U.S. Senator Dick Durbin has a new website, www.PickChicago2016.com, to gather petition signatures urging the International Olympic Committee to pick Chicago for the 2016 Olympics. The site allows visitors to submit a video saying why Chicago should host the Olympics. A winning video will be selected and featured on Senator Durbin’s website.
Beyond organizing supporters of the Olympics, Senator Durbin and his staff deserve credit for harnessing the energy and ideas of the public to make their case. The site has almost 8,000 petition signatures so far.
