White House Unveils New Way To Petition For Policy Change Online

by Zara Golden | 5:52 pm, September 2nd, 2011

The White House has unrolled a new way for Americans to ask their government for change on the internet, announcing yesterday plans for “We the People”, a program that references the U.S.’s first petition, the Constitution. Through “We the People,” Americans can start petitions to then be circulated through email and social network until they get enough votes to merit the White House policy staff’s attention. According to the announcement, it will only take “5,000 signatures in 30 days” to get such petitions reviewed and answered. That doesn’t sound like that many, really! You don’t even have to get dressed to make change, anymore; you just need a lot of internet friends.
