The petition, created Friday, needed 25,000 signatures within 30 days for the White House to take action and its reached far more than that in a mere three days. So what forces the White House to respond?
A simple we are not going to do anything would be a response, so what good does this petition do?
The White House knows the presidents views on gun control are not popular so this petition is not particularly useful in communicating to the White House.

He’s a foreign national engaging in subversive activity designed to undermine our constitution and our national security. He really should be deported...at the very least.

People are so concerned about tracking cookies, privacy invasions, spam, etc, and then they go and volunteer their names to the government headed by a committed marxist!

“Immigration statutes require that after a certain number of complaints, hearings must be held on their deportation.”
Do you have a source for this nonsense?
To: Revolting cat!
Personally I think the petition website is a propaganda tool for the president.
He finds Liberal issues to use in his propaganda and has the added benefit of collecting email addresses for his campaign machine.
Any conservative issues can be easily ignored with zero consequences. He wasnt going to get their votes anyway. And yes those addresses can be filed away just incase theyre needed.

I cuold give a crap what the White house does. The key point is to get the numbers high enough that someone at CNN, if they have half a brain, understands that Morgan is killing their ratings for that time spot.
Any advertising buyer is going to notice those petition numbers too. We need to pick one of Morgan’s advertisers and boycott their product.

You are right about Piers Morgan, wrong about this bogus epidemic of "petitions." The White House has no obligation even to acknowledge their existence, much less respond. They are no more than an online poll--ie, squat.
To: Drango
Morgan still has a 1st Amendment rights.
Sure. But has nothing to do with thee and me.
The First Amendment (Amendment I) to the United States Constitution is part of the Bill of Rights. The amendment prohibits the making of any law respecting an establishment of religion, impeding the free exercise of religion, abridging the freedom of speech, infringing on the freedom of the press, interfering with the right to peaceably assemble or prohibiting the petitioning for a governmental redress of grievances.

They should send him back anyway to face phone hacking charges. He was the lead guy on phone hacking for several years before he came over here. Does anyone who is not institutionalized watch that twit?

Better yet, boycott his show—boycott his sponsors! Burn him in Effegee! Petition the Queen to call him home! No foreign Devil should tell us how to live our lives! I wonder if he ever served his own nation—i bet not. I didn’t like it when Mitt criticized the mayor of London during the Olympics—and I will not put up with this British Metrosexual arrogantly talking down the US Constitution! Piers go Home!

White House Must Respond
Now there is a joke - the current illegal resident of the White Hut does whatever he darn well pleases - precedence, laws and statutes, and even the Constitution be damned.

Piers is an ego-inflated, arrogant, know-it-all, self-proclaimed gun control expert, waht a moron! Delusional and arrogant.
A foreign national with the b****s to demand our First Amendment Rights that he can't even enjoy in his home country.
(For you left wing leftard "progressives," GB doesn't have a 2nd Amendment.)
A busybody "entertainer," fercrying out loud, 'taking on' 75 million pissed off Americans? Got to admire his unconscious arrogance.

A harvest indeed.
They can target us already. Why make it easier for them. I closed my Facebook account after I found myself posting all sorts of political commentary right after the election.

Exactly. The advertisers are the only people interested in knowing the opinion of the public.

We’re closing in on 70,000 signatures. I don’t watch CNN. Is there a consumer products advertiser on Morgan’s show we can boycott.
