Lower the Petition Threshold

The Petition Threshold of 100,000 votes is much too high. To reach it in 30 days, 3,333 people must sign a day. The purpose of a Petition Threshold is to cut down on the unhelpful petitions (like death stars), even though only a few practical ones are publicized per day. It would be much easier to lower the petition threshold to 50 or 25 thousand, and, instead of spending time writing a two-page response about exactly why not to change the national anthem, use the time to check which lower-vote petitions actually matter.
