I noticed that this “petition” exists on the White House website, and requires that I sign up in order to log on and sign the petition. I’m more than a little wary of this “petition”. If there is a petition that exists outside of the White House, let me know.

I was a bit nervous about this, too.

This petition was first brought to my attention a few days back by a FReeper, txnuke, on this thread: Sign the petition to appoint a special prosecutor.

Registration is required, and to register, you need to give this much information: email, first name, last initial and ZIP code.

I was going to skip it, but I decided some things are worth fighting for. If so many people are standing up for removing "In God We Trust" from our currency, legalizing marijuana, and other foolish petitions that are there, I can stand up for something that's necessary and righteous.

You can make your own decision on that. But the minimum information again is email address (a webmail account like hotmail or yahoo will work, but any *.us domain name on the email address will not work), First name, last initial and ZIP Code.

P.S. If you're worried about logs on the email servers, you can further hide behind the FreeRepublic email proxy and use SoldierDad@FreeRepublic.com for the email. You need to donate here, and you'll get access to that email address through your profile here. I'm fairly sure that contributors still get a "vanity email" address here as {FReeper handle}@freerepublic.com that forwards to your registered email address.
