Throughout our history, Americans have used petitions to organize around issues they care about from ending slavery, to guaranteeing women’s right to vote, to the civil rights movement.”

So why not sign this one:

I just recently found out about the Visible Vote application and have since loaded it on my phone: http://visiblevote.us/

It is a great application that gives you news about your national representatives (House and Senate) as well as the ability to vote on specific legislation and polls that Visible Vote then sends tallies to each of the politicians you have loaded. There is even a way to quickly send all of them a message. With all of this being straight from your phone (and Visible Vote has applications for several different handhelds), it’s easy to send a quick message, or get in a few votes from anywhere!

And just for fun, a few internet related bills before Congress. Your thoughts?
