I’m on my way to Washington, DC for my first time. And Barack Obama’s first inauguration. Yes. We can! He’s officially in office. I’m hoping to meet him. Fingers crossed. I think that my official inaugural ball invite may have gotten lost in the mail. But I’m sure that I’m on the list. After all, we commissioned the butterhead of Barack that helped him win Iowa and arguably win the election.

I do know that I’m on several party lists since I’m the official People’s Correspondent for artist Shepard Fairey and director Melissa Balin’s “Vote for Change” Campaign. They are continuing the success of this video postcard campaign that was inspired by the first presidential debate and featured artists, business owners, musicians, actors and opinon-makers, who volunteered to share their support for Barack Obama as president.

“Vote for Change” was a super successful campaign. In less than two weeks before Election Day, more than a million of the video postcards were downloaded to iPods, iPhones and social networking sites. Each person was given 60 seconds to express themselves, uncensored at the Subliminal Projects Gallery in Los Angeles, where Shepard Fairey’s awesome Obama Hope poster and artwork is featured.

As the official People’s Correspondent, I’m going to ask regular citizens and celebrities what their hopes for change are for this new administration. So what are your hopes for change? I want to know. Email them to me at kate@citizenkate.tv. I would love your video responses.

I’m really excited to work with Shepard and Melissa. I met Shepard at the DNC and showed him my hugs postcard that was inspired by his Obama Hope poster. Then I met Melissa through mutual friends and we hit if off. She’d already heard about me and my hugs. :)

Note to self: Hugs really do pay off. Together we can hope to change the world. And make it a better place filled with peace and hugs.
