At least, I think that's the wolves they're trying to exterminate.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but online petitions mean absolutely nothing on any legal level. Even if you got every legal citizen in this country to sign it, it would not bind any persons or entity into or against taking any action. So even if you get all your signatures, Bush's plan stills moves into effect.

But, let's take a moment to consider why they don't mean anything. Let's say Bob starts a petition to get a law passed that requires everyone to eat fresh penuts on thursday. He sets up a website for visitors to sign and put contact information down...

Okay... Let's say I come along. I love penuts. I love fresh penuts. I especially love salted/roasted peanuts. So I like this petition. I sign it. Later on, I notice it's not getting enough signatures. So, discreetly, I sign it again; under a different name, with different "contact information". And again... And again... And again... So on, and so-fucking-forth.

So, like I said before. It's a wonderful sentiment you're all carrying, don't get me wrong. But what you're doing means absolutely nothing, and, in the end, will do just that.

There. Now I feel better.
