House Candidates To Spend Over $1 Billion On Elections

In lieu of filibustering, members of Congress and political operatives try to put the People off with signing petitions, which is a complete waste of time. Not ONE online petition has moved Obama or Democrats in Congress to do anything.



Do you recall all of the petitions to impeach Bush-Cheney? Florida congressman Robert Wexler couldn't get through a day without constituents and other Democratic voters around the country pushing him to get impeachment proceedings against Bush-Cheney. So he told them: "I've put up a petition online, and when I get 150,000 signatures, I'll file impeachment charges". He thought that would put them off for a while, buy him so time, give him a few weeks. When the 150,000 threshold was met in 5 hours, Wexler upped the number to 500,000. That figure was met within 24 hours, and Wexler took the petition down and was never heard from again on the subject.



Throughout BushCo, there must have been half a dozen times that Democratic congressmen pulled the petition put-off on constituents. All that online petitions are are busywork, to stall, to put the People off, and make People think that they are doing something to change things.
