"We The People" petition I started...would people here be willing to sign it?
https://wwws.whitehouse.gov/petitions#!/petition/fight-hard-against-corporate-control-economy-and-politics/2gyGH9rX

Fight hard against corporate control of the economy AND politics.

Mr. President, it is now clear that all of corporate America is bound and determined to destroy you.

They have NO interest in compromise with you, or with any notion of "the greater good" whatsoever.

Your only chance of enacting "CHANGE" in any meaningful form is to join forces with those who are rising against corporate control of both the economic system AND the political system.

You need to LEAD a "culture of resistance" against the corporate sector, a sector that is bent on your defeat and the removal of all humane values from the economic structure in which we, as Americans, have to survive on a daily basis.

It's truly time to put on your "comfortable shoes" and join the people, Mr. President.

Get into the fight and STAY IN IT, if you want your presidency to matter.

1. Unless he took a trip to the cross roads
And sold his soul to the devil.
But I don't think so...I think power works more subtly than that...but what ever the method they convinced him that he would go along with what they wanted...and perhaps it was an offer he could not refuse.

3. Thanks. They DO kind of make it a hassle.
My theory is that they drag out processing of new memberships when the computer can tell that people have joined to sign petitions the admin might not like.

5. Thanks for the effort, anyway.
It's really passive-aggressive of them to set it up like this.

7. Somebody signed it-maybe it recorded your signature before it sent back the email
Or, possibly, someone else actually agreed with it.

Have a nice Monday.
