For a regular person like me, 5000 is a lot of signatures. It would not surprise me at all if the WH used this to show “public opinion” with the petitions engineered by various progressive groups. You are right, it does stink.
They are circumventing the normal representative process. I would normally speak too, email, fax, or write my House Representative or Senator....
Under this scheme nothing is going through the people’s representation.
PS.
These are people under voting age...
Potentially how is this checked for legitmacy of signatures?
Petitions were through registered voters no?
whats to stop fraudulent signature generation...?
This is real bad.
