Why We Can't Comment
Thank you for signing this petition. We appreciate your participation in the We the People platform on Whitehouse.gov. However, consistent with the We the People Terms of Participation and our responses to similar petitions in the past, the White House declines to comment on this petition because it requests a specific law enforcement action.I honestly don't know what to say.
Maybe it's just time for some good old back-alley tactics.

Are _we_ going to do some back-alley tactics to counter *their* back-alley tactics? :P

No PV.....I mean face to face, confrontational and "meaningful" dialog. These guys live in a sugar-coated world where they are separated from the rabble and raff. We need to pollute their environment with rabble and remind them that they work for us and not special interest. Poland did it right with the demonstrations. I think a flash mob confronting a senator exiting his limo might be a start. Where it goes from there will depend on the senator.
But if this is the White House that we are talking about, how will confronting senators particularly help? I mean, if enough of them are confronted and convinced, they could personally take the issue directly to President Obama...which I guess is a good thing after all.

Yeah, that's the direction I was meandering toward.
For years now we have countered people who practice willful ignorance; who promote fear, uncertainty, doubt and deception. They know what we can do. They have seen us reveal the shills, astroturfers and technical evangelists for the fools they are.
They fear us.
