Saw people talking in comments at several places now, expressing animosity towards them to say the least, always presented as something that everyone seems to know about.

    That’s not at all how any of this works.

    The petition only makes legislators aware of the issue

    They will then come to their own conclusions, through outreach and research.

    There is no way in hell that any legislator just takes the words of a petition without thought or any further research.

    Petitions are about numbers, not words.

      I feel like we’re going in circles now, so no reason to continue. I agree that that is how it should work. I maintain that it’s important the petition states the actual issue and not a percieved one. Agree to disagree.
