'Your voice in our government' - yet it is so hard to achieve with the current 25,000 sgnatures needed to prompt an official reply from the white house. The number of petition signatures used to be 5,000 and for understable reason was lifted, although surely to multiply the original threshold by '5' is quite drastic. Voices need to be heard, people have to be able to express and 25,000 signatures in a months duration silences alot of good petitions put fourth. Please lower the current number to a more suitable 15,000 over a months time.
