Signing a petition is not going to accomplish anything. Just like hoping there will be an election in 26 or 28.

Sorry, Timothy, but it's better than doing nothing.

Just my opinion but I think the outcome of the current situation is going to be either surrender or civil war Having spent my time in a war(Vietnam 1969/70) I know what they are like, sadly I donтАЩt think the vast majority of people in this country have any idea what war means,but I am afraid we are going to find out

Voters are not only protesting to protect their rights, but also the next generations to come. Please refer to the indigenous North American. They were the first to lose everything under fascism- all others followed. Congress is still majority white male in 2025.Fight as if your life depends upon it (because it does) or be slave. Your choice.

Signing a petition is not just a naive hope of change, these days it's fundraising, it keeps up the fighting spirit so we ALL don't rollover. Pressure is what comes of keeping the hope alive, it will be what gets Schumer drummed out of leadership. It will be what gets young people and working people to run for office etc. Keep the big picture in mind

It brings attention to the cruelty, illegalality, etc. How many people would want an 8 month pregnant American wife w/ her husband deported? My niece was in same situation but her husband [ at that time was illegal] he got deported.she was pregnant. Petitions helped. It was ted kennedy who got him home. He employs 100s now and he is a citizen. It was heartbreaking for my neice at that time. America has a heart.
