...petition signed by 50 people and a 30-minute video. They'll be narrowed down to a field of semifinalists of various ideologies by a panel of political experts. Then the audience will winnow the field in a process involving debates and politicking (but, please God, not Ryan Seacrest).

Looking beyond Nebraska, the foundation has since 1994 named hundreds of North American communities as "Groundwater Guardians" and honored their leaders. A North Carolina town, for example, was cited for fighting groundwater pollution from hog farms. "When I started in my kitchen," Seacrest says, "I had no idea it would lead to all this...
