I'm not sure why, but the link doesn't work on the title. Also, I posted it to r/politics, but it isn't showing up anywhere. At least /u/PoliticBot picked it up from here.

I take it you are also amazed by the fact that there are as of right now 22 upvotes. Which don't get me wrong, we need the publicity, but we also need the signatures. However, I do understand people's reluctance to sign up for the website just to sign a petition. I kinda had that mindset too, but I suddenly realized it didn't matter if I was signed* up or just lurking... they have that information anyways. So, they have my email, name, bank accounts, browsing history... so, might as well be out there, because to them you already are.

When has one of these petitions resulted in any verifiable action?

You know.. I don't recall, but I do know it's helped open somes eyes. At the very least that's what I'm going for.
