Alright, here's something everyone should get behind, and we need to do it in a hurry. Imagine an aquaponics system at the white house? I just received the following email from Rebecca Nelson (the aquaponics journal): Quote: Hi Joel,
Will Allen of Growing Power in Milwaukee, WI has been nominated for the job of White House Farmer. Will demonstrates and teaches urban agriculture and AQUAPONICS. You can vote for him to be the Whitehouse Farmer – the person who cultivates and grows organic vegetables on what is now 5 acres of white house lawn. The voting closes on Jan 31. Right now Will is in 3rd place (out of 100 nominees). To vote, go to: http://whitehousefarmer.com/ Please pass this on to anyone who you think might help. Thanks Rebecca |

non US residents can vote too !!!! I have been in constant direct contact with Rebecca for the last few hours and sent mails not only to my contacts, but also to all "green" political parties and organizations in Belgium (Flemish part) to ask for their support. this could be extremely promotional to Aquaponics so please all join frank |

He got my vote but he`s still quite a way behind. My daughters are passing the word to their college and uni mates, so he should get a good few there |

So long as he makes the top 3, he gets his info sent on to the staffer. Then again, has anyone in power actually agreed that there should be a white house farmer or is this all simply and internet forums idea with no other support? |

Voted Will Allen too. Having a white house farmer would be great. I wonder how the press would react. |

He's got my vote. I asked another person here at the ministry to vote, however, the white house computer counted our server as 1 person and would only allow the 1 vote. |
