With a giant nod to the power of bloggers to be the change they wish to see in the world, the BlogHer community has set forth a call to action to their 11,000+ members with their new initiative "BlogHers Act".

The initiative is still in development, with plans to unveil exactly what direction this collective movement will take at the upcoming BlogHer '07 conference.

From the BlogHers Act initiative announcement:
"We're starting today: We have asked the incredible duo of Cooper Munroe and Emily McKhann, from the Been There Hurricane Clearinghouse Blog, to lead this effort for us, by helping us work together to identify both:

1. The global issue that the BlogHer community wants to support

2. A voter manifesto identifying the top issues that the community wants addressed during the American presidential election in 2008

Here's how to get involved: Cooper and Emily are taking suggestions for a BlogHer-wide survey of all members, who will vote and pick our red-hot issue. You can suggest anything -- are you already blogging about an issue you want BlogHers to get behind? Great! Suggest it.

You have until June 15 to suggest your burning issues. Then we'll launch a BlogHer-wide survey to vote on which of those issues will be the focus of the first BlogHers Act initiative."
