Dear White House: Please Tell us the Truth About E.T.
Petitioners Seek Everything From Boosting Raw Milk Sales to Legalizing Pot
By LAURA MECKLER
Check out the article above to see how our government is using the ideas of crowdsourcing to help determine what people really want.
People can submit petitions for anything they feel is a large issue of today. Petitions are asking for a large range of things from legalizing marijuana to finding out the truth about E.T. The government has posted about 200 of these petitions online for the public to view. It's interesting to see niche interests get attention this way. The White House intends to form a committee to evaluate each petition. Could this be a form of designing applied to government?

A great example of how the Obama administration is embracing user innovation. A quiet revolution in how we are governed is underway. Given Congress' abysmal performance, there will be further calls for putting the government back in the hands of the people!
