We must always hope.
But, I have seen other equally notable causes (ie. Klamath) that were blatant assaults on Liberty not do as well (though closing in on 40K for the Klamath petition is good, we really need 100K there too).
This issue, after 911 was an unintended "bridge too far" for the liberal/marxist/revisionists whose politcal career and personal ideologies are more important to them than their country and their morality and virtue. I believe an unprecedented number of Americans can readily see, through issues like this, the real moral and integrity bankruptcy and they are speaking out on this one.
May we prevail here and then find a way to spread this insite and awakening to other equally critical issues that are critical to our liberty and to our Republic.
Short answer? Though I hoped, I did not expect and am humbled and grateful at the result thus far.
A good place to start. Maybe the unwashed have been shaken awake. Nothing like an attack on the homefront to raise the hackles of the sleeping giant. Something good WILL come from this; the silver lining?
