I had never signed one before today. It's easy.

I signed two. Call ANTIFA a terrorist organization and repeal the NFA.

Go to this page below, go down a bit. Click on the one you want to sign.

It will tell you to verify your email. I opened another browser to come back an sign another, but if just signing one, go to your email and verify.

Pass this to your friends. Does it make a difference? Couldn't hurt.

    Once you understand how easy it is, your next step is to realize how ineffective and pointless it is.
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    So you don't bother to vote? Try being part of the solution once in awhile.

    Background on "We the People"

    quote:We the People, launched September 22, 2011,[1] is a section of the whitehouse.gov website for petitioning the administration's policy experts. Petitions that met a certain threshold of signatures were typically reviewed by Administration officials who prepared and issued official responses, however, this was not always the case.[1] Criminal justice proceedings in the United States and other processes of the federal government are not subject to White House website petitions. We the People, rather, served as a public relations device for the Obama administration to provide a venue for citizens to express themselves. On August 23, 2012, the White House Director of Digital Strategy Macon Phillips released the source code for the platform.[2] The source code is available on GitHub, and lists both public domain status as a work of the U.S. federal government and licensing under the GPL v2.[3]

    Didn't find anything on petitions be acted upon but most get some kind of reply.

    I think you are right on this on Perfect.

    The media influence on public opinion relative to radical leftist groups such as Black Panthers, BLM and now Antifa is significant.

    The media obviously recognizes theses groups and are sympathetic to their cause.

    All though I have no problem signing the petition,
    I would really like to get George Soro's direct number.
    Between him and Hillary's number along with a bottle or 3 of bourbon I could have a ball![:D]

    Online petitions aren't worth the paper they're written on...

    Most, if not all, politicians ignore online petitions for the simple reason they are not reliable. It is WAY too easy to forge the names and steer the petition to whatever result that is wanted. I WILL sign live petitions in person, and yes, I do vote in every election, but online petitions are a waste of your time.
