I get so many requests to sign petitions every day that it is ridiculous.
I got one today to stop the CIA from torturing people. REALLY??? As if torture already being illegal in the US, illegal internationally, against a treaty we not only signed but led and the problems it causes with the UN and other nations isn't enough but a petition will solve the problem???? Get real.
Petitions can do a lot of good of course and I don't mind signing them generally. But a lot of them are a waste of time and are not even as useful as the house GOP voting a million times against Obamacare. I get that people want to feel like they are doing something about problems but please stop and think before setting up a petition. Are you really doing something useful or just wasting the time of a huge number of people?
