White House Quadruples Signatures Required On A Petition To 100,000 For Response
According to Macon Phillips, White House Director of Digital Strategy, “When we launched We the People, none of us knew how popular it would be, but it’s exceeded our wildest expectations. Through the past year, interest in We the People exploded and we’re closing in on 10 million signatures.
When the administration first raised the threshold — from 5,000 to 25,000 — they called it “a good problem to have.” Turns out that “good problem” is only getting better, so they’re making another adjustment to ensure they’re able to continue to give the most popular ideas the time they deserve.
Starting January 15th, 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. This new threshold applies only to petitions created from this point forward and is not retroactively applied to ones that already exist.
In the last two months of 2012, use of We the People more than doubled. In just that time roughly 2.4 million new users joined the system, 73,000 petitions were created and 4.9 million signatures were registered.”
As we’ve seen overall use skyrocket, more petitions are crossing the threshold — and doing so much more quickly, writes Phillips.
In the first 10 months of 2012, it took an average of 18 days for a new petition to cross the 25,000-signature threshold. In the last two months of the year, that average time was cut in half to just 9 days, and most petitions that crossed the threshold collected 25,000 signatures within five days of their creation. More than 60 percent of the petitions to cross threshold in all of 2012 did so in the last two months of the year.
It’s wonderful to see so many people using We the People to add their voices to important policy debates here in Washington and bring attention to issues that might not get the attention they deserve. This increasing adoption strengthens our resolve to build new features, including an API that would allow other popular online petition platforms to integrate with our official one. To that end we’ve released the source code to We the People and would love to connect with any enterprising engineers who want to help out.

This petition nonsense is a simple tool of the Obama regime to placate and give the illusion that you are doing something, and I would not be surprised that it is also used as a tool to gather names of those that his regime considers ant-Obama, perhaps a few of those names end up on Obamas kill list.
If “we the sheeple” really want a powerful petition tool, then we must create this petition format independent of government, free of censorship, otherwise the petition is meaningless.
Obama’s real opposition is Israel. The first three attempts to have Barry removed from office, were dismissed out of hand by the Supreme Court(SC). The fourth is being reviewed by the SC,in secret. Israel has a lot of influence with the SC. If Barry pisses off Bibi sufficiently, Israel will use the SC to take him down. Israel’s agenda, has always been to take over the US and there are so many Zionists in government plus those paid off and blackmailed, to work for Israel, that Israel can taste victory and correctly so. Barry is just narcissistic enough, to take on Israel and “the ego that walks like a man”, may well have lit the fuse of the bomb he is sitting on. Barry lacks the good sense to put down his handful of rocks, including the rock Chuck Hagel. I’d bet on Israel because they are truly evil, sneaky bastards and I believe they have the hammer to smash Barry’s house of glass. My my, it’s getting interesting.
Barry Soetoro whose alias is Obama is a fraud and a totally manufactured liar. I put on the TV to see the news at Noon & there is lying Biden spewinig lies about a man who was shot 4 times in the audience. We all have to grow a pair and stand up to these liar. Barry & Israel are in bed together along with all the other occultists, masons, kabbalist-zionist and witches in the world. Barry & Tim Geithner grew up together in Indonesia, the witchcraft capital of the world. Look for the video “Black Magic is big business in Indonesia.” These witches in the WH probably spent midnight chanting for demonic power to strip Americans of their weapons. Don’t do it! A Satanic ritual is being prepared for February 3rd at Super Bowl 47 in New Orleans. Witch Beyonce will be headlining. BOYCOTT the super bowl. You can always watch in as a rerun. It will be another ritual, just as the super bowl with the NY Giants was. Feb. 2 is the wiccan/Satanic holiday of Imbolc. Just as Oct 29 began the Samhain Sandy ritual. Samhain is the most power wiccan/Satanic holiday. Open your eyes people. Impeach fraud Barry & his band of Satanists.
I submitted a response then clicked on the red button w something written on it. It took away my response. I finally made out that it said SPAM. I couldn’t read it. PLEASE please unspam the 2 spam button I hit by mistake. I made a mistake I did not mean to click SPAM.
Barry Soetoro is a liar & a fraud. IMPEACH him. He is not a qualified candidate as prez. Therefore, every single thing he did is NOT LEGAL. IMPEACH BARRY SOETORO.
We have witches, occultists, Kabbalist-zionists and freemasons running this sham of a country. Where is the country I was born into? This government is totally a SHAM.
You are 100% right in what you say. 100,000 calls to to your Senator and Representative would do one helluva lot of good . 100,000 signatures on a petition will however get you an unbinding response . I have been saying the exact same thing for a long time with regards to these petitions.
People need to wake up and not fall into their trap..History surely repeats itself..Even the German Jews remember and warn America of OHilter’s agenda..
Remember that the responses will still fall in line with what Obama and his minions have been lying about for years now. A perfect example is a response I received last Saturday regarding the fiscal cliff:
https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/response/avoiding-fiscal-cliff-bipartisan-tax-agreement?utm_source=wethepeople&utm_medium=response&utm_campaign=fiscalcliff
Please read the response! He flat out lies to the petitioners and says taxes on the middle class aren’t going up, even AFTER they’ve gone up!
This is the WH version of raising the bar. At some point, I expect a petition to need 5m signatures in 48hrs. LMAO
Complete agreement with Anonymoose – they are simply playing the people for mugs.
Kick them out ASAP. And then get on a boat and we can kick out all the dodgy MPs over here in the UK.
Well he wont have to worry about using his remote to shut down the internet them as the WH sight will just crash. To late to get a responce.
This is a change – WHY – BECAUSE the petition to RECOUNT THE ELECTION almost hit 100,000 in a month.
They also get your email address do do.
The ridiculous attention given to the Death Star petition was my big clue that this petition stuff is a waste of time designed to pacify us. Like following Santa on the radar on Christmas eve. I am not amused. When will these liars be arrested?
