Idea Outline
For nearly a decade, EU politics have been flirting with the idea of enabling a sizeable number of Europeans to directly influence legislation, ie. glimpsing Direct Democracy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Citizens'_Initiative Let's do it!!

The Challenge
* Current framework as proposed by EU may not be as flexible as demanded for modern issues and creates unnecessary burden for interested citizens. * Citizens would like to participate electronically in such e-democracy initiatives, preferably by mobile computers/phones, tablets etc.

The Solution

The idea is about turning the 1 million EU petition into a totally mobile experience. *Citizens should be able to vote with their finger*.

Features:
* The intended result is to provide an app for at least 3 major mobile platforms for the declared goal (fi. iOS, Android, Windows).
* The solution should have reasonable security aspects for the intended purpose (ease-of-use, 2-factor authentication etc).
* The resources (monetary, time) will be used to mobilize people in this direction.
* The 1st phase deliverable will be a summary report on the Tentative Execution Plan (TEP).

Target group and social impact
All Europeans. Potentially, they may become able to have a direct say in governmental affairs, at large.
