There are a number of sites that do a great job of offering citizens petition tools that make impacts in society based on public demand. This section of the site aims to follow a similar model to other petition sites, but the advantage to Digital Citizen is the interconnectedness of the petitions to all the other features of the site. One can easily notify all their friends of a petition via message, turn petitions into debates, users can post a petition as a status to help make it “go viral”, attach calendar events to petitions, and send them directly to political leaders. The strength of a petition can be enhanced by the easy attachment of legislative text, photos, videos, news, or content from profiles on the site.  Honor badges like “petition creator” and “petition signer”, which are basically self-explanatory (sign or create a certain number of petitions), can further entice users to participate.
