WHY IT IS SO HARD TO GET WHITE HOUSE PETITION SIGNATURES! HELP!

Because petitions don't do anything. They will listen to lobbyists not a petition, no matter the number of signatures. How many people demonstrated against the Iraq was, lowest estimates 15 million world wide and where was our governments response? Start organizing collective spaces for direct action projects. Put your body in the way of drone manufacturers, attack their building and vehicles, blockade rail lines. That is to say if you really want to see any real response. Petitions are a waste of paper.

ratchet it up?

as much as "we" (me) would like to agree with racoon it just seems so much more 'radical' than i was hoping to do to make change.

i want to address the aforementioned issue(s) but wish we could 'talk sensibly' or negotiate (without direct action).

that is the folly of the passive.

putting ones body in the way as racoon suggests, seems to be the most efficient action in regards to 'making' change happen.

not my cup of tea really but in reality racoons suggestions might be more direct, in getting action.

and we need more action.

and when planning actions, make sure the people suggesting to put your body on the line are leading by example.
