Those who sign here petition the United States government to secure funding and resources, and organize a rebel alliance strong enough to defeat the Death Star set to be constructed in 2016.

We can not wait for the masters of this weapon to shoot first. If such a weapon is to be constructed, we MUST join together to keep it from destroying whole civilizations, causing a catastrophic disturbance in the force.
Resources and funding would not need to be too excessive, though the death star is formidable weapon, it's no moon...
It would only take a few skilled pilots who have capabilities similar to say... shooting a womp rat
