Bump. On track so far to get the 25,000 needed by the 13th.
This is exactly what it is going to take.For what it's worth, I've gotten 4 of my friends who neither smoke nor vape to sign the petition. It's no skin off of their back and as they explained to me.....they'd rather pass by storefronts full of people vaping rather than passing through a cloud of smoke.
So add 4 more to the total.
AS OF JANUARY 15, 2013:
To cross the first threshold and be searchable within WhiteHouse.gov, a petition must reach 150 signatures within 30 days.
To cross the second threshold and require a response, a petition must reach 100,000 signatures within 30 days.
Obviously you didn't get the MemoThing that makes me angry about whitehouse.gov is, they don't really care what the people say.
They do as they please and it's almost always not in our best interests.
Electronic cigarette petition started January 14th, signature threshold increased to 100,000 on January 15th.Also, they've changed the petition levels to 100,000 signatures before they'll respond. Fortunately, this petition was started on January 14th
It's getting better. C'mon folks!
