Warren broadens reach by joining petition website
By Mattias Gugel
WASHINGTON — Already one of the highest-profile Democrats in the country and a prolific Internet fund-raiser, Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts is seeking to expand her influence on the Web by inviting a connection to the hundreds of thousands of people who sign online petitions.
Warren last month became the first US senator to formally align herself with a com-mercial Internet site, called change.org, that claims to be the world’s largest forum for electronic petitions, serving up a smorgasbord of causes — from ridding the world of nuclear weapons to giving Kim Kardashian a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Warren is joined as a formally designated “decision maker’’ on the change.org site by a small but diverse group of Washington lawmakers that also includes Republican Representative Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, the former vice presidential nominee.
