Pew e-Democracy Poll Results Posted
Here is one item from the report How Americans Get in Touch With Government from the Pew Internet & American Life series:
Internet users were explicitly asked whether they had ever used the Internet or email to try to change a government policy or affect a politicianÂ’s vote. About one-third (30%) said they had done this in the July 2003 survey, a substantial increase from the 19% who said this in a September 2001 callback survey of people who had at one time gone to a government Web site. The policy issues that prompted the contact run a fairly wide gamut; 15% identified the environment as the reason for their missive, 11% said education, 11% said budget or tax issues, 10% said the Iraq war, 10% said health care, and 10% said civil rights or social justice. One quarter (26%) identified some other issue.
