Obama's Tired Of Answering To The Peasants: White House Quadruples Number Of Signatures Required On Petitions For Official Response | |

Quoting: Sleeping Giant Some of the petitions sought approval for states to secede after Obama’s re-election, while others called on the White House to disavow executive orders that restrict gun rights, or to deport CNN’s British-born, progressive host Piers Morgan. “Starting today, as we move into a second term, petitions must receive 100,000 signatures in 30 days in order to receive an official response from the Obama Administration,” said an early evening Jan. 15 statement from Macon Phillips, the White House’s digital strategy director.

Think about it. These people are petitioning, pleading with Obama like he is some sort of king! They are getting treated exactly like the subjects they are too. King Obama is ignoring the peasants. I have said it before and I’ll say it again. The Republic as we knew it is dead. "God forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, & always, well informed... If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty... Let them take arms... What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. " - Thomas Jefferson in 1787 |

When the people notice nothing happening, more of them start taking action instead. Think that might happen or is America just too far gone for enough people to do something? |

The ONLY reason they created this "We The People" website is to help foster the illusion that they are actually listening to us. I haven't seen ONE single response , from ANY of the petitions, that means a DAMN thing. They might as well all be generic responses created by some computer somewhere. |

They LOVE their new creation, the "We The People" web-site. It keeps people in line. Now people feel like they are making a difference, and they don't even have to get up from their computers! The government is ALL in favor of people trying to "make a difference", so long they don't actually doing anything besides sign petitions , or write letters which they never read, etc. |
