Latest Change the Story Poll
On June 4, President Obama gave a historic speech in Cairo, Egypt, calling for a new beginning between the United States and the Muslim World. In a recent Change the Story poll, about 75 percent of you said thought that Obama's speech would improve the relationship between the United States and the Muslim world. The other 25 percent remains unconvinced. We'd like to thank our readers and fans from all over the world--from India to Norway to Nigeria and beyond--for participating in the poll. We, like you, think that the more people weigh in about U.S.-Muslim relations, the more our leaders will pay attention.
Email President Obama
As President Obama begins the all-important first 100 days in office, U.S. relations with the Muslim world have never been worse. However, he can change the course of history. Tell the president to remember that he represents ALL Americans, and that the world looks to us as an example of democracy at its best.
