Apparently Barack Obama is soliciting ideas from the public as he forms the first Office of Urban Policy. This sounds excellent... but I'm not totally sure if this website is legit or if was started by a sneaky company to collect email addresses from proactive citizens. Can anyone confirm? Shouldn't it be a .gov URL? obamaurbanpolicy.org

Seems it's a 3rd party, not the Obama camp doing this one.
It was created by the same group that started Walkscore, which is a nationally recognized site.
Very interesting find. Thank you.
