Obama is on the right track. He has launched a new website to better engage his tech-savvy fans and encourage them to “participate in helping him pass his legislative agenda.” He’s even planning to appoint a chief technology officer and “has said he’ll have a five-day online comment period before signing any nonemergency legislation.”

Let’s hope that embracing online communication tools will help him capture the voices of the underrepresented, like physicians, who have been historically marginalized but in a great position to affect change.
