Rights and responsibilities of citizens in the Age of Obama
The 2008 presidential election saw the unprecedented involvement of citizens across the nation, exercising their right to participate. The campaign also saw an unprecedented use of new forms of information sharing, such as the Internet and text messaging, which helped citizens fulfill their responsibility to be informed and to participate in the political process.
