Looks like a few "concerned citizens" have already made their way to the petition. This could be quite entertaining.

[Doc-Joe]

Sorry, didn't preview first:

Freeped proudly.

[gcruse]

So, how do you freep a petition other than by not signing it?

[hellinahandcart]

You post vile messages under names like "Harry Paratestes", that's how.

[sauropod]

Done.

[Doc-Joe]

Easy: An assumed/bogus name and a hilarious comment.

[sauropod]

Is that a job reference for me? < giggle>

[Bahbah]

Sign it and you will see.

[Doc-Joe]

Doesn't have to be vile. I prefer the subtle touch: Definitely time to impeach. That 7-2 decision by the USSC to stop the re-voting was appalling

[gcruse]

And you don't think that's childish, obviously. Whatever turns you on.

[facedown]

Done bump.

I have written and signed many petitions.

If a petition asks for an opinion on something, or asks to choose between various issues, I will gladly "Freep" it with what I believe to be the correct answer or with my opinion.

What I WILL NOT DO is invade a petition they have written asking that I sign my name in agreement ... and then dissent from the purpose of their opinion and seek to "destroy" it be dishonestly signing my name to it with the intent of dirupting it.

IMHO, intellectually it is an infringement of their 1st amendment rights to petition the government ... even if I completely disagree with it. I do not tolerate or want them doing it to my efforts (and they do just this sort of thing with a vengence), and so I will not do it to them. I do not care to become like them.

Let them have their foolish petition and their right to make it. IMHO, we come across as violating our own principles when we seek to disrupt it.

FRegards.

I disagree. When they have spare votamatics in the trunk (as was the case on Florida), the gloves have to come off. This
ain't the Marquess of Queensbury. 'Pod

[fieldmarshaldj]

Won't let you post more than once. Osama did say "hi", though. :-)

[Doc-Joe]

And an effort of "grassroots" Democrats (with Clinton ties) to head a movement for impeachment for the "election theft" isn't childish?

[conservaDave]

Freeped. Sincerely, Dudley Demosdisgustme

[Doc-Joe]

Just an idea, why not post under the names of dead people that voted in the election?

[clintonh8r]

And you think the petition's serious, obviously.

[Jeff Head]

When it comes to their constitutional right to petition the government ... I disagree.

By disrupting it, we are saying that their right to fo so is meaningless to us ... because we disagree with what they are saying or with the logic or facts behind their position. But they still have the right to make the petition ... as do we.

If we allow ourselves to becomes like them in this regard ... then said right will truly be rendered moot and meaningless IMHO.

Fregards.
