“Openness will strengthen our democracy and promote efficiency and effectiveness in government.”
— President Barack Obama
The Obama Administration should be able to hear direct input from the citizens of the United States of America. A website could be easily produced to allow the petitioning of ideas and events aimed at the betterment of the United States, and society as a whole.
Such a website could be used in three simple steps. For example:
Step 1
Browse open petitions to find a petition related to your issue, and add your signature.
Step 2
If your issue is not currently represented by an active petition, start a new petition
Step 3
If a petition meets the signature threshold, it will be reviewed by the Administration and we will issue a response.
