Washington (CNN) - The White House may have opened Pandora's box on Thursday when it announced it would respond to any petition that over 30 days garners at least 5,000 signatures and is submitted through the upcoming White House website "We the People."

Though the White House said the project is a way for the White House to connect with "individuals," a number of advocacy groups have told CNN they plan to use the website to lobby the White House on issues of all kinds.

Some groups have even started working on their petitions....

I heard about this yesterday and it sounds quite interesting.

Some groups have even started working on their petitions....
damn! I'm falling behind already. :D

I sure hope all the ADAP people and those on the waiting list get together. there's over 9000 on the waiting list right now, so they have a good chance of reaching their goal and getting recognition.
