Press Release Body:
Following the January 20, 2009 release of Debra E. West, M.Ed.'s new title, "How to Get the Best Education
Possible for Your Child‐ Grades K‐6: A Parent's Handbook" by the Axis Publishing Company, LLC, the author was
inspired to answer the call of the new president for citizens to communicate with his administration and take
action at this special time in American history.
In response to the President Obama's call for ordinary citizens to band together and make suggestions and
offer ideas, Axis Publishing Company and new author Debra E. West announced their launch of the Best
Education Possible Citizen's Initiative on http://www.BestEducationPossible.net. Initiative Parameters: During
the first quarter of 2009, ending March 31, 2009, BestEducationPossible.net will seek to harness the collective
genius of parents and educators who serve in the trenches of our nation's educational system.
The Initiative follows the lead of the President's transition team and their "Citizen's Briefing Book" launched
on their Change.gov website, but closed to public contribution prior to the Inauguration. Like the “Citizen's
Briefing Book,” the Best Education Possible Citizen's Initiative will develop a white paper compiling ideas and
thoughts in a Web 2.0 environment. The goal is to have mass citizen and global participation in the generation
of ideas for improving our youth's education with the ultimate work product being delivered to President
Obama, U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, as well as, all fifty Governor's mansions.
This online tool and others are opening up the process by which the public obtains access to a presidential
administration. They are also changing the dynamics of how a presidential administration interacts with the
public.
The Best Education Possible Citizen's Initiative seeks to connect proactive parents, teachers and concerned
thinkers around the globe? The Initiative will utilize numerous online social networks to distribute its meme,
"Empowerment and Personal Responsibility through Education (EPTRE)", including, facebook, LinkedIn,
Plaxo, MySpace, and BestEducationPossible.net. About the Initiative Mrs. West says, "We all must be held
accountable and do our parts to succeed in this global economy. Education is the answer for our future
leaders and it must become a priority in this country to remain a global leader in the 21st century."
What is a meme? A meme (pronounced /miːm/) comprises a unit or element of cultural ideas, symbols or
practices; such units or elements transmit from one mind to another through speech, gestures, rituals, or
other imitable phenomena. The etymology of the term relates to the Greek word mimema for mimic. Memes
act as cultural analogues to genes in that they self‐replicate and respond to selective pressures.

(EPTRE)." Drawing on the undeniable energy that is presently circling the globe, along with the contagious
