To maximize the ability to use this site in a timely fashion, the following is suggested:
Change the format of the site to click from one petition to another in a fluid motion and add a search bar to find specific issues.
Encourage responses by cutting the needed limit of 100,000 signatures in half. Those petitions that arrive to half the time left to closing out should be answered by popular amount down to the least popular thereby accounting for each petition.
In our democratic republic, we should give equal time to the popular and unpopular. We love to be heard!
