Upcoming is an excellent opportunity for Cleveland citizens to share their concerns and interests with the White House - President Obama to visit Cleveland next week for small-business forum - I haven't a clue if and how the organizers plan to include you the people in this event, but rest assured the White House will be monitoring realNEO.US and Cleveland.com activity closely in the coming weeks... in fact, I'm sure someone from the White House is here today (it's a very big house)!

I see this occassion as an excellent opportunity for Expanding the Conversation on Environmentalism worldwide, and Working for Environmental Justice here at home...

President Barack Obama will visit Cleveland State University with several of his Cabinet members on Feb. 22, to convene a "Winning the Future" forum on small business in conjunction with the local business innovation groups JumpStart and NorTech.
 
"In his State of the Union address, the president spoke about needing to out-innovate, out-educate and out-build our competitors in order to sustain our leadership and secure prosperity for all Americans," a White House official said. "The forum will be an opportunity for the president and his economic team to hear directly from small business owners and leaders about their ideas for how America can continue to grow the economy, put Americans back to work, and win the future."
