You Can Now Petition The Government On Line
The Constitution says citizens can petition the government for action. Now they can do it online. The White House will launch a web page to accept petitions from the public, called "We The People." Any petition that manages to garner 5,000 online signatures within 30 days will receive an official White House response. To emphasize word-of-mouth organizing, a petition's Web address will only be known to the person who created it. The address is not supposed to show up anywhere else on the White House website until the petition has 150 signatures. The White House said it will continue to accept paper petitions.

And the GOVERNMENT will be up front and honest as to the counts and numbers of how many sign the petitions on THEIR website! Of course! It's all part of the "open and transparent" activity we're all so used to during this administration!
I feel so much better now...
They will get a "response". THAT plus they want to call it "we, the people" is an INSULT. They could not care less about what "we the people" think or want, unless of course, the petition mentioned a million dollar campaign "contribution", otherwise known as a bribe.
