Bob Compton Launches `Children4Change` Site to Help Americans Support Positive Education Reform

Online, Grassroots Organization Will Give Parents and Other Interested Parties
Both Knowledge and a Voice to Advocate for Improvement in Their Children`s
Education
INDIANAPOLIS--(Business Wire)--
Global entrepreneur, investor and education expert Bob Compton announces today
the release of a new, online, grassroots organization called
Children4Change.org. This organization is designed to inform and mobilize
American parents and other concerned citizens in support of President Obama`s
education agenda.

The creator of several documentary films on education, including the
widely-viewed Two Million Minutes, Compton has observed that parents and others
in favor of education improvement want to know how they, personally, can
advocate for change. Compton sought a way to organize American parents as a
force to support their children, as students, and decided to utilize
21st-century communication tactics to give these parents a voice.

Children4Change.org allows parents and other interested parties to opt-in for
notifications - via email, phone or both - regarding education reform events,
legislative actions and opportunities to communicate with government leaders
regarding education decisions - all tailored to their geographic location. For
instance, if the state legislature in Indiana is voting on an education-related
bill next week, Children4Change.org will alert all members located in Indiana of
the opportunity to contact their government leaders regarding the vote. The
organization also allows members to sign petitions which are sent directly and
immediately to these political leaders, effectively simplifying this process for
concerned parents who might not otherwise have the time or resources to provide
this type of feedback.

"I wanted a means to assist concerned American citizens in supporting education
reform to benefit today`s students," said Compton. "Children4Change.org provides
the necessary tools to give people a voice to speak on behalf of positive
changes in education for their children."

Children4Change.org will be debut in Indianapolis, Ind. with the ultimate goal
of expanding it across the nation. The site already features an open letter to
President Obama, voicing support for his education agenda. Interested parties
can sign the letter, which will be then sent to the President. For more
