Can anyone point to an online petition that's had any influence on policy direction? If you're concerned, take the time to write an actual letter to your members of Congress.

The banks have enough of the legislature on the payroll to stop any meaningful legislation that would impede their ability to back up their trucks to the Treasury and drive away with the nation's resources.
As the Republicans are won't to say: "That's your money."

"Jamie, Lloyd,... YES I'm on top of this... NO I don't think Elizabeth Warren knows what Glass-Steagall is... NO I won't use drones in Massachusetts, and she's a Senator for God's sake... "

I wish it could happen that easy as signing a petition, unfortunately it will take along time, it won't happen either you vote it more Senators like Senator Warren and Senator Sanders, Senator Brown, etc. or we have another bubble burst, how sad, I think the bubble is coming first.

If it were a Whitehouse petition, it might actually get read.
