Do petitions like this ever get results? This is an honest question - these seem pretty popular, but I can't recall any legislation getting overturned on the basis of a digital petition.
- eli 16y agoIt's pretty tough to establish direct cause and effect. It's certainly possible that an online petition (facebook group, etc) contributed to the idea that lots of voters care about an issue.
- icey 16y agoI'm definitely for this cause, I just worry that signing an online petition gives people some way to vent their frustration and may cause them to not fight laws they dislike in ways that have proven effective; such as calling their congressperson.
