When they offer them, sign them. I know you've all signed thousands of petitions. But they really matter.

1. As long as they're physical.
I see a lot of those around town on a variety of minor and major issues and usually go a bit out of my way to pay attention to them.

Online petitions are worse than worthless, though.

5. Can you elaborate?
I will admit, I have become disenchanted of petitions. Tens or even hundreds of thousands of signatures result in google-eyed glances in our general direction, but policy change? less so.

So I'd like to hear your good news if you're willing to share.
