It would seem that President-Elect Barack Obama has already started to usher in change. Today marks the launch of a new website which seems to have the goal of merging the gap between citizen and government.
The website contains a newsroom, blog, and even a section entitled 'agenda', under which lists several sections to browse through the various issues of importance. Selecting one will show what the government of Obama/Biden intend to do and how they intend to do it. There is also a section of the website called the 'American Moment' where visitors may post their concerns, opinions, and hopes for the future.
Change.gov offers a unique way of having citizens become involved in the political system of their country, it is still fairly new and thus we'll have to wait to measure its success.
