What opportunities can we find for political participation via the internet? We have to do some research and answering most of the following tasks.
->
First we had to sign an e-petition.
Democracy is essential for our live. It guarantees the human rights and gives us a choice to be part of a community, in which we have the chance to decide and change things.
I signed an e-petition of the German parliament. It is about a commission of inquiry to investigate the financial crisis. I think that's really important, cause it is about our future and our money.
You can find me as number 1059 with the following link:

Next I was to respond to a professional blogger at a major news site.
The following task was to find out what Barack Obama is up to today. On the website http://www.barackobama.com/ it is said, that the president has some interviews on a number of the major Sunday morning news shows, including ABC's This Week George Stephanopoulos , CBS's Face the Nation, NBC's Meet the Press , CNN's State of the Union with John Roberts , and Univision today (September 2o).
Our next thing was to find out,who our local, state and federal representatives are.
It was pretty tough for me to find out who they are, cause I'm from Germany, but finally I got all these information
