Both the house and senate passed the bill, so I don't see it needing a petition.

Besides, if bush did veto it, do you really think a petition would help?

Millions signed a petition and marched in DC to support the childrens health bill - it still got vetoed.

Same goes for the war.

Petitions as well as the people are ignored by the bush administration.

The internet is pretty un-free as it is. Ruled by memes, etc. rather than a government though. But it's one of the poorest places in terms of free speech.

This reminds me of somthing, somthing that happened a long time ago. The Boston Tea Party, I know this is corney but "No taxation without uncorrupt/accurate representation". Now we just gotta figure out what to throw into Boston Harbor.
