Vote for EWG Prez Ken Cook on Huff Post

October 2, 2009

By Lee Ann Brown, Press Associate

We get called a lot of names at EWG -- it comes with the territory. Some more flattering than others, but there's one that sums it up -- "Game Changers."

So it's no surprise that our very own Ken Cook is up for Huffington Post's title of Ultimate Game Changer in Green for being one of the best at using new media. You know, the widgets, the gadgets, the websites, the microposting, and the consumer databases that EWG is known for.

Huffington Post published its reasons for making Ken one of the top ten; now we all need to do is vote him to the top of the green heap by rating him a "10". That's where YOU come in.

What's so special about EWG?
The concept of information-driven advocacy is straightforward but strangely hard to find here in D.C. Plain facts and basic principles fuel our work. The data does the talking; we just give it a good, solid microphone. As Ken himself said,

I often tell people that at EWG we are swayed by facts, not emotion. And the facts really piss us off.

Read more - AND GIVE KEN A TEN - on Huffington Post.

We're proud to change the game, but as always, we need you to change it with us. So go ahead, vote now by rating Ken a 10.

Winners will be announced on November 10th. Check back to see we can vote Ken to the top.
