1. Good Petition But ...
...I am struggling with the idea that a dollar buys a vote. This kind of crap just has to stop because money should not influence these people's votes, We The PEOPLE should influence their votes. I know appealing to their greed is the way it is right now and I signed it, because I cannot afford to go to any of the overpriced restaurants, or use their slave-made products anyway. So I can truthfully say I will not patronize those things, but I am concerned that using my dollars as a vote is not a good thing. I wish there was a better way to convince the Republican party, hell this goes for the the Democratic party too!

Maybe it is time to ditch the threat of making them poor in exchange for torches and pitchforks, lol.
