| Update on results of Birkenfeld petition |
|
The petition got results, just not the results I was expecting. The eye-opening "60 Minutes" segment interviewing Birkenfeld and his lawyer which had already been scrubbed from the CBS website (deleted w/o a trace from the allegedly full 1/10/2010 episode replay video) was removed from YouTube as well. Sorry but it will no longer play.
My change.org petition, while still available if you know the URL or search for the name "Birkenfeld" is not available to browsers of change.org's "Most Recent" list. Thus no one is not specifically looking for it will find it. Since the responses were sent only to the President's public mail address, I have to assume that the pressure on YouTube to remove the video (it came down 1 hour after I posted it in the petition) and on change.org to bury my petition came from there.
