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.

I signed the petition for building a Death Star. I guess that will put me on a list of people who like to serve evil empires and want to fight young, photogenic rebels.
They want as much as possible.
I'm sure the have a very sophisticated data base with all relevant categories to pigeonhole all conservatives and cross reference to keep tabs on us.
And the same for the libs that go to their site. Get information for furthering the propaganda and brainwashing.
And of course fund raising.
