Re: FCC Petition Website
I'd LOVE to sign this, I really would.
There are a LOT of online petitions I'd love to sign. The sad reality of online petitions is that they rarely work. This is for a number of reasons:
1. Who gets the petition once everyone's signed it? Generally no one, or the wrong person, or someone who isn't in any position to make the change necessary.
2. How many of the signatures are valid? How many times can the same person give a fake name, from various computers, and just make up their info? There is no way that people can verify the signatures on an online petition. At least on a written one, there are different handwriting styles to compare. Many signatures on sites like this one are falsified.

Re: FCC Petition Website
If anyone really likes this idea, but is skeptical, type a letter, copy & send it to all of your local, city and state representatives, especially those up for re-election.
