I'm not sure how these White House Petitions are supposed to work or even how one originates one. There are gobs of information surrounding their operations in places online, created exclusively to help Americans (and others?) submit a request for our government to do a certain thing for the people. Of course those are for people who have all the time in the world to research their location; navigate around the 'Net to get there; bring potato chips and liquid refreshments; and hunker down in study mode for an undetermined amount of time and absorb.
