3.7: Text the Secretary
Invite people from around the world to send the Secretary questions via text message and the State Department homepage. Other Information:
“Text the Secretary” is a mobile and interactive forum in which the public can submit questions to Secretary Clinton. This
new program invites people from around the world to send the Secretary questions via text message and the State Department
homepage. Anyone can use this program, especially given that text messages are far more popular than email in many locations
around the world (Inside U.S.: 90822, Outside U.S.: 202-255-6299). The Secretary has received thousands of text messages.
Representative responses are then featured on the state.gov website. This feature is part of Secretary Clinton’s broad message
of diplomacy-through-dialogue and a dialogue that is not just government-to-government.
