Internet petitions are data harvesting and fundraising tools.

No substantive change was ever effected by an internet petition.

If you feel strongly about this or any issue, call or write (email has much less impact) your elected official. That is the kind of contact they notice and listen to, even if they are opposed to your position- they will at least be aware of how many constituents agree with you, and the potential political cost/benefit.
