An example of political participation on the Internet

Internet has changed the public's political participation. On the official website of the White House, an online program, "We the People-- Your Voice in Our Government" asks people's petitions online. According to the website, "the idea of petitioning the White House or the government isn’t new, but this online platform is." People can ask for petition, and the related government departments response to the petitions. People can also share the responses on Twitter and Facebook.
