I got this in my e mail this morning.

Good morning,

We're about to change the way Americans engage with President Obama and his Administration by launching a new way for you to join with fellow Americans to petition the federal government on a range of issues.

It's called We the People and you can learn more about it, and sign up to be the first to know when it's live here:

President Obama believes that government should be open and accountable to its citizens, and that's the goal of We the People. This online platform gives Americans a direct line to the White House on the issues and concerns that matter most to them.

Soon, anyone will be able to create or sign a petition at WhiteHouse.gov seeking action from the federal government on a range of issues. If a petition gathers enough signatures, the White House staff will review it, make sure it gets to Obama Administration policy experts, and issue an official response. President Obama will even answer a few himself.

While this is a big change for the White House's website, the idea is actually written into our founding documents. Throughout our history, Americans have used petitions to organize around issues they care about. We the People gives you a new way to join together with others to ask your government to address a problem, change a policy, or take action on a range of issues.

We the People will be launching very soon so start thinking about the issues that matter to you and the people you'll ask to join you.

We're looking forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

David Plouffe
Senior Advisor to the President

P.S. Help us spread the word about this new tool by forwarding this email to ten friends. And remember, if you want to learn more about We the People and be the first to know when it is live, head to http://www.WhiteHouse.gov/WeThePeople


Not quite what he had in mind

Man!  I just spewed coffee all over my keyboard.

Somehow I doubt any petitions that go counter to "The Plan" will ever be found to have significant support. 

Sort of like handing the votes in the next election to someone on the White House staff to count....no wait,....it is exactly like that.

Well, if you reply to the White House Tom, I expect the black helicopters, and jack booted thugs at you door within a week....

 

Perhaps I'll send another email,....I'm on enough lists by now to start getting some street cred.

No helicopters, I'm under the pattern for the local airport and medical flights to the local hospital.

That works out nicely.  Your land mines will stop a ground attack or, at least, give you enough warning to get into the bunker.

Don't forget the spiked barriers and caltrops....
