change dot org petitions have 0 influence on Congress. It’s a distraction and a waste of time. I’m half convinced they’re a misinformation campaign by the opposition to get people to sign a worthless petition instead of doing what they should be doing, which is…
👏 Call 👏Your 👏 Representatives (House AND Senate)👏 And 👏 Tell 👏 Them 👏 Directly. 👏
It has no direct impact, but it’s free to sign and can quickly balloon until it’s no longer ignorable. The current petition already passed 1M signatures
Anyone (eg. people who’ve never even been to the US) can sign one of those as many times as they want. There’s no verification so it’s not even representative of US voters, much less any particular Congress person’s constituents. Congress people want to know what their actual constituents think, not what could just be Chinese bot farm. Your congressional representatives are not paying any attention to online petitions. Period.

I agree you need to contact your legislators. But it takes 30s to sign, so why not do both?

People should also call their reps

…you know people can do both, right? …
They’re sitting there passively mining Peoples’ information.
And people just hand it over. No need for a poll or data crunching if people willingly get incensed about a cause and provide contact info.
