Well... THIS Is An Interesting Development...

They have the required number of signatures... and then some.

1. Do you know

if any sort of timetable for a response is promised? Many of those petitions crossed the threshold quickly.

2. Go To The Link, And...

put your cursor over the underlined phrase, "Learn about Petition Thresholds"...

a dialogue box will pop up giving you the details.

3. I'm in a position that I suppose I could go be part of that, however

until they come up with something better than demanding recognition in a presidential address that they're there, I just don't feel compelled to join. I watch and listen everyday and I'm waiting for it to turn into anything akin to the beginning of the Arab Spring. I'm unemployed, lost my house, had to file bankruptcy because I got down to my last $100, so I'm all for a strong demanding uprising regarding the financial, economic, and income disparity in USA and those folks and their sneaky tactics that robbed us all blind....HMMM.

Y'know if I were running this mess... it'd be simple. My demands would be that the bansters and the AIG crooks be prosecuted instead of the current responsibility/mortgage foreclosure/trading practices bail out that's being planned.

Simple, straightforward...PROSECUTE THEM!

4. Why bother with prosecution when extralegal assassination is available?

That seems really expensive and potentially divisive. Most of America would rally in favor of violence, and the rest will rally against the bankers.

5. Well from my perspective, because it's the right thing to do. Just because the CIC chooses

to utilize tactics that are anti-constitutional, doesn't mean that it should be adopted by all constituencies.
