Tools and functions.
Here is a list of the tools and functions that are available to the users and briefly what they do.
Group Module:
This module will serve as a form of interest organization, meaning that people can join one or more groups, with which they feel they share a common goal with.
This module provides the users the opportunity to create or join an existing group of users, thereby giving users the opportunity to join and vote together. It is possible to leave and exit a group as preferred by the user. When a group creator have appointed 1 or more group "administrators" for the group, people can then join the group. Each time the administrators
of the group take an action such as a vote, or take a stand towards an issue, the members of the group will receive a email notification, which they will be expected to act upon, in order for their vote to count to the favor of the group.

This is a way of suggesting an alternative issue to an existing issue, if the users suggesting should feel that they have a better way of targeting and solving the objectives of the issue. - Petition
