Dear ayoub,This week we announced the official theme of President-elect Obama's inauguration: "Renewing America's Promise."You may recognize this theme. It was a vision that President-elect Obama first committed to months ago -- a vision to expand opportunity to every American, and restore America's standing around the world.We've talked about bringing change to Washington, but now we need to live up to that pledge. That's why we're planning the most open and accessible inauguration in history.Today, we're taking the unprecedented step of giving everyone access to the database of donors who have contributed more than $200 to the Presidential Inaugural Committee. You'll be able to search for virtually real-time information on every donor by name, employer, city or state, and find out who has bundled contributions for the committee. Take a look at our donor database:http://www.pic2009.org/page/m2/14907f45/5785b461/2a89b149/607ee263/766173953/VEsE/In keeping with President-elect Obama's commitment to changing the way business is done in Washington, we won't accept contributions from corporations, labor unions, political action committees, federally registered lobbyists, non-U.S. citizens and registered foreign agents. We also won't accept individual contributions larger than $50,000.The need for accountability doesn't begin when the oath of office is taken. It needs to be a part of every step in the process. Our new database is one of the first steps toward a more open and transparent Washington. Take a look:http://www.pic2009.org/page/m2/14907f45/5785b461/2a89b149/607ee263/766173953/VEsF/The 2008 election belonged to the American people -- and so does our inauguration. Thank you for your support.Sincerely,Emmett S. BeliveauExecutive DirectorPresidential Inaugural Committee 2009
