Eat the view wins!

Roger Doiron over in Scarborough just sent word that his Eat The View campaign is the winner of the On Day One initiative.

Won is sort of an understatement. Of 81 entries, the Eat The View campaign smashed the competition with a whopping 3994 votes. The next closest suggestion was the Create a Cabinet Level Department of Peace which received 1562 votes.

Now this doesn't mean that the Obamas have agreed to take on the task of turning the White House lawn into a new Victory Garden, but with the support of gardeners across the US, this is perhaps the first step toward that goal.

According to Roger's press release:

"It requires no new spending, but rather redirects existing natural and human resources towards a more productive and socially-responsible end. The sun and soil are already there, Doiron points out, as is the White House’s 13-person grounds crew who could help plant and maintain this new garden."

What's the next step to help make this dream of fresh veggies a reality? Go to Change.org and vote for Victory Garden 2.0. There's a registration process which takes a few minutes. Yeah, registrations can be a pain, but Victory Garden 2.0 needs about 6000 more votes to be a finalist. Let's do Mrs. Roosevelt proud and get her garden back on the lawn where it belongs!
