I don't need to sign, I had these rights before and don't need guberment to say "OK, we'll let you"

I totally agree with you but it isn't about asking the government if we can do it or not. It's to gain momentum and for people to notice the cause and once 150 signatures are on it more people will be able to see it and think "hey he's right we should!" that's what it's about.

If that's what you want to accomplish, would not you achieve the goal bybetter means than some obscure petition?

I do not use social media, but I am a known curmudgeon and Luddite. I suppose I'll miss the start of The Revolution v.2.0 unless someoneeither phones me or sends an email - no text, no Twitter.

More than a few issues have gone from individual whinging to massive news coverage and being the focus of intense discusion and debate because "the word" was spread via social media. The ability to not only disseminate information but to engage in and direct discussion seems technologically to be literally at the tips of your thumbs.

All of that to get back to my question - why use an obscure petition to get something started?

stay safe.

I'm using a petition here because a lot of people are coming on for the states secession petitions. And a lot of those kinds of people will sign this petition.

Obama and his goons do not care about any petitions, sorry to break it to you guys. He will most likely have one of his goons give a speech or statement that the signers are terrorists. This is a man who spits on the constitution, decides over coffee and snacks which person he is going to kill without due process. To him the constitution is something he wipes his behind with.

And his stupid followers will cheer that Obama has again protected them from the evil constitution loving monsters.

When your petition gets folks into the streets like, as but one example, Tahir Square, then I will believe they can make any kind of a difference as opoposed to being a sop to quite the multitudes. British college students did not gather to ransack the Parliment buildings because of a petition over increasing costs of tuition. Greek government clerks did not get up from their desks and throw stones ocer a reduction in benefits and pensions because of some petition. Musrt we bring up Occupy __ and hpw they leveraged everything from the initial idea to arranging resupplies of Kotex by something other than petitions?

Folks that know how to get others doing things do not use petitions.

Just saying.

stay safe.
