I went to check how many signatures on the petition to charge the 47 Senators under the Logan Act. There are a few but the one that took off has, as of this moment, 242,432 https://petitions.whitehouse.gov//petition/file-charges-against-47-us-senators-violation-logan-act-attempting-undermine-nuclear-agreement/NKQnpJS9
While looking for it I found some out there petitions but this takes the cake:
Denounce WHITE GENOCIDE DENIAL
ALL White countries and ONLY White countries are being flooded with third-world non-Whites, and Whites are forced by law to integrate with them so as to assimilate, i.e. intermarry and be blended out of existence.
Massive immigration and forced assimilation is genocide when its done in Tibet, and its genocide when its done in White countries, by UN Convention:
Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part.
And yet, when White Genocide isnt being justified in our country, its being denied!
Mr. Obama, its your duty as President to awaken a nation that is in denial!
White Genocide deniers say theyre anti-racist. What they are is anti-White.
Anti-racist is a code word for anti-White.

(288 posts)There is a guy who lobbies for UFO true believers and he's had like 10 petitions up on the We the People site. He put one up when it first came out and the requirement was only 5000 signatures. He got that and the White House had to answer his petition.
What was the response?
Yeah, I remember when it was only 5000 needed. I'm sure there more than a few that were out there.

(288 posts)Official White House Response to Immediately disclose the government's knowledge of and communications with extraterrestrial beings and 1 other petition
Searching for ET, But No Evidence Yet
By Phil Larson
Thank you for signing the petition asking the Obama Administration to acknowledge an extraterrestrial presence here on Earth.
The U.S. government has no evidence that any life exists outside our planet, or that an extraterrestrial presence has contacted or engaged any member of the human race. In addition, there is no credible information to suggest that any evidence is being hidden from the public's eye.
However, that doesn't mean the subject of life outside our planet isn't being discussed or explored. In fact, there are a number of projects working toward the goal of understanding if life can or does exist off Earth. Here are a few examples:
SETIthe Search for ExtraTerrestrial Intelligencewas originally stood up with help from NASA, but has since been moved to other sources of private funding. SETI's main purpose is to act as a giant ear on behalf of the human race, pointing an array of ground-based telescopes towards space to listen for any signal from another world.
Kepler is a NASA spacecraft in orbit that's main goal is to search for Earth-like planets. Such a planet would be located in the "Goldilocks" zone of a distant solar systemnot too hot and not too coldand could potentially be habitable by life as we know it. The Kepler mission is specifically designed to survey our region of the Milky Way galaxy to discover Earth-sized, rocky planets in or near the habitable zone of the star (sun) they orbit.
The Mars Science Laboratory, Curiosity, is an automobile-sized rover that NASA is launching soon. The rover's onboard laboratory will study rocks, soils, and other geology in an effort to detect the chemical building blocks of life (e.g., forms of carbon) on Mars and will assess what the Martian environment was like in the past to see if it could have harbored life.
A last point: Many scientists and mathematicians have looked with a statistical mindset at the question of whether life likely exists beyond Earth and have come to the conclusion that the odds are pretty high that somewhere among the trillions and trillions of stars in the universe there is a planet other than ours that is home to life.
Many have also noted, however, that the odds of us making contact with any of themespecially any intelligent onesare extremely small, given the distances involved.
But that's all statistics and speculation. The fact is we have no credible evidence of extraterrestrial presence here on Earth.

(198 posts)White people are only 18% of the total world population and declining.
Do they think the non whites are going to suddenly take over and pass laws that take away white folks votes or create ghettos for whites and make all whites live in them or non whites are going to start lynching uppity whites or maybe have whites legally declared the property of their nonwhite masters or something?
F-ing racist asshats.

I didn't think impaired by alcohol though. I figured just not playing with a full deck. Or all the necessary brain cells.

Death star: This one calls for the construction of, yes, a death star by 2016. If you didn't see any of the Star Wars films, the Huffington Post explains that this would be an "inter stellar weapon of unimaginable destruction." (4,722 signatures as of today.)
Military pockets: Members of the military service "respectfully request the President of the United States to restore our sacred right to place our hands in our pocketson or off duty." (4,008)
Nationalize Twinkie industry: "... to prevent our nation from losing her sweet creamy center." (3,998)
Fark party: President Obama should attend a Fark.com party, or, failing that, at least have a beer with Drew Curtis, founder of the weird-news aggregator. (1,165)
Shut down the petition site: It's pretty much a joke, and the White House responses are "ultimately worthless" anyway. (933)

(17,997 posts)At least the white house petitions. You're asking for a response from the President. That's a big deal to me.
But we can't stop the crazies. So, mocking is the next best thing.
I am obviously not talking about people who are actually mentally ill. I mean the racist whack jobs.

(1,827 posts)We believe that the genetic engineering of cat girls could be potentially beneficial for the economy and an effective for use as domestic house servant. The money being used to fight the drug war is effectively pointless. We could be using this money to fund other much more important things such as the genetic engineering of cat girls for domestic use. The government could then sell these genetic household workers to boost the economy and try to further decrease the national debt. They could be used around the house so that the homeowners could pursue jobs to also boost the economy.

(1,827 posts)appear on Unprofessional Fridays and play a video game on February 13th while he is visiting San Francisco.
We would like the President to join our internet show Unprofessional Fridays. He could appear for as long as he would like, depending on his schedule. If he's interested, he can pick any video game to play or use his time to speak about any topic that he'd like to get across to our fans. Our office is in the Financial District of downtown San Francisco, and we can be flexible in regards to timing. If needed, my boss Jeffrey Gerstmann can pick him up and provide transportation (he has a four-door in case you need space for Secret Service).

Oh man! I was reading that thinking, why don't they just call and try to schedule something? Then I got to the, "my boss can pick him up. ." And I haven't stopped laughing

We should be FAR beyond this type of "thinking" by now.
I don't think there is any way to find out who starts a petition.
Though you are obviously, correct.
Since I can't tell the person, I do want to mock them
