Sure. However, note the supreme court has not, AFAIK, held a right to sue in general: http://www.firstamendmentcenter.org/right-to-sue http://www.firstamendmen

They have essentially grounded these claims in due process violations, etc, and then found a right to file those lawsuits. Not a right to sue for anything.
When they have tried to find rights in the right to petition (and i will grant that historically, it included a right to sue), it has been cases where someone is directly trying to affect a constitutional right.
Also nobody has to give a damn about what you say:
"Nothing in the First Amendment or in this Court's case law interpreting it suggests that the rights to speak, associate, and petition require government policymakers to listen or respond to communications of members of the public on public issues."
