Actually take the petitions on taking petitions seriously seriously instead of pretending to listen to them

Created by A.D. on October 30, 2011

Although the ability to submit petitions on taking petitions seriously directly to the White House is a noble and welcome new feature of the current administration, the first round of responses makes blatantly clear the White House intends to just support its current stances and explain them with responses everyone who has done any research already knows.

An online petition on taking petitions seriously is not meant as a replacement for using a search box in a web browser. We the People, those who grant you the power to govern in the first place, are requesting changes in policy directly, circumventing legislators who already do not listen to us. We the People request you govern FOR us, which means actually listening to us and actually acting in our interests instead of special interests.
