Poder Ciudadano (Citizen Power) collected signatures on two petitions that, through a constitutional provision, obligated the Argentine Congress to consider community-proposed legislation regarding two socio-economic issues: pensions of privilege, a system of excessive retirement benefits for former government officials (even for those known to be corrupt); and hunger, especially of children and pregnant women.  The overarching goal of the petition campaign tactic was not only to obligate the Congress to address these problems, but also to propose solutions to alleviate them.
