Since America was founded, Petitions have done little to change anything in government. Typically, the government simply ignores them, irritating the people.
It is also clear to us that it is because of these petitions that 9/11 happened in the first place. The people of Iraq created a petition to bomb the World Trade Center, leaving the leadership of Iran no choice but to support the endeavor.
It is also a fact that petitions do not pay taxes, therefore they are part of the freeloading 47%. Why should we pay for their healthcare.
