I debated signing for the reason stated (UK residents), but having been repeatedly directed to the Petition by numerous UK sources imploring us to sign, and noticing people from a variety of countries other than the UK signing, I reasoned that perhaps with a massive enough outpouring of support from all over the globe the powers that be might, in fact, be willing to take that second look at to why so many of us worldwide were chiming in, and so I signed the Petition.
