Yup, data collection for potential politcal enemies has been a MAJOR theme in this Regime
They have probably had most of our names for a long time, being as how we post on FR——LOL!
Let them come and get me........I just don’t care any more.
I’ve been publicly complaining about the government since Ruby Ridge. If they don’t have my name by now, then they’re bigger idiots than I thought.
The petitions are a joke. They are nothing but a data mining operation. To sign, you must register with them including contact info.
They get a gold mine of grassroots info. ie, “Joe Blow in anywhere Missourri is someone we should contact to agitate when we are pushing a cap and trade bill and want congressmen flooded with calls”. Or, “we are pushing for an assault rifle ban, this state had a lot of people sign a petition opposing it, so we need to find a way to sweeten the deal for the congressmen from that state”.
The one thing it is not, is a way for people to communicate to the government. It’s a cynical fraud,,period.
And if you sign for a liberal cause, the info will go straight to Obamas Organizing for America group for their get out the vote database.
This is trash and no conservative should get involved in it. Petitions, yes. Official government petition websites? Please no.
Aside from these petitions being useless, flaccid, futile nothings, the government agency that performs security clearance investigations for government contracts has warned that your signature on some of these petitions (especially the secession petitions) could be grounds for refusal or revocation of a security clearance.
It’s pointless exposure with no effect.
Bottom line: Absolutely *NOTHING* that we say or do makes any difference to The Usurper in the pursuit of his agenda.
Congress is broken.
The Bureaucracy is on *HIS* side.
It’s “We the People” versus The State. Period.
(See tag line.)
I remember reading, somewhere, going to the Cash for Clunkers website was considered approval for them to get access to your computer.
Does anyone else remember this? I think Glenn Beck broke the story. Glenn has been right about 99% of the time. (Like everyone else, no one thought Americans would be suicidal enough to reelect one of the worst, if not THE worst, presidents in U.S. history, but they paracitic voter managed to pull it off anyway.)
I won’t sign them. They’ll only tout the ones that agree with them anyway...I don’t need to put my name out there.
Did this petition thing online start with the Obama administration, or has it been around for a bit?
I think they’re a bad joke that further confuses people about the way things are legitimately done in this country. Its like American Idol for government.
Personally, I don’t care if they are keeping lists, but I am sure they do.
I won’t sign any of these petitions, mostly because I think they’re a waste of time. Unless one is simply agreeing with a given position of the democrats, they don’t give a damn about what ‘real’ Americans think.
Those petitions are a totally bogus waste of time. If you want to accomplish something petition your state house.
Sorry I can’t Comment ... I’m worried the Government might be watching
TT
I went there to sign it and I realised this was just a data gathering operation.
They will most likley be visiting and collecting guns from the signers.
Agree completely. We know they have an enemies list - how much easier when the enemies put themselves on the list.
i thot about it as well but at some point you take a stand. I’m not sure if this is the time but i signed and created one. mebe its time to enumerate a new charter.
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
