com&quot; href=&quot;mailto:voices@polltrack.com&quot;&gt;voices@polltrack.com&lt;/a&gt;. However you submit materials, &lt;em&gt;PLEASE&lt;/em&gt;: include your full 
name and your city and state or location (if outside the US)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;We very much look forward to hearing your voices on PollTrack.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
