Anything that makes it look like there are more voices out here disagreeing with this, seems like to good idea to me.
Do internet polls make any difference? IMO, if they were all going against Conservatives, not matter how unscientific it was, it would send a certain message. That mess might not be anything more than that Conservatives just don’t participate in online polls. It might also say, hey conservatives don’t really care to mix it up on the internet, and don’t really want to expend much energy on these matters.
I participate in everything I am notified of. Let others sort it out. Participation is better than absolutely no participation by Conservatives, scientific or not.
And that’s how I see these online petitions. What if there were no online petitions from the right, and the left were participating all the time. That alone would send a pretty clear message.
I see your point, I suspecct your are also correct, but I would still want to know how they are used...where do they go once the signitures are acquired? or do they just get filed away....?
