Članek zastavlja vprašanje, kakšne oblike političnega delovanja državljana - uporabnika spletnih strani so spodbujale spletne strani v ameriški predsedniški kampanji leta 2000.

V ta namen sta avtorja analizirala trinajst predsedniških kampanj in ugotovila, da so spletne strani omogočale politično delovanja online in offline, kar ilustrirata na številnih razsežnostih delovanja.
