I found this link through another post on here and found it very interesting. I had no idea the government had made it this easy to start a petition.

I’m not sure how effective these are but at least they get looked at if ther is enough interest. Some of the open petitions are respectable. Some are crazy. Others are just funny such as the one titled “Should investigate assertion by CIA agent Chase Brandon of an extraterrestrial explanation for The 1947 Roswell events”. Everyone go over and sign that one right now
