This website is an important new technological development for the communication and coordination between citizens and government.
Many people now interact with the internet exclusively from their mobile devices.
Countless more voters would have access to the petitions on this site if they were able to vote with ease with an app on their tablets and phones.
Creating and freely distributing an app is the next logical stage in the whitehouse.gov petition process.
Contributions to these petitions should rival the popularity of the facebooks, instagrams and twitters of the world. Not be shadowed by them.
