January 19th, 2009

John McCain in the 2008 Presidential race included a simple slogan that inspired millions of Americans to follow and believe in him: “Change We Can Believe In.”

This moniker has been echoed through many outlets in the United States, especially in blogs, forums, and countless media publications.  A popular medium for which his campaign message has gained an even larger following is over at his website at http://www.change.gov.

The website is a great platform for citizens of the United States to voice their opinions and give feedback on the issues that are really on the minds of Americans during these troubling times.  Depending on how many times a particular issue is “voted Up,” the more likely it is that Obama’s administration will review it and take action on it immediately.

One of the hottest topics on the site has been the issue of the legalization of online poker in the USA.  In just a short amount of time, this particular hot-button issue has received over a thousand comments by citizens wanting the immediate dismissal of UIGEA and tens of thousands of “UP” votes.  In fact, this topic has been fluctuating around as one of the top 10 issues that Barack Obama would possibly review once he takes his seat in the Oval Office - especially at the rate of positive hits this page has received!
