## What it is
A Drupal 7 installation profile that powers We The People, the White House online petition platform at petitions.whitehouse.gov. It lets users create and sign petitions, with public listing and official responses once signature thresholds are met.

## Use cases
- run a citizen petition website for a government or organization
- let users create and sign petitions online
- publish petitions publicly once they gather enough signatures
- customize an existing petitioning platform using Drupal 7 theming
- collect and track petition signatures over a fixed time window

## When to choose
- you need a proven, self-hosted petitioning platform and have Drupal 7 development experience
- your government or organization wants citizens to petition it and receive official responses
- you want to reuse the exact codebase behind petitions.whitehouse.gov

## When to avoid
- you are not comfortable maintaining a legacy Drupal 7 / PHP 5.2-era codebase
- you need a modern, actively developed stack or long-term support
- you want a turnkey product without customization work
